In Search Of A New Amplifier
I've been playing through a Raven RG60 (cheap solid state) for as long as I can remember. It's certainly loud enough, but it's not the greatest tone-wise.

Sorry I've been MIA. I've been busy with college (graduated a month ago) and working with Public Safety. However, I finally brought out the acoustic to mess around with and found an old passion.
