Classical Guitar Amp: Roland AC-33 Acoustic Chorus Guitar Amplifier 

I applaud your style on this video. Easy to understand, not biased, great guitar talent. I really enjoyed this video regardless of whether I purchase this particular amp.

i upgraded mine with 5.25 co axial high quality car speakers and now has high frequency tweeters......blown away with the sound night and day compared to the cheap 5" stock ones on it.

Your playing is really good. Loved your music. The amp goes so well with classical guitar.

Thanks for the review! Have used this professionally for three years now and it's a really, really excellent practical tool for the performing background music classical guitarist. Very reasonably priced, I LOVE the rechargeable battery pack (I bought a spare from overseas and another set of Eneloop Pro batteries), light weight, and feedback suppression. Easy battery replacement in emergencies sets this apart from its peers as far as I'm aware, an internal battery is too risky. I get about 6 hrs before i start to get twitchy about it running out! Added an internal mic to my guitar and really adds spice and depth. Reverb and clarity remarkably good for a small amp. If Roland were to bring out an upgrade with a smidge more power I'd buy it INSTANTLY. Would benefit from a lightweight stand mount underneath for indoor gigs with loud crowds, and a low battery warning light is always useful. Oh and the range of inputs/outputs very helpful on the back - it's been used for wedding speeches, phone playlists during breaks and even as a monitor so it's very versatile. Roland, make a supercharged upgrade and take my money!!

Roland typically makes good products. Solid, well designed, and worth the extra cost. I'm using their Octa Capture audio interface.

Great review. Thanks. Have an AC40 and a heavy AC90 presently but will get myself one of these portable ones now.

Yeah, that's a nice little kit. Pretty natural and wholesome sound. Other amps can make an acoustic sound like the guitar is holding its nose - lol (the sound is anything but natural). Easy-haul and flexible package. I like the dual channels. Chorus doesn't do anything for me though, but that's just my own little gripe. Thanks for the review. I'm going to look into one. Anything is better than my Line 6 Spider II. That's a beast (although I like the speakers).

Very good rewiew! Thanks) I have got this amp and I'm happy!

Thank you so much for the review! I have been using the AC-90 and I love it. I feel like the amp does not add “color” to the sound which is great for a classical musician! I like that you can use batteries on the AC-30 but it doesn’t have phantom power.

I bought an AER Compact Classic Professional amp designed for classical guitar with a 2 way speaker - it was a really good deal in Central Asia where I am. But, this Roland sounds amazing as well, especially for the price! Great playing too, by the way.

@thisisclassicalguitar Thank you for the review. And thank you for all your high quality videos on your channel. 🙏🏼 Looking for a high quality amplifier at the moment. The main thing that I’m doubting about this one is the power of the amp and the size of the speakers. Quality of the amplified sound is the main spec for me. I’m looking for an amp that can reproduce a full, defined and both clear and warm tone in venues of about 100 people. This one seems a little too small for this. What is your opinion (and experience) about this ? As a comparison: I’ve also seen amps like the H&K ERA1 and 2, or something very different like a line array (like for instance the EV Evolve 30M). Would love to hear your opinion on these amps ? Or maybe you could do a video about these ? Another question: Almost all amp reviews I’ve seen on RU-vid are performed in a small room. Is it possible that you can also do reviews in bigger venues, or maybe even outdoors ? That would be a great addition ! Thank you in advance for your reply and keep on the great work !

I played a gig using my Roland jazz jc 40 chorus . On the amp eq flat with a little reverb. Guitar is a Cordoba flamenco cutaway .

Great review and very beautifull playing!!

Sounds better than without it

It makes cheap guitar sounds better so it is enough amp for me. And for troubadours too.

I own one of these. It is very nice, easy to use. I play classical guitar in a small ensemble of other acoustic instruments. Without the amplification the guitar gets lost. IMHO one gets an amplified guitar sound, not just a louder guitar-like noise.

good review. let me suggest a little thing - put the amp towards your left side and like this you keep away the guitar body from the amp and will have less feedback. jazz guitar players always do that and it will work for classical as well.

Excellent review! Thank you. Would love to hear your thoughts/reviews on an affordable guitars with built-in pick up.

