Default FENDER ACOUSTIC 100/200: YAY, NAY OR MAY?

I just tested (and laid away) a Fender Acoustic 100. For some reasons, I fell in love with it. What do you think about them?

Personally I’d look for a used Fishman Loudbox Artist. Did you A/B it against a Fishman? IMHO a better amp and only a few bucks more used than the Fender.

I bought a Loudbox Artist at my favorite retailer, Mass Street Music, after trying the Fender 100 and to my ear, the Artist is head and shoulders a better sounding amp with lots of OOMPF! Best wishes, it just worked better for me. A little more expensive, but finding a used Artist would be a good buy

Actually, I did. The Fishman is kind of the benchmark, but the Acoustic100, is cleaner, at least with my Taylors

Have one and love it. It does not add to the tone, which I like and has all features I need. Only for home though, as it is quite delicate for the road.
