Which amps do you use and like best?

I have a 360/12 and a 370. Faves of mine are Vox AC30 and Dr.Z Maz18Jr. Both guitars sound REMARKABLE in those amps.

I use and like my early '70s Princeton Reverb with a Celestion G12M-70 in it.

'77 Silver Faced Deluxe Reverb and Traynor YCV20WR.

One of my Vox AC30s, or else a Fender BF Twin Rev or BF Super Rev.

Thanks guys. I have a friend in VA that is about to pick his 360 up and he was asking for suggestions. I have forwarded him all your suggestions. Thanks again.

I use a Peavey 212 Stereo Chorus. It has great sustain when needed and it sounds fantastic without using any outboard pedals. I use a 1971 Fender Twin Reverb for my 360 12 string. Loads of shimmer from that amp.

They are both heavy brutes though.

Fender Deluxe Reverb.......a blonde one if you can find it.......absolute killer combination.

VOX AC-15

2 360's through a Musicman 210 HD 130,i've had it for 16 years ,very clean tone, it's the best amp i've ever owned .
But sadly for me it's for sale as my back can't take it anymore,
and i'm not gigging so its overkill at home volumes.
I'm thinking of getting a new Princeton.

VOX AC15 (with an optional V212BN extension cabinet) for larger "band" gigs.

Fender Super Champ XD (through a Bose L1 Portable Amplification system) for solo gigs.

Both are great!

I've had great luck with solid state amps with my 360. Last couple gigs with the band I've used a LAB Series L5 with good results, and lately I've been playing through a Acoustic 150 head with an Acoustic 104 6x10 cabinet, and I like that combination a lot too.

It's probably not what most people have in mind, but one time I ran it into a friend's Marshall JCM-800 half stack and cranked it up, and it sounded GREAT!!!

I've had good luck with a Roland Cube 60 (s/s), especially with a 1-12 (open back) or 2-12 extension cab (closed back). The Cube is nice cuz it's small. I've also used a '68 silverface Super Reverb with good results.

I used to have an Acoustic 150 which blew up regularly. It blowed up real good the last time in 1971.
