Small $200ish Acoustic Combo Amp
Since I've been playing almost exclusively this year as part of an acoustic duet, I have not used an acoustic amp. Several months ago I sold my Carvin simply because I was not using it.
However, as autumn approaches, I might have the opportunity to play some small, solo gigs. So, I'm looking at small acoustic combo amps in the $200 price range. The features I want include: * Two channels (guitar & mic for vox/harmonica) * Decent tone shaping controls * XLR in for mic channel * Decent reverb (chorus on guitar channel a plus) * XLR out (a must!) * Enough power/volume to play a small venue (coffee shop, community hall, pub, etc.) * Small and light (another must!) Of course, I'm strongly investigating the usual suspects: * Used Fishman Loudbox Mini * Used Fender Acoustasonic 90 * New Bugera AC60 * New Fender Acoustasonic 40 Any comments on these choices would be greatly appreciated. Also, are there other amps I should be looking at? Oh, and I gig with guitars that have both active and passive pickups, so something with a good/switchable preamp section for passive PUPS would be a big plus (I think the Bugera has an active/passive switch). Thanks much!

Mackie FreePlay
This is a P.A. FRFR amp , personal monitor and Acoustic guitar amp ( or any acoustic instrument ) , no toy or party jukebox
but a serious piece of gear : I have plugged in to this :
Used they can be had for $200.00 . They came out with a second gen of these - I prefer the first incarnation . The second issue uses a 6" driver and different body design : I got this package almost two years ago for $550.00 : The 8" delivers really good Low HZ on the one I have presently , LowHz is a big issue since I use a synthesizer with a lot of synth bass , I am not sure the newer one's 6" drive can deliver it .
