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."
