Chimike Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Well, I'm trying to see if there's anybody else out there, who loves this gear as much as I do ! I do have quite a collection now, and as soon as I can get to use my IPhone camera, I'll start putting up pics. In the mean time, anyone got pics of their ACC gear.

Skinner Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I used to own the 4 X 15 cab (reffered to as the skip by my bandmates because of it's size and shape) massive sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkin Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I loved my Acoustic setup...but my 220 head caught fire, then a couple of years on my back said 'enough'... ...and that's when you got my 404 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimike Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Yep, still got it, Thanks. 1st pic, one of my 320's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblin Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I have a love of ACC gear! I used to run a 470 with a Paulman 4x10 cab. Moved it on because I couldn't get the cab into the back of a VW Polo We've got an Acoustic Model 120 at home though, recently had a service and sounds great!

Chimike Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Hi Skinner Love the 320-408 setup,and easy to move, as long as there's no stairs ! Last time I used mine, had the volume up to nearly 1 and a half on the dial. Hi Goblin, Yep great amps, the 470, but glad to hear you still have a 120. Hi 4stringthing, Nice rig you have there, the 220;s do punch above their weight. Do you still have the original speakers in your 402, I tried 3015;s in mine for a while, superb, especially outdoors. trying, but can't, upload photos of my 361 restoration, am giving up now, it's been 2 hours. I seem to have used up my photo allowance doing it, but not managed to upload anything ! Strange ! Pity, as the cab needed extensive work, but is looking great now, just waiting for it's new tolex.

4-string-thing Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Hi Chimike, I have the original speakers for the 402, I swapped them for Eminence Beta's to give more power handling when I use it with my Ashdown head. I'll be putting them back in one day as the MAGs 575w is no louder than the 220s 180w! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimike Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Yes, Those original speakers seem to have a sweeter, more pleasant tone, the emi's are quite dry in comparison 'nother go at 361 photo's . Technically, the cab is known as the 301, this is the early version.

More ACOUSTIC Photo's to follow. Edited July 6, 2014 by Chimike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimike Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 No pics, Nigel, go on, you know you want to ! Now I'm trying to put pics of my 370-301 rig, but finding it impossible, anyone any idea's ? Must be some other Acoustic rigs out there ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumour6 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 A lot of the 301's sound is the original Cerwin Vega (red cambric surround) driver, tried the boxes I've had (where the drivers came blown: couldn't find a replacement/recone for love nor money) with others but never the smooth sound... Used a 320 with a 406, 370 with a 301 and 406 and a 220 with all sorts of cabs... but never had a 408 (4x15) band I used to go and see in Glasgow in the 80's (Chou Pharot) used the 320/408 combination... mental in a pub setting!!! Keep the faith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimike Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Hi Rumour6, Some good combinations there, I'm going to try my 320 with a 406 when I get a chance, but will use EV's in the cab, or maybe Kappalites , far easier to transport than the 408. The 18". Cerwin Vegas are a problem, I have 1 original working, and 2 to go for re-coneing, will have to check the spec with the re-coner before I let him loose. Thanks for the tip. Hi Discreet.

JPJ Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Heard a rumour that Acoustic are back in business stateside? Richard Turner of Blackberry Smoke talks about using them in the states on this video [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pix9jD0PJs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pix9jD0PJs[/url] unless he's referring to old stuff?

Maxn Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Here is a Pick of my 370 Head, Purchased off ebay along with a 270 head about 3 years ago. Unfortunatly that was so bad i had to use some parts for the 270 head, Transformer been the main thing as the 370 had a 110v transformer inside. I re-capped it, changed resistors where needed, still hass the orignal Output transistors! Some of the Sliders were too far gone but i had some in a box of bits from an old hifi i stripped years ago, knew there was a reason i kept crap like that!...New Tolex and Retro knob's it's all done. I have to say i love it! I only use it in a rock band i play in as i tend to use my Mark B Little tube for most gigs. But when i play a big venue i know i take this and my Rickenbacker, and they are such a great match! When you switch in the bright it goes twang crazy!! And when pushed it breaks up nice. This is a strange move for me i usualy like a solid clean bass tone having used EBS, Mark, Trace etc but still like it!!! I use it with a Markbass Classic line 6x10 or a Peavy I think its a 1810 in rehearsal. That sounds cool too.

clarkpegasus4001 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I used to use a mint 1X15 Acoustic Corporation combo, which I used for a Wishbone Ash tribute. I should never have sold it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
