Location: Tennessee | Beautiful. After you score that Vox from Beal (wow, what a cool piece that must be), then go looking for an old Blackface Princeton Reverb that's been gone through. That and a strat is nearly perfect ... with the trem bar, that is. :cool: |

TJ, Amps don't count as guitars...... I'm looking at getting a guitar back from Beggin that I sold him a while ago, so I've already paid the wife. I'm free to buy and sell again for the new year. :p |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I have a Vox AC30 with the Celestian Blues. Sounds nice with the top boost, but the reverb absolutle sucks, so I run it through a Fender tube reverb unit. I wish it wasn't so dang heavy. Beal, your black cabinet sounds sweet. |

I use varying amounts of reverb for just about everything. |

That's the truth. Most all built in units suck. |
