I've mostly played my Rickenbackers through my Vox amps (AC30 and AC4) and they sound great. I recently.bought a Fender Super Champ X2 after a couple of recommendations and it's a cracking little amp.
My Fender Tele, Fender Strat and Gibson SG sound amazing through it (some of the presets aren't my bag but hey ho...).
Disappointingly the Rickenbackers (6 and 12 string) don't sound so good, I can't put my finger on what it is that's not so good.
I know I could tinker with the Fuse software and will no doubt do that at some stage in the near future but haven't got around to it yet.
It got me to thinking do Fender amps and Rickenbacker guitars make good bedfellows?

Which pickups do you have? For me personally, the Toaster pickups don't go that well with Fender BF/SF amps, but the High-Gains do.

I haven't tried the toaster-top guitars yet, only the 330/6 and 620/12 both with high-gains
@57Deluxe - Don't get me wrong I really like the Superchamp X2, I was just disappointed to find the Rickenbackers didn't sound that good through it.
I think I need to make some time to do some experimentation. I totally agree about the heavily overdriven sounds, they're not my cup of tea at all but my SG seems to like them!
our XD is a nice looking amp btw ;-), I bought the sonic blue X2 which whilst not as classy looking as yours is much better than the black!
