Like to see a shoot out for these three Acoustic amps...Nam 2020

[CASD57]

They are all $399

Orange Crush Acoustic 30

Boss Acoustic Singer LT

Blackstar Sonnet 60 Acoustic Amp

These are of interest to me, as well! I recently gave my Fishman Loudbox Performer away to the local school district, and am looking for a small PA/acoustic amp combo both for at home and out, and battery power is a useful feature for me, so the Orange is most compelling at this point, but that's not a disqualifying factor.

The Blackstar doesn't sound great to me. Might be the guitar's pickup but it's really "nasal".

I actually thought it sounded excellent. And, the player was terrific. I would enjoy playing through that amp for sure. The controls looked simple.

I'm interested in the Orange because of being battery operated
But it's so easy to just plug any amp or speaker into a Jump start box or battery and convertor
I'll probably go with a CP8 but these are interesting

What about this new Harley Benton https://harleybenton.com/product/streetbox-60/
battery powered too... maybe too light compared to others?

I agree, the amp sounds good. Lovely reverb, and nice overtone richness on the upper strings. I do hear a fair amount of piezo quack, which may be what necrome's hearing, but that's not the amp.

This looks really interesting, but also suspiciously light!
