Behringer ACX900 Ultracoustic 90-Watt Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You could spend some serious money on an acoustic amp ... but depending on your needs, this amp is an exellent value ... it performs as good or better than lots of amps 3 times it's price ... Behringer makes really high quality products for much less money than most products in the same class ... between me and my sons, we own several Behringer products and have always been pleased with the quality ...
This amp has 2 channels and multi band EQ on each ... 1/4 inch on one channel and XLR on the other ... I have been able to dial in really good sound for multiple acoustic gutiars and even for a vocal mic (although you might need a pre-amp for the mic for optimum performance) ... it also has outputs to go to a PA and I have been pleased with the results when I've used it as a monitor and run it to a mixing board for live performances .. it has 90 watts which is plenty of power for small venues or for use as a monitor (lots of amps with less power are way more expensive) ... look at the features on this amp and then compare them to other amps and you'll see you get more for your money with this one ...
Two reaons this amp does not get 5 stars. One is that the built-in effects are really below average IMO ... reverb is just OK and everything else just doesn't do it ... if you are just looking for a good acoustic, non-effected sound (or if you want to use your own external effects) you should not be dissapointed ... the other is the knobs/dials are plastic and look like they may not hold up as well as ones which are more ruggedly made ...
So if you are looking for a great value for a basic acoustic amp, you should be satisfied with the ACX900 ...

Behringer ACX1800 Ultracoustic 180-Watt Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The special effects are terrific and can be applied individually to the Mic and Instrument input. Bought it just to fool around at home. Kids are having a blast singing karioke. Glad I bought the 1800 - plenty of power for our great room. The manual is excellent. This is a 50 pound amp! I'm gonna put wheels on the bottom so I can move it around easier.

Roland AC-60 Acoustic Chorus Combo Amp Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this amp in 2005 to use in church as my monitor and DI for an acoustic electric guitar. I was totally happy with the natural acoustic sound, and the amp had more than enough power to fill the church on the few occasions where the main PA failed.
My criticisms may be minor to some, and admit that I am very picky:
1) I really wish that the line level XLR outputs had a switchable pad to allow for connection to a microphone level input. As it stands I need to use a XLR attenuator or direct box to tame the signal by -20 db. It works fine but it is another piece of gear I have to remember to bring along.
2) I would have also liked a sturdier kickstand clip -- the stock nylon clip is reminiscent of an old zip tie, and it broke one winter's day -- not at all consistent with the rest of the package.
3) I like the shoulder bag but the strap gets cinched at it's attachment point on the bag. Also, the strap cannot be shortened maximally, and there is no top handle on the bag, which means it has to stay on your shoulder or you need to use two hands to carry the bag.
Ultimately I decided it was easier to carry the unit by the handle and only use the bag to protect it in my vehicle. Nevertheless, the true test of this unit is that I have continued to use it for the past 4 years, even after experimenting with all sorts of direct box combinations including a Roland AD-8, Roland CM-30 monitor, Behringer GI-100, UltraSound PDI, Demeter Tube Direct, and BBE DI-1000 direct boxes. I still use this amp with a Guild Peregrine, a Whirlwind -20 db XLR pad, a Korg CA-30 tuner, and a FS-5L switch to control muting.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This little amp has a rich sound.
It is ligthweight, and the feature I like the most is that the amp head is removable for practice.
It would be nice with a foot switch.
Highly recommended!

Crate CA120DG Durango Acoustic Guitar Amplifier - 120 Watts RMS, Automatic Feedback Elimination Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This amplifier sounds amazing with my acoustic guitar, and like the other reviewer stated, it is really nice to have two low-z (balanced) inputs and two high-z (unbalanced) inputs. It even has a balanced output on the back, and the rca inputs are a sweet feature.
The DSP Effects are on both channels and can even have different effects on the fly. Just use the included three switch pedal and check out the instruction manual to learn how to use different effects for each channel.
The tweeter cut is a really nice feature, allowing you to decide how much of the high fidelity tweeter you want in the mix with the 12" woofer.
Other than all the great technical aspects of the amp, I really like the organic look of it, and I got a really nice surprise when I realized that there is a "kickstand" on the bottom of the cabinet that allows you to angle the amp upward. That was a really cool, unexpected feature.
If you play acoustic, and you want to hear your guitar come ALIVE, and you want an amp that will accurately reproduce the bass tones of your guitar along with clean, accurate vocals and a great effects system... well, here it is. I couldn't recommend it more. CRATE!

