Default What acoustic amp do you own?

Im looking into buying a marshall 50 watt acoustic amp. I just bought a Taylor 214ce deluxe, and I need a better amp. I write acoustic slap fingerstyle music, so i havent been considering anything other than a clean toned acoustic amp. Any better suggestions?

Anyone try that new one from Line 6? AMPLIFi 75 / 150? Entered the drawing sure wouldn't mind testing it out for them.

I use a couple of Rolands. and AC-60 and an AC-90.
they both do a fantastic job of re-creating the acoustic sound. plus I can add a touch of reverb and chorus if I wish.
both are 2 -channel so I can plug a mic into them so I would need only lug one around. plus the cases that come with them make it simple to carry everything I need. all the compartments hold all the pedals and cables I would need.

Depending on size of room and whether playing solo or ensemble, a Roland AC-33 that runs on batteries if I’m busking, or a Fishman Solo Performer column (aka “Fishstick”). Have a Marshall AC-33, but it’s unreliable so I haven’t tried using it in years.

I use a Ibanez Troubadour T20 20w combo amp I bought in 2011. It is actually very good and I can crank it up without distortion. It can go from full and natural tone to the funky and fun with all the options.

They stopped making them.. closest thing would be a T30. The T10 they sell has basically no options. The T20 was/is a great amp, don't know why they stopped making them. I have no experience with their higher wattage amps.

Here is a link to check it out.

+1. I have always liked Crate and own this same amp. Does the job especially for a small room.

Default acoustic amp?

Isn't the idea of 'acoustic amp' a bit of an oxymoron? I think maybe this post needs to be relocated to the electric-guitar section.

Been using the Ultrasound DS4 for rehearsal the last couple months. Main thing that stands out to me about the tone is that my UST doesn't quack on it. The same cannot be said for the low- to mid-grade PA system we actually perform through for church on Sundays.
