I remember, living in London in the late ‘90s/early 2000s, suddenly the little black and yellow AER soft cases seemed like they were in every working musician’s hallway…finally a gig-ready solution that could be slung from your shoulder and carried on public transport or walked to a gig. They certainly seemed to change the way things were done, and what was possible for a solo artist in the city. At the time, they were some way out of the reach of my pocketbook, but they were something that was on my wanted list for a very long time. Perhaps in terms of the core design they weren’t revolutionary examples of audio engineering, but they felt revolutionary in the field.

Probably Fender and Marshall had much more constraint in mind such as "traditional look", "electric guitar amp component/design" ... However today there are much more amps on the market that were designed from scratch with the acoustic performer in mind. If you play a Fishman Loudbox, a AER compact 60, a Acus 8, a Schertler JAM, a EAE D6.8 and a Genzler acoustic array next to each other, they would all sound good. Those amps are very different to what we had in the 90's.

The Elite Acoustics D6-(5)8 is my favorite amp even for just guitar. In addition to sounding wonderful, it has really good reverb, chorus, and delay which is is really fun.

Hands down, Schertler. The only acoustic amp that stayed with me beyond a few months. I’ve owned my Jam 400 6-7 yrs now.

Anyone actually play one of the H&K Eras? The demos are quite impressive, to my ears... they seem to be a bit rarer (to find/buy) than the other offerings...

I tried the ERA-1. I found the sound boxy and small like it was coming out of the cabinet. I much preferred my QSC K8.2, my yamaha DBR10, and even the Bose S1. I went so far as to set it up for a gig and ended up unplugging it and never used it. I returned the ERA-1. I admit that I have not tried many combo amps. |

Just now chiming in as I gotta agree with Yamahaguy.
Yes I know the question is for Acoustic guitar am only. I just never played one that sounds as good as a PA equipped with 15"woofers and 2" high freq drivers. |

Rosette is expensive pro grade gear for Maestros like yourself. Lots of options and features. Made in USA you get what you pay for.

Dual 8" drivers, matching dual 2" tweeters, lovely true stereo sound with built in reverb, chorus, and delay. Super light to carry and loud enough to do a good sized gig if need be. |

[Now] LR Baggs Synapse. That it has phantom power (for my guitar channel to power my Para DI at the front end of my pedal board) is a real game changer for me. Worked like a dream with my Cole Clark FL1E-BM, and my Takamine P5DC so far. Can't wait to run the FGX5 and LLX16 through it.

Agree. Have one these since 98. Right now I have a TWIN CITY DI that splits into 2 Amos. That and on top of it a NEW GENZLER ACOUSTIC ARRAY PRO.

Haven't found one I like yet.
That said. I haven't tried some of the ones mentioned here. |
