Amp suitable for acoustic and electric

Full gain, full mic modeling. No gain, just your guitar pickups.
Also, just for playing back music through a phone or mp3 player, it sounds pretty good too, and it's arguably a good looking amp that the wife doesn't mind it sitting on a coffee table.

Sounds good, thanks!

Thanks for your help!

We wound up getting him a Fender Mustang LT25 (https://shop.fender.com/en-US/guitar...311100000.html) - the acoustic preset sounded quite good, and he's likely to get an electric in the fairly near future, so he'll use the amp models. (Didn't hurt that Sweetwater gave about a 15% discount on a demo.)
