Default NAD ~ Used Acoustic AG30

Stumbled upon this guy at my local GC used section.
Hard to go wrong for $89 bucks.

First impression, nice clean sounding amp with very little noise. The built-in DSP effects are subtle but no controls other than 'level' .. Sound decent enough to add a little color.. Has a 3 band EQ. Oh and it can get loud too!

Although it has 2 inputs. I don't think I'd be using it for vocals and guitar at same time. It has separate volume controls .. But the EQ and effects can't be controlled separately. It does have an output.... So it can be used for monitor and output to mixer /PA.

It is my first acoustic amp (no pun intended)... I wonder how it stacks up against the Fishman Loudbox Mini? Which gets a lot of praise.

But for under $100 with tax... Not a bad practice amp at all!

Nice find and great price. I typically don't use my small amp for practice, but I do use it a lot to test out pickups / pedals. I use it more than I thought I would. Certainly beats pulling out the PA. I suppose if I ever get around to using a looper it will get a ton of use.

Congrats. I have one and it's great. I'm impressed with the bass response. Also, it makes my Zero Impact pickup in my LL16M sound more natural than a PA system does.