Nice I really like Roland amp's battery or otherwise powered, they are just fantastic little amp's awesome sound, great effects plus easy to handle and move around!! But are the model's and types of amp's still available or discontined in factory assembly. Please tell me that this model is still available on the market or in store an on-line purchases . Please ❤❤ let me know where in Canada, States or any music shop selling Roland amp's?

Thanks! I do think having easily replaceable batteries is a HUGE plus over the ones with a built in lithium ion battery. It is a little nuisance, but the life of your amp should be sooo much longer.

Thanks for the review! Sounds really nice and is much cheaper than AER or Schertler, will have to check one out.

This is a really nice demo thank you for sharing! I'm a new subscriber and enjoying your channel very much ..was wondering if you have content or maybe can share with us your experience/expertise on gigging? ... what music ( other than classical ) do you play? maybe tips/lessons or sheet music on songs you play for certain occasions ? finding gigs etc.. ? Anyway - love your channel thank you again!!

Sounds crisp and clear , how long would you get from a battery charge ?

Nice amp for acoustic/classical guitars. But compared to other amps in this category, it lacks a tweeter speaker.

I think the anti feedback also acts as a ground lift.

I've skipped some parts of the video so I'm not sure if you've mentioned that when working on batteries amp changes its power to 20W. So, you get 30W only when plugged via adapter.

deberias hacer una demostracion con microfono diamico

looking for a battery powered amp. realize it says "acoustic" but wondering how it would work with an electrics like a strat or gibson es-335. when i use the strat, it's a more treble country sound and the gibson is a mellower jazzy tone. thanks.

I wonder how it would sound with a jazz type guitar

Hi! Does it has delay effect. That is shown as "ambience" is it a delay; You are an excellent guitar player!

Can you use an electric guitar for home playing on it too ? Can you get some reverb on it ? I have an elect guitar and looking for something that would do well on clean tone for soul/rnb music

Hello! I have some questions. Have you compared this amp with Roland street cube ex? What type of pickup did you use and how does it sound with that kremona kna pickup?

I've been wondering where I can find a suitable amp for acoustic guitar, this is so cool. Thnx

Would it work with the SM7B?

Mine was clear for the first year.

I find on mine it's not a consistent sound.

I wonder if you could you tell me more details of piezo pickup you are using in this review?

Cool stuff ;-)

is it gonna work well with GODIN MULTIAC NYLON STRING GUITARS???

What piece are you playing at 12:51? It sounds very familiar

I don't play guitar can I do vocal looping w a pedal . Thank you

30 watts and stereo when it is plugged in, right? Only 20 watts and no stereo when on batteries, is that correct? And, you are playing it plugged into electrical outlet. How does it sound on batteries? I’m afraid this is not a very thorough review, only 50% done.

What if you plug an electric guitar in it?

This amp is characterized as an ‘acoustic guitar amp’. Are there amps out there that are marketed specifically for ‘Classical Guitar’? And if so, do their electronics differentiate them significantly from a generic acoustic guitar amp or is the sound about the same? Classical guitars have such a distinctly different sound compared to steel string acoustics I wonder if this is factored into amp design. The amp did sound good - a nice clean unprocessed sound - not ‘electronic’ sounding if that makes sense..

is it great for indoor/ outdoor event with 50people by using aux ch.? i wanna use it for playback the music in aux ch. tQ

What's the name of the piece you play at 9:35 and up?

Wish you had played it on battery power too ... it’s 30W plugged in ... 20W on batteries. Would have liked to hear a comparison. Only other thing I might ask for is a lower cost version without Chorus & looper.

Hi, do you think the AC33 is a good solution for small/medium gigs? Can it handle a small bar full of people talking (maybe with a solid guitar, a keyboard and a backing track in aux input)? Tks

Sir besides Roland which amp will you suggest me??

Is this little thing loud enough to play wine bars with lots of people.

song name 11:05 ???? ?????

Now I need one! Lol

Interesting. It is good when your guitar can be better heard. :-)

Title: classical guitar amp Box: acoustic guitar amp 🤔

Made in ...?

Thanks for the demonstration. I doesn t like the Roland. Acus, schertler, aer are real acoustic Amps.
