The Yamaha is pretty cool for a practice amp. Nice tones without ear bleed or an unhappy wife. It also can be used as a modeling recording interface.

Wow, Rich, it sounds like you've got quite an arsenal! Do you have a favorite for your 12-strings?

Vox AC4TV mini
Kustom Double Barrel
Orange Micro terror (see thread I started about this one )
and in the shop I have a Fender Champion 600 and a vintage Alamo Capri.
for My Bass I have an Acoustic B100 and an Acoustic 260 mini stack.

Probably Alnico speakers are the most 12-string matched for chime..... but an AC-30 can't be cranked very much in a home setting....

The Mesa Boogie Subway is so lightweight and packs so much volume, that its my go-to amp for bringing to practice each week. Very convenient ! This one currently gets the most use, since it fits very nicely behind the seat in my car for going to practice.(There is a thread here recently on the RRF about Mesa Boogies with Rics) viewtopic.php?f=19&t=408493

I keep the other amps staged where I use them ..... the Vox AD-50 VT and the Vox T-60 bass amp are both in the upstairs music room. The Fender amp, like the AC-30, stays in the garage until needed ..... the Vox DA 10 battery practice amp gets an awful lot of use downstairs in my house, and its small and can stash in a corner, out of sight. And I keep the other Vox DA5 battery amp at my mother in law's house, for practicing when we are visiting there. Both these practice amps have the same Valvetronix "modelling" functions like the AD-50 and I gravitate towards the AC-30 setting, but at the flip of a switch, they can be in an extreme gain, distortion tone.
