Yeah, a few of us a while back were talking about them, and agreed they are better than their popularity would suggest. They just dont put a lot of resources into marketing and distribution. If they did, I bet they would gather quite a following. I have seen them advertise in AG recently, but still hard to find them.

If we are only talking traditional "amps" (some have mentioned pa's)...My recommendation is that if you are as serious or as picky about your vocals as you are your acoustic guitar tone then you need to try ouy a Genzler Acoustic Array Pro. IMO vocals through amps are just not that good...passable at best. Not the case with the Genzler AAPro.. Guitar tone is great and vox are too, dispersion is amazing for an amp. Honorable mentions: 1. My best bud has an LB Artist and I think the guitar tone is right up there with the best..I do not like vox through the unit.. 2. I own and may never part with the S1 pro..vox are as good as a good PA, guitar tone is better than many but why I searched and found the AApro.
Some have snuck in some pa's so I will say I owned a Bose l1m2B2 for 2 years...it is as good as advertised but I always felt it was a little thin/compressed...I tried to love/ keep it but I needed more wind at my back. I always felt inspired when singing/ playing through my friend's Fishman solo amp 220...so I bought a sa330x and have trouble understanding why it doesn't get more love on AGF? It is truly plug and play and the easiest to lug/set up...if you get the roller bag.. Last edited by willymartin; 01-17-2021 at 05:13 PM. |

Taylor 412/K&K/ plus Shure SM58 to Fishman Loudbox Mini.
The amp is small, lightweight, has all the power I need, and reverb. The input impedance is 1 megohm, which agrees with the K&K. No additional preamp is needed. I have run the amp to the main FOH board at big outdoor concerts. I need nothing else.

And as far as expansion 2 simple options: They do make I believe a 2nd cabinet to parallel to: https://www.genzleramplification.com...nsion-cabinet/. Or the line outs to Self powered pa is reeeeaaallllly nice. Pre or post eq options. I attached 2 older model JBL Eon G2s (300 watts each) I could easily seeing that set up plenty strong enough for rooms of 100+ if needed. And clean!!

Fishman seems to have the majority of the market, and for good reason. They work really well and sound pretty good. However, I have a couple Mesa Rosette 2x8 amps, and it's crazy how much better they sound than a Fishman.

I surprised EAE hasn't been mentioned yet. I've never heard one, but they seem to get a lot of love here on the forum. They certainly have a cool mixer built onboard and can be had with battery power. I'd like to try one someday.

For a guy in his 30’s, I prefer NOT to use any modern acoustic amps. They just don’t do it for me. I own just about every pre-Gibson, UK-made Trace Elliot acoustic amp in their (former) lineup. I think some of the amps date to mid-late 1980’s. It’s the only amp I’ve ever demo’d and stopped playing and said “that’s it, that’s the sound I want”. Haven’t looked back since.

Flash forward to today. I picked up a Bugera AC60 when they were fairly new to the market & couldn't be happier. I got it because it was so light & had a headphone out so I can practice my effects & dial them in efficiently. I don't really sing through it, though, as I'm just playing guitar with a band these days & not really doing anything solo. That said, my K&K equipped guitars sound amazing through this little amp! I'm mostly using it as a monitor & running a DI to the board, but it would definitely work for a small room with no problem. When this pandemic starts winding down I may start doing some solo stuff again & can't wait to use this amp for that. Frank |
