I hadn't noticed any particular affinity among all the guitar players here for Rickenbackers. I have used my '68 345S with lots of Vox setups over the years and that combo is stil a major classic. Are there any other Ric users in this group?

Tue, 2007/12/04 - 6:35pm — KierenThat would be me - a 1967 12 string 330 (see picture here http://www.tonelab.net/node/1362) and a 1970's something 360. I've also got a couple of '60's Vox amps. I'm a Ric/Vox tragic!

I had to thin out the guitar herd a while ago.
But if I was going to add another, the 12 string would be my choice!

Thu, 2007/12/06 - 8:43am — theravesDoes the ring/chime of the Ric seem as true on the TLSE as an AC30 or other Vox amp? I have worked a lot to get it accurate. Also I am using a nice 12 string simulation on the TLSE that let my 6 become a pseudo 12 in the same song. Not perfect, of course, but good for effect when needed. Any tips to pass along for this classic pairing?

Thu, 2007/12/06 - 10:17am — hotramanI went amp shopping a few months ago in downtown Portland, Oregon. I got to play on a Vox and then along side some boutique tube amps. Dr. Z and Victoria, I think.
All Vox amps have a really unique tone.
Went home and played my Tonelab SE.
The Tonelab SE/LE hits it right on the head. Its pretty close, IMHO.
I'd have to agree with that.
Thu, 2007/12/06 - 10:21am — theravesI'd have to agree with that. When pushing out to an amp instead of direct, do you have any preferences for a tranparent setup that lets the TLSE sound get through unchanged?

Sat, 2007/12/08 - 10:02am — kaalI did use the 10W Pathfinder before I could afford an Atomic.
Well, the Pathfinder is not what you really want to use with a TLSE. It's kind of OK for practicing, but the TLSE is simply too good for it - the Pathfinder kills too much of the TLSE sound details in my opinion. I actually preferred headphones versus the Pathfinder at that time.
Also, the Pathfinder will not be sufficient for rehearsals - unless your drummer does tambourine and woodblock only... you can't go far beyond bedroom volume without (unwanted) distortion from the Pathfinder.
Now, I prefer the Atomic versus headphones...
