Default AER Alpha worth $350?

Hi,
found an used AER Alpha (basic 40W version) for 3500 SEK (in Sweden, for comparison a new Fishman mini would cost around 3200 SEK). Is the AER Alpha a good deal? And how is it for vocals compared to a Fishman mini and a S1 Pro?

Thanks!
/Per

Hi PB
Good catch. If it works it's worth it.

I have an Alpha Plus (the 50w version, in between an Alpha and a C60) which I use alongside my Compact 60/4 as a spare/stereo/alternate amp.

It is very good for guitar and vocals. After many years of trying all manner of amplification, AER is all I use now. Brilliant gear and so well thought out.

$350 is an absolute steal!!
