Availibility of acoustic guitar amp with 1 instrument channel and 2 mic channels?

[OneThing]

Take a look at the Marshall As100D amp. I played through one last weekend with another guitarist and one vocal. Channel two could be used for a mic in addition to channel three. Not without some consideration though. I found it to be a very feature packed amp. It took me about ten minutes of tweaking to get my guitar to sound good, but after that it was a very enjoyable jam.

AER Domino. 4 channels with either XLR or 1/4 inputs. Great Sound.

Whew, more choices. I had already looked into the Marshall amps and the other more well-known brands such as AER, Boss, etc, but some of these other boutique amps are churning things up I'm trying to keep the price at around $1000 give or take, so some of these suggestions, while great, are probably a bit more than I want to spend---but all of this info is extremely helpful.

The Marshall AS100D caught my eye a couple of days ago. The local GC here in Columbus carries them. The local Sam Ash might also stock them. I'm still thinking about the Schertler too. Those look nice.

Thanks again to all!

My main thing in performing is my guitar and two vocals (mine plus a girl singer). I wasn’t aware of the Acus One models. They look great except for no sweepable mid EQ.

They're one in the same. Carvin IS the San Diego county factory. They had a small showroom there but sold solely factory-direct for their multi decade existence. Definitely going out of business, and not building any more amps, PA's, cabinets, etc. You will not find them stocked in any stores. You may be able to pick up a used AG or SA somewhere, but they are worth more now than they were 6 months ago for sure.

Wasn't someone saying that Carvin will still sell products but not direct? Too bad if they are closing, had some gears from them 20 years ago.

Another good solution would be to get the two channel amp of your choice (or a couple of powered speakers), and combine that with a small unpowered mixer (like this 4 channel Behringer). This would give you a lot of sound shaping capability.

You might also look into keyboard amps ... something like a Peavey KB5. Keyboard amps are designed cover the full musical spectrum, often have decent
FX, multiple inputs/channels. They make fine acoustic amps, really.

Another vote for the Schertler Jam 200

This is the solution I was going to suggest, as well.

I'd go with a small mixer and a small powered speaker. Other than my Carvin AG300, I haven't found an affordable acoustic amp I like for vocals. Schertlers and AERs are great but cost.

I purchased a Behringer digital mixer and my Loudbox mini never sounded better. I did not like the LB mini going direct, at least for vocals. However with a mixer first, it sounds much better.

Just my 2 cents.

This. Just use a mixer.
