Ampliphying my Collings

oneartist · 23rd December 2011

I have a Collings OM hog steel string with a Fishmen undersaddle ceramic pu. I would like to match it to a good amp. The Rivera Sadona would be perfect if it didn't cost $1800. The Sadona appears to be the only full range tube combo around. Most tube combo amps are built for electric guitars with 12" speakers. I'm thinking of getting a good tube head amp and either building my own full range speaker or experimenting with speakers I already have. I really like tube sounds and the Rivera has it nailed. If you know of an acoustic solid state or tube combo that is close. Please let me know

I ordered a Marshall AS50D

Actually, after more study, I canceled the AS50D and ordered a AS100D. It was nice to get in on the 15% holiday discount from Music123 - good until the 26th.
