OD-3 is my favorite all-around overdrive. It would be even better in black.
What Amp Are You Playing Today?
- Thread starter James Freeman
- Start date
I’ve only been playing about 3 years but it’s become an obsession. I usually play 2-4 hours everyday. I think I want to trade the acoustic amp in on an AER Compact 60/4 and add a Fender ‘65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue. Any thoughts? Should I be looking at something else? I’m a home player only, at least until I master twinkle twinkle little star and move on to page 2 in the lesson book.

Ceriatone King Kong 50 into creamback loaded 2x12 + blackbird loaded 2x12. 
Both cabs are oversized, so it's equivalent to a chest high 4x12.

Not familiar with the brand, but wow, does it look good. I saw some internal gut shots of a Starwood from a Google search. Very nice!
Congrats and enjoy!

Just got back from a jazz jam session. Brought my archtop and used one of the venue’s backline amps, a Roland JC-120.
It’s kinda loud snd glassy amp, so for jazz I use the Lo input, with volume at 12:00, and use the guitar knob to adjust it as needed.
For tone, bass is all the way down and mid at around 8:00, which keeps it just at the edge of feedback. Treble is at 10:00, with a splash of reverb, except on Watermelon Man, for which I reach back and raise the reverb to 11:00 for my ad-lib, then back to 7.
This venue also has a Tonemaster, but it was on the other side of the stage tonight.

Mark Bartel is an artist. He is the founder of Tone King amplifiers, before selling it. His Bartel line of amps are built solely by him.

Thanks for the info. That explains the impeccable turret board construction and build quality.
I just noticed that the top section of the gut shot is actually a hinged lid.
I was originally thinking of getting the Roseland, but after doing some research...went with the Starwood. It's a grail amp for sure, at least for me.
