Acoustic Control Corporation 360

I believe this amp to be a 1971 model. It is a very large and loud amp and is perfect for rock. I keep it at home as it is too large for me to move around as I am not 19 anymore! It has a high and low input, bright and normal rocker switch, volume, treble, bass, variamp control with balance and effect controls, a Fuzz channel with attack and gain controls, and an electronic tuning fork with fine and course controls, an on off switch for the tuning fork, a ground rocker switch and finally an on/off rocker switch. The amp came with a foot pedal to control the fuzz but mine was long gone. It has all of the features and power I need with its 18 inch folded horn cabinet with built in power amp. The preamp is the head.

It gives me the sounds I always heard on my favorite bands records. Kenny Aaronson used 4 of them with Dust! Larry Graham used these with Sly and the Family Stone! These were THE amp back in the 1970's and I am very lucky to have found one for my own use. The clean sound is awesome and very earth shaking and the fuzz channel is very brutal!!

Never had any problems with this amp, and it is nearly 30 years old!! Well, I did replace the speaker, but that is to be expected. It has an 18 inch Peavey Black Widow in place of the stock Cerwin Vega speaker.

Not really fair since the company is out of business. I do hear that there is a reissue of this amp and look forward to comparing them! Acoustic made some very fine bass amps.

I've been a player for nearly 23 years and use Trace Elliot, SWR, Peavey, Korg, and Rackrider gear for my amplification and speaker use. My basses are G&L L-1000, Ovation Magnum II, Fender Jazz Bass, and a Washburn Bantam to name the main ones. This amp is irreplacable if it were lost or stolen. They are very hard to come by. Mine is not mint but it is very valuable to me. I chose it because it is what a lot of my bass heros used.

Lifetime warranty, too bad the company is out of business. Don't know why. Had to be poor management because the product was pure "kick ass" superb! Never had to deal with company.

Been playing 34 years; also have '68 Standel Artist combo amp, '99 Hartke Kickback 15, '99 Squier P-bass Can't buy it anymore unless you have a time machine then yes I would! Never have to worry about not being heard! Bulky to haul around. In 1971, everybody had one, after I bought one I knew why! For bass I don't think you need any kind of gimmicky effects. Set the variamp on 3, the bass at 9 o'clock, the treble at 3 o'clock, the effect at full bore, and the volume at half, then stand back! You'd better have a large wall of modern day equipment to match it and if you do I would just hook up another 361 bottom to surpass it!

This amp was made in 1971. This is the best amp I have ever heard. It has enough low end to move a mountain and enough edge to cut through steel. It has four outputs, a footswitch hookup, and a preamp built in side of it. You can get ALOT of tones with this amp. The speaker is 28 years old and it still soulds like a brand new one.

I am using a 4001s Rickenbacker bass. Just like Paul McCartneys set up. When he played with Wings he had the same thing, the amp, the bass and everything. This amp also has distoration on it. I don't like distortion so, I never use it. The cabinet is a folded horn version and has a vari amp in it,it has 1 18 inch speaker in it also.

This amp HAS TO BE the best built amp! This amp was in back of a truck and it fell out onto the highway and tumbled end over end and it didn't really do anything to it. The amp has never broke down and it's just the best there is to me. For this category rating...I would put 20 down if I could.

It's hard to answer this question because the Acoustic company went out of business some years ago. But...all of there amps warranty's were for life. If something went wrong, they would fix it free of charge.

I have been playing for about three years. This is my dad's amp, and he has been playing for about 30 years. My Brother own's a Hofner Violin Beatle Bass, I own a Greco Hofner copy Beatle Bass, and a 4001s Rickenbacker (which is left handed and is my dad's). My dad also own a 1979 Acoutic 406/220 bass amp, a crate guitar amp, and a Kustom 250 with 2 12's in it. I also own a Kustom bass amp with 3 15's in it.
