In the November Guitar Player magazine (Chet Atkins on the
cover) there is an interesting tidbit about Chet Atkins and his
amplifiers as told by Paul Yandell (Chet's second guitarist and
guitar tech):
"He was happiest with small amps. He used a Fender Princeton
for lots of recordings, and a Fender Deluxe on many live dates.
Still, he had a hard time finding amps he liked.
Finally, sometime in the '80s, Music Man sent him an RD 112 and
he just loved it. He got a second one, and that's all he used
after that. He sounded great on them, but, of course, Chet
sounded great on almost anything."
