acoustic sound
I found a 2010 Crate Acoustic CA 60D amp. Lots of effects options although if you're looking to replicate an acoustic sound you may not need. Picked it up for 99 bucks. Still looks and works great. The Shadow Nanoflex system in the guitar works well with it. If I need to upgrade I'll trade up, but this works well now. thanks, huckster

I've played a variety of piezo equipped instruments thru a Bose L1, Fender Acoustasonic 150, Roland cube and Roland street cube EX. The Carvin gives me more features, more power and better sound, and is less expensive than all but the Fender. |

The Carvin S600 I was testing also sounded better straight in. Good acoustic guitar amps should be designed to work without much else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

To the OP:
It depends on the pickups. Up until recently, and still in most cases, people would regard the best acoustic amps as the amps that can make a decent UST pickup sound natural (which requires very carefully voiced pre-amps). But since you mention advanced in pickups - and I'm assuming you're talking about Baggs Anthem/Lyric, Trance Amulet, Dazzo etc.? - the above isn't so valid anymore, and some "winners" of past decades may hinder these "higher resolution" pickups because they're wired to make USTs sound good. Also, I think it's worth looking at your PA / signal chain and if you really need to carry an amp along. If you're going to gig with just a small amp, sure, carry on looking for one. However, if you're like me and gig through your own (or consistent) high-end PA, it makes sense to get great new generation pickups and perhaps a good outboard pre-amp or tone shaper. My rig is a Gibson AJ or Songwriter with Trance Amulets into a line6 M9, a Baggs Venue or Zoom A3 into a Makcie DL1608 desk (Onyx pre-amsp) into Yamaha DXR active speakers or a Bose L1. Very few acoustic amps can compete with the detailed and rich sound and control of tone I get with this setup.

PA all the way...IMHO...
With a body rez stage...and some decent reverb such as the Zoom M50... Then the PA...I use the Yorkville NX10, 300 watt module. Stereo PA not necessary. The NX10 supports a monitor as well. d |

I understand that in some cases it is necessary to bug a guitar and amplify it via a p.a. or, at worst, into a guitar amp.
As soon as you plug in a guitar, your sound is compromised....period. A good condensor mic into a good well balanced p.a. is the least worst option to reflect a realistic duplication of the sound of your guitar, and playing. If you have to "bug up" my choice is currently K&K, into a floor pre-amp (of choice) into a p.a. system. It's OK for noise making for a crowd of relatively disinterested listeners. I have not much experimented with acoustic amps. Maybe the Acus or Schertlers are worth consideration, but it is an electric signal that you are putting out. Difficult to get here in the UK. Plugging an acoustic in to a emulator and/or an ordinary electric guitar amp - is simply fooling yourself - you are playing an electric guitar.
