What Amp Combo do you own?

I'm blown away by the sound I got from a HARTKE Kickback 10. I couldn't turn it up beyond 11 o'clock without distorting the stock speaker

I replaced the speaker with an Eminence CH2010 150 watt 8 ohm speaker and it's warmer and stays clean with the volume/gain knob at 2 o'oclock.

Sessions, small clubs, small churches, acoustic gigs, jazz gigs, rehearsal and practice.
$100 used
$120 speaker replacement

PS: I've owned, Walter Woods, Demeter, MESA, Ampeg, Trace, GK and Aguilar... This little guy sounds amazing.
 
I've have one of these

Combo 300 by Invalid Link Removed, on Flickr

THAT'S A BEAST ... LOVED 'EM WISH I COULD FIND ONE..:bassist:
 
I'm really happy with my Acoustic B200 combo. I don't have a ton of experience with amps, but I plugged into almost everything GC had that was under $500, & it was the only one without tubes that sounded good to me + had headroom to spare. On sale for $200, it blew away combos that were over twice the price. SCORE!!! :D
I use a B200 MKII and I'm really happy with the tone this little combo amp has. I'vew been playing since 1966 so I've gone through my share of amps and this little Acoustic amp has far better tone than my old Ampeg or Sun amps ever had.
