Everyone likes something different. I like the Allesandro Commins amp.

I have a small Roland JC-55 2x8 amp that is my favorite for my archtop.

I think it depends on the archtop mostly. Do you use it mostly for acoustic-style But thev or electric playing? Is your archtop thin and shallow like a 335 or deep like a Super 400?

I have a big, deep archtop that is at home and loud in both acoustic and plugged in venues.I play it through a Roland AC60. Three years ago, I played it mostly acoustic. Today, I use electric strings and plug in. Using my rule, I should be using an electric amp. But the Roland sounds good enough for me.

But the Roland sounds good enough for me. And it is a fantastic synth amp.

Hi,

sorry for being a Tech21 fanboy first!

Use an acoustic amp and put a Tech21 Character-Pedal (Blonde or Liverpool) in front of it. So you got an acoustic AND an electric amp.

The Roland Jazz Chorus and the Polytone Brute have been the standard backline amps in jazz clubs for a long time. Most of the biggies got their sound playing through those amps.

If you have something else in your head, then they sky is the limit. I prefer the mid-scooped sound of Fender blackface amps personally.
