Sounds like a great amp! I have a CA60 which sounds great, but is a little hollow in a larger setting. Good luck Paul, and thanks for the reply. Norse(can't blame a guy for trying)man1 | ||

Paul, I've found that if I step on the very tip of his tail, I get a perfect E... for down tuning, i've found the need to capo up to the base of the tail, where he usually produces a crystal clear D squelch! Norse(I've finally found good use for my Bird of Paradise capo)man1 p.s. I'd tell you how I used to be able to tune Banjo's with him...but I had him neutered since then. | ||

Joined: August 2003 Posts: 4619 Location: SoCal | Our little Princess, a tabby cat, can do the job...rub behind her ear and she gives out a good E. Used to have two, both from my daughter's moves, but took the Coon cat back to Cleveland this past Christmas - Thomas Jefferson, aka T.J. or Goo Goo, very talkative and often gave reviews of the guitar playing...harsh critic, worse than Simon. Only cat I ever knew that could say "crab cakes." | ||

Joined: February 2004 Posts: 49 Location: Wisconsin | Hey Paul: Not to get off-topic or anything, but could you tell me a little more about the amp? How old is it? Do you still have manuals? Any issues that you know of? etc, etc. I may be interested in buying it. I run a Christian camp and lead worship at our camp. We have a house PA that I plug into most of the time, but would like to have something portable as well. Also, right now I don't have any stage monitors. Could this amp be used for that purpose as well? Finally, I've recently bought a couple old Ovation hard bodies and am beginning to play those a bit but am using a pretty bad practice amp. Would your amp be good with these electrics or does it work well only with acoustic/electrics/? Thanks for your help. By the way, I was truly inspired by all of the dog talk! I have two golden retriever puppies and a really old mixed breed that sing backup in our worship band. Dogs can be used for more than just tuning purposes! | ||

Joined: February 2002 Posts: 1817 Location: Minden, Nebraska | Rtmoose: I am emailing you independently, but here is a synopsis: The amp is barely used, and there are no issues. A manual can easily be downloaded. Among its other features, this amp makes a terrific stage monitor because it can function as a DI. Plug into the amp, run a line out to your sound system. It will also serve well for guitar AND a vocal mic. There are XLR inputs. You can play electric guitars through it, but it isn't designed for them and they won't sound as good as through an amp whose inputs are structured for magnetic pickups. Blessings on the use of puppies. They are hard to keep in tune and on meter, and tend to very easily become howlier than thou. | ||
