Amplifier recommendations
Hey everyone,
I'm new to the forum. I can see there is a lot of reading here. Opinions please ! I'm playing a Larrivee LV-03 and was wondering what are the best amplifiers to plug into ?

Rudy's recommendations are excellent, but it would help if you shared where you plan to plug in and what your budget is. As for locale--living room, small pubs, large halls, by yourself or in a group/band, etc. For example the Fishman line, all great, vary in capability and of course price. And I guess this is just for guitar. Speaking of which that Larivee looks sweet.

Welcome ashadowman!
Is there a pickup in your guitar already and if so, which one?

I would like to use the amp for small venues, coffee houses, large gatherings and with a group.

Welcome to the forum! Lots of expertise and opinions on tap here.
Here are some things it would help the recommenders to know: - Fingerpick/Flatpick/Strum or…? - Sing, too, or just instrumental? - Style of music: Driving rock and blues or folky singer-songwriter or…? - Other members of the the band: Drums? Multiple singers? Other instruments? - Amp just for you or PA for the entire band? Does bass have their own amp? - How loud does you and the band like to play? - Power source: Battery power or not? There’s probably more I’m forgetting. :-P I have a Fishman SA-330x with the Expander. Works fine with an acoustic-y Dead cover band. Sorry for all the questions just trying to help out. Cheers and welcome again. _Roger

Will you be using the amp for guitar only or will you also be using a vocal mic?
Some amps/PSs are better set up to handle both vocasl mics and guitars.

If you want a battery (from cheap tp more expensive):
Fishman Loudbox mini Bose S1 Pro Ev Everse 8 Elite Acoustics (several models) Without battery: Fishman Loudbox Artist Acus AER Elite Acoustics If possible take an amp with a speaker diameter of at least 6“. All those will fit to your requirements. They don’t sound the same, so I‘d recommend to try at least a few of them.
