Hoya Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hey All: I play my ES 347 through a Fender Deluxe and I just love the clean and dirty tones. What amps do you guys use? Any feedback problems? Thanks! Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayGLongBeach Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I play my 335 and 135 through my Fender Super Reverb reissue. Feedback not an issue. The only time i get feedback is when i plug in my Casino (full hollow body) Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ES345 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I use several different amps, twin reverb, super reverb, budda, mesa mark iv, gibson head with cabinet, the only time I am concerned with feedback is with the larger archtops, then volume position relative the amp have to be adjusted, taken into consideration. but 335 type guitars that are thin and not totally hollow are generally very controlable. peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaicho8888 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I use a Fender Twin Amp or a Marshall DSL100. The twin has more piercing tones and the DSL can put out deeper tones. For some reason at bedroom levels, the Twin has an annoying hum... the Marshall has none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojorule Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 If all were running smoothly, I would play my Howard Roberts through my late 70s Fender Pro. The Pro has intermittently made washing machine noises for much of the time that I've had it, but finding a decent place to have it serviced and revalved, plus the cash and time to do so all at the same time has proved difficult. Also I bought it for gigs which never actually happened, and in between the bouts of Zanussi music, it has not only worked, but has sounded great for playing at home, so having it serviced has not been an urgent priority. It made my Casino sound acceptable where elsewhere that instrument just sounded muddy, and it really responds well to the HR's 490 humbuckers which actually produce a degree of pick-attack break up in it even at low settings. I'd just love a 335 and a Super Reverb, but can't afford them, so I'm really rather happy with the blues tone from my set-up. But, just when things were sounding sweet and I thought I had a chance to gig it, the Pro's internal washing machine decided to work overtime, and then the amp slipped off-kilter on its castors in the boot of my car a couple of times. Not much space for it to fall in there, so no external damage done at all, and no effect whatsover on the basic sound of the amp or the tremelo, but suddenly the reverb was not quite right. So now it really needs a service/repair, and would be top priority if I weren't working abroad. Will make the effort this summer, because I am not enjoying the combination of HR and Zinky's Smokey nearly as much... I think the old *** packet is really meant for single coils.

Mojorule Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Ah, the auto-censor (lucky) strikes again. The most common British slang term for cigarette is trumped by American homophobic slang... For three stars read a combination of the letters, f, a and g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I play my 345 through a mid-70's Music Man 210-65 combo, or a Music Man 212-130. Music Man amps have served me well for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Well, for what it's worth, I use (depening on venue (size and acoustics)) either the Fender Blues Jr., Hot Rod Deluxe (with matching extension speaker), or my '80 (135 watt) Twin Reverb. I like Marshall amps, as well, and I'm currently looking for a good 50-100 watt (all tube) head, for a used (but "like new") Marshall 1960A 4X12 cabinet, that I acquired, recently. Just need to save some more "coin," for that. ;>) CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Fender Deluxe has beautiful clean tones Laney VC30 is another great option similar to a Vox AC30 Roland Jazz Chorus or larger Cubes are really excellent for clean and O/D sounds V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioXGtr Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I recently went back to using my Tech 21 Trademark amps. Tube purists often have to take a pill and lie down when you say solid state, but Tech 21 does it very well. I have a Trademark 60 for the home and a Trademark 120 for the stage. Being a twin 12, the 120 moves the air pretty well. 3 discrete channels, sansamp direct out, and a variable solo boost have proven handy. Oh yeah, it weighs a LOT less than a Twin. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulltone1989 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I play my Es-339 through a Mesa/Boogie Nomad 45. Great cleans on channel 1. Pretty good OD on Channel 2 for chording and blues and whatnot, and on channel 3 I can get some decent Santana-ish Lead tones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidl Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I play my ES-339 through my new Marshall JMD 501 combo. Lovely. That amp loves Les Pauls too. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brundaddy Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I'll run it through a Marshall Plexi stack, Twin (sometimes both together with a second Twin), smaller combos (including my Mini Twin, what a fun little amp), bigger rigs, whatever I'm in the mood for. Once you learn a good working knowledge and understanding of SPLs, room acoustics, & resonance, feedback is a pretty rare problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayG Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 +1 for the Tech21 TM60. When playing my 356 if I need something extra I use my 2x12 cab with Celestion golds. The TM60 delivers! Regards------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzGtr Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I used a combination of amps with all of my Semi-Hollow guitars over the past twenty years. I finally decided to invest in one high end amp that allows me to use all of my guitars with. The Fuchs TDS 100 in my opinion was the best muscial thing I purchased for all of my guitars. It wasn't cheap, but it's worth every penny I paid for. Now I can focus on playing. Jazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