When you need to send the perfect acoustic signal to the front-of-house mixer, the Crate CA120DG can get you there in style. With features like XLR & 1/4" balanced line out (with Level control and ground lift), Tweeter Level control, Effects Loop, and footswitch accessible Reverb/Effects and Chorus switching, it's easy to see why the Crate CA120DG is the leader in its class.
Designed for the performing artist, CA120DG's 120 watt power amp drives the internal 12" polypropylene woofer/piezo tweeter combination to outstanding volume levels, providing both low end punch and superb top-end fidelity. And since volume without tone just doesn't cut it, the CA120DG provides two separate channels, each with its own gain, EQ, and reverb/effects controls. Crate's built-in feedback filters make feedback a thing of the past, effectively killing feedback without sacrificing sound quality. We've even included the footswitch for hands-free operation of the feedback filters.

The CA120DG also features Crate's stunning DSP effects, including short and medium Slapback Delays, Echo, Chorus, Rotary Speaker, Chorus (with Hall Reverb), and two distinct Reverb modes. These effects were designed specifically for use with acoustic instruments and vocals.

Whether you need the perfect acoustic guitar amp, or a self-contained PA system with digital effects and feedback control, the Crate CA120DG is all about tone, control, and flexibility.

Why is it so hard to amplify an acoustic guitar? By its very nature, an acoustic instrument requires lots of feedback control, especially when it's asked to compete with drums and a stage full of rockers. And although most amps can effectively control feedback, they often do so by severely sacrificing tone for volume.

Our CA Series amps give you all the tone and features necessary to put your acoustic sound on top of the mix, whether you're soloing at the Opry or strummin' at the coffeehouse. With its unparalleled balance of clarity, power, natural tone, and intuitive controls, the Crate Acoustic Series remains our most widely endorsed amp line. Try one and you'll see why.

Hartke AC150 Acoustic Guitar 4x5 Amplifier, 150 Watts Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have to admit that I was skeptical at first. However, after the first time I
used it at a performance, that skepticism faded. I use this amp for solo bar and
club gigs. The sound is so crisp and clean that it is almost as if I somehow just
increased the volume on my acoustic guitar.
The Mic input is very handy, making this the only piece necessary for a small/medium
gig. As someone who likes to add a bit of reverb to the vocals, the effects library
is also quite nice.
Something else worthy of note...the fact that this piece can be cocked back to face
upward on an angle makes a world of difference, allowing the sound to travel upward
so that it is not muted by peoples' feet. By which I mean, it is not always
necessary to elevate the amp to be sure the sound is distributed correctly.

Crate CA6110DG Gunnison Acoustic Guitar Amplifier, 60 Watts RMS, Automatic Feedback Elimination Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned this amp for about three months and love it. It can be found for a great price if you look around. It has a lot of very nice features, sounds great, and is a very good value. I play a variety of acoustic guitars and all sound nice. The DSP effects are good - if you need more or better just get a pro pedal. I played my vintage Sears Silvertone 1448 through it and the sound was amazing. I've only run it at light to moderate sound levels so I don't know how well it handles full volume.
The only thing I don't like is the location of the panel. Its on top but a bit hard to tweak - especially when it is tilted. The included foot switch is nice (and has a very long cable).
As with all amps or musical gear you'll want to play before you buy as everyone's idea of good or desired tone varies and is quite subjective. I found mine in a local music shop and jammed on it a while before purchase.
In conclusion - a very nice amp for a great street price.
