Casino4Life Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I play my Casino through a Fender Hot Rod Deville 410, pretty good sound I wish I could afford a Twin Reverb, Deluxe or a VOX AC30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swoop Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Sounds great through my Peavey Classic 50 410. I don't get the opportunity to play through much else, so it may well sound great through something else too, but the C50 is pretty hard to beat.

charlie brown Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 All the Fender amps I own, really. But, through my Twin Reverb, especially, it's really tough to beat! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnMcClane5000 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 TWIN = ROOFTOP AMP! You mean a '68 Silverface Twin Reverb with alu-trimming around the grill-cloth and blackface cuircuitry? YES! I agree with all the above.. I own a 1975 Twin Reverb and my Casino sounds AMAZING through it, very very hard to beat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I wish a VOX AC30 Believe it or not, the Casino (mine anyway) does not sound great in a VOX AC30. Too muddy on the neck pickup and too much ice-pick sharpness on the bridge pickup. When I overdrive my AC30, yeah, the Casino sounds fantastic in the VOX. But for clean sounds, the AC30 and the Casino don't work well together. Beatles didn't use their Voxes with their Casinos. By the time they went full steam ahead with their Casinos, The Beatles had moved onto Fender amps. Fender amp + Casino = magic My Fender Princeton Chorus is the best amp for my Casino. Can get jazzy tones, bluesy tones, incredible rock tones. A Casino and a Fender amp, that's the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmitron Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I don't have a Casino. But my ES339 sounds so great in my Cornford Roadhouse 30! (it also sounds brilliant in my AC30). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafaelh Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I play my Casino through a Fender Hot Rod Deville 410' date=' pretty good soundI wish I could afford a Twin Reverb,.....[/quote'] Not missing much IMO. I got both and pretty much the same thing...'cept the weight. Truth be told I like my 410 better I belive. My Casino, or any full or semi hollow guitar for that matter, to me sounds good through anything I plug into....or a lot easier and quicker to dial in then my solids at any rate.

ataylor Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Vox Pathfinder 15R. Warm yummy Vox goodness. If you didn't know it was solid state you'd assume it was a tube amp. And if you didn't know these gems go for about $125 you'd be willing to pay at least twice that. It sounds perfect with the Casino. You can get the Beatle tones, but you can get awesome indie rock sounds too. The vibrato is great and the reverb is good too. Plenty loud to handle practices and small gigs too. If any of you love the Vox tone but don't want to spend for an AC15 or AC30, I suggest you grab a Pathfinder 15R. Won't set you back much and you'll wonder why it took you long to have this amp.

brianh Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Blackface Fender Pro Reverb. Also blackface Fender Tremolux head & cab. But I'm digging the Epiphone Valve Senior with it too.

Those amps are not Fenders! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpybqvvTmZA&videos=G-c0sQBjzA4 Dude, I was talking recording. OK, for those few remaining live shows The Beatles still used the Voxes. But there are maybe one or two instances where a Casino was recorded using a VOX amp. The Beatles knew that Fender was giving them a better amp -- especially for a Casino -- and they recorded their tunes with the Fenders. As said, once The Beatles went full steam ahead with their Casinos (Revolver and on) they were going full steam ahead with Fender amps. And you really like that live sound with the Casinos and the Vox amps? Charlie Brown posted a link to The Beatles rooftop live performance...Casino with Fender amp, much better sound.

ataylor Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I'm sorry but Pathfinders are whack.. Save up a little bit of money and get an AC15 or AC30. Hey man, do you really need to rip on me like that? If you're going to bring smack like that, why the hell are you posting on an Epiphone forum? Shouldn't you be turning up your nose at these Gibson wannabes? If you own any Epiphones, why didn't you save up "a little bit of money" and get the "real thing"? For the record, I'm not the only one that thinks these little amps are great and there are plenty of people who enjoy recording and gigging with them. I'd love an AC30, but I don't play out all that much and I'd rather spend that "little bit of money" towards a nice J-45. That or towards a vacation with my wife.

I have an AC30 and you know what I am saving up for? A VOX Pathfinder 15R. I don't gig, just play at friends' houses now and then and to lug the AC30 from my house into my car into someone's basement is just not practical. I like what VOX does and the Pathfinder I tried was really cool so I am saving for that one. Either that or a VOX AC4TV. Bigger and expensive is not always the right choice. And cheers to Brianh for putting up that Beatles rooftop video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
