We’ve used various Fenders in the past, but this is by far the nicest sounding one I’ve heard.  It has the perfect Fender sound – and its reverb is just beautiful.  Once in the van, we made a beeline back to your recording space to give it a full run through at full volume.

Besides it being a damn loud amp, it sounds “just right”.  Just plug in and play – not much else is needed.  After spending a lot of time struggling, and not succeeding in getting the right sound for a few of our songs, this amp got us there in a few minutes.

One of the many good things about the Rick that Ben is playing, is the way it feeds back.  That’s also why he’s standing so close while he’s playing (i’m sure his ears will thank him later).  Once it’s starts to feedback, you get an amazing lush wall of sound which fills up space so nicely.

Now, if we only had an AB/Y switch that was quite so we could get both channels pumping at once.  We actually have 2, but they are way too noisy for your liking.  The Divided by 13 Switchazel looks real nice, but it’s also $275.00 – i think it’s going to have to wait.

Once we get the AC30 back (hopefully later in the week), these two amps will be singing together proudly.

Now the “30 day” clock is ticking…

The AC30 is still periodically making some unsettling rattling noises, so it will need to see the amp doctor at some point, but I hope today sets a good precedent.

To help with some tone alternatives, we  may be aquiring a Fender Twin very shortly, which we’re all excited about.   The fender twin and an AC30 playing nice together, what more can you ask for?
