Default Boss Live/Singer Acoustic guitar Amps

Anyone tried one of the Boss live/singer acoustic amps and able to compare their tone quality to the usual competitively priced amps (Fishman, Boss AC, etc.) and/or higher echelon models (AER, Schertler, etc.) ?
They seem to be relatively new and few reviews by folks experienced with good or pro performance are available.

I think they have a nice guitar sound to them. Very comparable to Fishman IMO.

I have the Boss Acoustic Singer Pro model, and quite like it.
I only played the guitar through the Fishman, and prefer the added resonance features available on the Boss model.

Default I'm no expert, but...

My Boss Acoustic Singer Live is the best acoustic amp I've tried. Last Christmas I gave my daughter a Loudbox Mini Charge, and it sounded no better in my limited tests. The boss is far more versatile, though. I rarely use any chorus, but it's there. Three EQ knobs + four acoustic resonance settings combine for endless flavors. It also makes a dandy electric guitar amp, if you like crisp jazz chorus stylings.

I own and have gigged with the ASL, and in my opinion it is very much like the Fishman LB Mini, except it has considerably more flexibility. The additional flexibility includes:

Phantom power
Db attentuation
Guitar “body res” with three selectible options
Delay for vocal channel
Simple vocal harmonizer
40 second looper
Tweeter defeat
Two xlr outs with mix controls
Recording out
Adjustable anti-feedback

Both achieve about the same volume. I think I like the LB Mini tone controls better.
