Inspired by a discussion in another thread:
Huh...There's this old Acoustic guitar combo at my local Music/Pawn shop (can't remember what model) that they only want $125 for...I've been tempted time and time again to try it since I know Pat Metheny used one back in the day (along with Jaco Pastorius) and I've always dug those fusion/punk jazz tones from the ECM album days.
"The Acoustic 134 model - Pat used this transistor amp for 20 years from 1974 to 1994. Although it had the sound he was looking for, it was noisy, and tended to break a lot. Says Pat: "That amp had the sound for me. flat, kind of midrangy-bright but mellow and LOUD without any distortion. a hard combination of things to find in one place."
They may be considered 'low' but if it gets you the sounds that you want, right?
Anyone have more information/experience/opinions on these old SS amps?
Thanks!
