Ultrasound amp Question
Ok so for some reason I am considering trying an acoustic amp for small gigs or such and singing with it. so the DS4( per Ultrasound site-- looks like the ag50) will the XLR inputs take the balanced cable from my Taylor ES just fine?? looks to be just the amp at a decent price to work well w/ES.

In a word...yes...that's exactly what they're for. They are a hybrid TRS/XLR input to handle both plugs. You have two identical channels so it doesn't matter which one you use. EFX are assignable to one or the other or both at the same time. My DS2 has XLR for vocals and TRS for guitar with EFX only to the guitar side. I use a Radio Shack adapter to use my ES and it works just fine. If I really felt I needed a new amp I'd upgrade to the DS4 in a heartbeat but I really love my DS2 and as far as sound and transparency it's no different.
The DS4 just has more features. You will do just fine with the DS4. The Hybrid inputs allow you to use any guitar set up.

Pretty sure they do, but if in doubt, just give UltraSound a call - their service is very personal. |

The channels are not quite identical, however. Ch. 2 has the shaping switch (a fixed mid range dip) and a feedback notch filter. It's designed especially with the guitar in mind, although for what it's worth, when I had one of these, I actually used to use ch. 2 for my vocals and put my guitar into channel 1. I just liked the effect that the shaping switch had on my vocals, and the guitar sounded fine on channel 1. I had a PADI in front of it, so I used that to take out a chunk of the mids. Louis |

thanks everyone. The shop I frequent has one in stock. ( about 65 miles away though) so next saturday if they still have it I will drag my Taylor and cable along with me and try it out. It can give me the ability to do some solo stuff with out dragging around a full pa and if I happen to play with a larger group at a strange venue I can use the amp as a monitor with the sound and eq already like I want and either mic or use the direct out to FOH. I usually like my guitars with no FX but if I had the ability to add something like a tad of reverb or mild chorus at times it could be an interesting thing. just would give me some options.
hmmmm reading many posts on stuff like this just got me thinking-- and possibly costing me some more cash
