Testing my new Amp ORLANDO ACETONE SPECIAL 15" - (VIDEO)

Here is the test of my new amplifier, after so much waiting, Giuseppe Orlando, builder of this fantastic little gem, called me saying he was ready. I try this instrument using my three electrical voices:

Gretsch 6122/1959
Telecaster '52 reissue pure vintage
Gibson L5 CES Crimson

This model, ACETONE SPECIAL 15 ", in particular, was built for me under my specifications on the 15" speaker, to recall the advice of the great Chet Atkins precisely on the diameters of the speakers, he in fact used a JBL D130 in his Standell.

My video is a tribute to fingerstyle as well as a tribute to Giuseppe Orlando for his work. I chose three songs of my liking on three different guitars, Gretsch 6122 for Chet Atkins, Telecaster for Paul Yandell and Gibson L5 for Walter Rodrigues jr.

sorry for my many mistakes, I hope you like it

PAOLO.

Paolo, the amp (and you) sounded great. I enjoyed all 3 songs, but my favorite was the sound with your 6122. Excellent playing on all 3.
Take care.
Ray

thanks Ray, will it be that we are Chet fans or the 60s Supertron or the 15 "speaker, it must be said that this amp has fantastic dynamics and response speed, maybe the nos components and the point to point cabling really make the difference, who knows?

Lovely sounds Spader - I particularly thought it paired well with the Gretsch. Beautiful clean tones from all three though - I love 15 inch speakers too, they give a lot of 'body' to guitar tones.

Paolo, I was listening through my AKG K240 Studio headphones and everything sounded very nice! You have some very nice guitars to test this with! I also appreciated your playing.

Thanks for the nice words Rande, I am obsessed by the beautiful sound that can be that of Chet or
The jazz sound of Wes or a nice nylon sound or even folk like that of a DelVecchio.
So the choice of guitars and their interfaces as amps or microphones is of equal grade.
I believe my future purchase will be a ribbon microphone.
