Default Looking for a Amp that will ?

Do Vocals..
I can use my Epiphone ES339 with
And my Acoustic Electric with..
I would like a head phone plug
Maybe use two mic's and a instr.
Reverb
I guess when I use it on a gig I'll be using it as a personal monitor and be going from it to the PA

I did see new Ashdown AA100 for $229
Thinking about:
Carvin AG series
Fishman Loudbox Artist, maybe the mini knowing I'll lose some wanted features
Any other Idea's
I really want great vocals and guitar tone

Most of the good and famous ones will do vocals well. I have an AER Compact and it is superb for vocals but other brands should be able to cut is as well.

Any of the Carvin AG100, AG200 or AG300 amps work great for vocals and 2 instruments with their 3 versatile channels and full range drivers. Ric

Line6 StageSource L2t powered FRFR speaker - 800 watt solid state, built in two channel mixer for acoustic guitar and vocals, reverb on both channels, the guitar channel along w/reverb includes feedback suppression. Amazing acoustic guitar tone and vocal sound in a compact package that can tilt on the floor or be PA pole mounted. Worth a solid look when your shopping.

+1! This is one of the best-kept acoustic amp/PA active speaker secrets even though a few of us have touted it on AGF several times. I wonder why?

Aside from the Line 6 L2t and others mentioned, another good choice for what you want to do could be the Fender Acoustasonic 150 for $499 street price.

If your budget can handle it, +1 for the Carvin AG 200 or 300.

It is pretty much the amp you described.

There are many good amps for more money. The third channel, though stripped down, is still useful. I play bass through that using my Tech 21 bass driver DI as the front end. It has headphone jack and even a USB port so you can charge your phone or, like many AG owners, plug a light in so you can see the very small knobs. Also full 48v phantom power on two channels.

Carvin has a new powered line array product just hitting the market. Again, more money.

Right now I have a stomp box percussion unit, a guitar, and a mic plugged into my AG 300. The 12" speaker really rocks the low frequency of the stomper.
