Henriksen amp

Anyone use one of these can share recommendations for which of their Amp range works best for GJ guitars to still retain that acoustic sound?

Thanks

Thanks Buco, I'll check it out.

As far as I can tell, the major sonic variable is the size of the speaker/cabinet combination. I recently bought a Blu Six--single channel, 6.5" speaker, 9"-cube cab, and 120 watts--mostly for the weight/size spec--about 13-14 pounds in its carry bag. The bigger models bump the speaker/cab combinations to 10 inches (and the weight proportionately more) and might sound "bigger," but I suspect that their foundational voices would remain the same. In fact, the guitarist with the band I sit in with has one of the older 12" Jazz Amp models, and his sound is like mine only, um, bigger. And it's a lot heavier.

The Henriksen amp electronics, especially the tone-shaping controls, have a really good reputation, though I don't mess much with mine.

They're not cheap, but I couldn't find another amp with the weight/feature/quality combination. I'd been using a Roland AC-60, which is a really nice near-equivalent with two channels, two 6-inch speakers, and good tone controls--but it weighs 21 pounds and tops out at 30 watts/channel. A very good amp, but my aging shoulders have retired it to situations where I need a separate vocal channel.
