Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm not that experienced with guitar amps. The only other amp I've owned is an Acoustasonic Junior, the old one without the DSP effects. It only had reverb and chorus. I'm no expert on amps so take that into account as you read on.
Reason I bought a new amp is because the mic section of the Fender Acoustasonic blew out and I didn't feel it was worth the money to have it fixed. This amp is much better sounding that the Acoustasonic.
This amp has only 5 effects...2 Hall, 2 Plate reverb and a Chorus and the differences between them are real subtle. But I play classical guitar into this with a mic so I'm not looking for big special effects, only a little hall or reverb in order to brighten up the extremely dull room I practice in. I've been playing guitar for over 50 years...my gigging days are long gone so I'm not looking for a wah-wah pedal. This amp is strictly for my own enjoyment and I really love it. The sound of my Pavan 30 classical guitar is extremely natural coming through this amp, which is exactly what I wanted and the amp makes it sound like I'm playing in a large hall with great natural acoustics. I use an AudioTechnica pro 37 condenser mic with it.
Had a little trouble at first with feedback, but that's always the case with a mic. Eventually I figured out the right gain, volume and amp placement and that problem is solved. The tone controls really work, you can turn the tweeter down if your high notes sound a bit shrill, (I turned it down just a tiny bit) and overall, every control on this amp had a function and they all work great. There's nothing fancy here, just a great sounding amp. Love the light weight. At 23 lbs it's a lightweight compared to the Fender acoustisonic at 43 lbs. I plugged my steel string acoustic with pickup into it and without having to worry about mic feedback, I cranked it up. Holy cow, you would definitely wake up the neighbors. It sounded fantastic, but I rarely play the steel anymore.
So....bottom line, highly recommended
