  • I'm playing a Gibson Chet Atkins Acoustic/Eklictruc Guitar through a cranked 1971 Marshall Super Bass Full Stack. These guitars were built in the 1980s and 1990s and you may be surprised how good and natural they sound both clean and fully distorted!! Since the stings are non metal the pick ups are based on Piezo technology. Most natural sounding piezos I've ever heard!

    My first guitar teacher had one of these. He played the riff from “Money For Nothing” with the proper gain and my 12-year old mind was blown.

    One very useful trick my mentor showed me long ago was to place a towel or a piece of foam between the head and cabs, your tubes will thank me later ;)
    This video really brought back some fond memories of being 14 years old and plugging my electric acoustic into my solid state Peavey, because it's what I had at 14, and really being shocked at the tone I got from it. I haven't done that in many years, but seeing this makes me want to give it another go!

    I remember being impressed by the Chet Atkins CEC when it first appeared in 1982 (and the later SST from 1987-2006). It was a genuine innovation by Gibson. It was discontinued in 2006, but by then it had been used by some major artists. There was also an Epiphone equivalent from 1995-2005. Nowadays, the nearest thing is probably one of the Godin Multiac series.

    Hey johan are the ear wear monitors or ear muffs/protection from volume? If they are muffs how much does that impede your ability to hear how things sound? I’m getting ear problems as I get older and trying to find a comfortable solution for volume control but still be able to hear the amp well. I don’t really play in a situation where in ear monitors would be feasible

      Hi! These are industrial ear defenders that takes out all treble and high mid. Sometimes I wear in ear phones underneath for monitoring. There are isolation headphones for drum recording that I’m gonna get. I can post a video on it when I do. Cheers
