Default NAD. AER Comapct 60 .

I got this amp over the weekend.

what a great amp. I tried/owned Roland , Schertler, fishman..

I have been tried passive/active pickup, DI box, preamp.. and so on.

I wanted to try through the amp. and i pulled the trigger.

this amp is the best among them in my opinion.

Very easy to use and sounds great.
I will try to go through my church's PA system next week sometimes.

Hi moga,
Excellent choice i brought mine last week. Amazing sound.

I am thinking of getting a better pick up for my Tanglewood jumbo I have one of those B Band pick ups which are ok but not perfect. Love the AER though.

Check out AER AK-15 pickup. Best match to AER amp!

Please give us a report/road test when you perform with it. I'm very interested in the exact same amp. I just ordered a Fishman Loudbox Artist Pro and am waiting, but if I don't like it when I get a chance to play with it, it'll go back under Guitar Center's return policy and your amp will be on the really short list.

I have the AER alpha plus. It replaced my trusty Marshall acoustic amp and is dramatically better - I absolutely love it! It is small, light, tough, has a clean crystal clear sound and is very quiet. It amazes me how loud it is when cranked up. I chose the Alpha plus over the Compact 60 because it is effectively a one channel amp with separate inputs for guitar and microphone. The XLR microphone input will accept the balanced output from a Taylor ES (I have an 812 ce) which gives the guitar a louder and clearer sound, and because the 3 channel eq controls both mic and guitar inputs you still have 3 band eq for the ES. I can then send the balanced signal on to a PA via the DI output on the back of the amp (or you could use a break out box). It also makes a great stage monitor. The only down side is that you can't use the amp with a microphone with XLR output at the same time as the balanced output from the ES. I highly recommend the AER amp.
