Anyway, yes I guess it's nice to have
everything built into the amp I guess.
So if you didn't like the VE-8, what did you end
up going with? The Play Acoustic has
better harmonies, IMO. And OMG...how
could they NOT include the footswitch. Just
a way to squeeze another $50 from you. It's
like buying a car without keys.

Sorry I see your point . I use a cell phone and it doesnt scroll with the text . So I just hit return so i can see what i am typeing. I will endeavor to Correct This annoyance . Lol
I seem to be always trying to get my stage fooprint down to a manageable level.I find These all in one boxes appealing but like
Most one size fits all there are good things and bad things about each one. I have a pedalboard that works well its just big.
So my latest is the helix stomp which is promising. I really dont use a harmonizer or a looper except
to dial in my tone without the guitar in hand. I need something that will accomodate 3 drastically different inst ( Guitar ,fretless
pbass, And mandolin.) So its been a struggle. The pedalboard accomplishes this but like i said its big. The helix with its presets
Is showing promise. I sing but dont use a harmonizer. But would if it sounded as good as this boss amp.
And yes not including a footswitch is like bose originally not including the battery with the S1.. How
many folks like me shy away from purchases when there is such obvious greed.
I would rather see it included with an appropriate price increase.
Plus they really need a floor controller that will operate "all"the features on this amp. Instead of a select few.
I can see this post isnt formatting great Consider it a work in progress

Hi,

I use Boss Acoustic Singer Live for about a month.
I find it very "compatible" with K&K Pure Mini type of sensors - with little EQ and/or acoustic resonance feature it's easy to get rid of unwanted low-mid mud.
Reverb/Chorus effects are OK, phantom power on mic channel - another advantage.
Mute function in the foot switch is really useful.
Possibility to send signal to the external active speaker/mixing console (mic or guitar separately, pre/post effects, mix of both channels) is another great addition.
Certainly, transparency is not a category in which this amplifier would win competitors, but thanks to it, it is easy to get an effective and good sound on the stage.

[QUOTE=varmonter;6027311...(really Boss?) foot switch. so its easier to make adjustments, cons are the foot-switch is optional ,only a 40 sec looper , and no pole mount. Did i mention the foots-witch is optional.. It sounds good with a mandolin as well.[/QUOTE]

The amp is a nice product and I have to agree with V, at $500, include the foot switch/pedals. Luckily I have all that in my pedal board so I don't need another amp. However, if I were looking at another small amp, this would be at the top of the list.
