The Sedona 55 is the acoustic/electric amp (very expensive)
I really like my Sedona Lite (not as expensive or as heavy as the Sedona 55) for that very reason. It's their dedicated acoustic amp.
Herb is right though: Tube amps are more expensive, tubes are more expensive, and they in fact, do begin to wear out from the minute you install them. "Most people favoring tube amps, in applications other than for electric guitars, do so for romantic reasons."
Taylor uses the Sedona 55 as the reference amp in their shop, and they are a bunch of romantic SOB's, just like me.
In fact, I've never heard a more romantic tone from any acoustic amp, but careful, they are expensive, and I've already replaced a pair of tubes once. 500 hrs = $70.
Best $70 I've ever spent!
