Thank you for posting this! For quite a while I've been hoping that you would post some videos about amps. In a previous video Paul mentioned that he does a demo where he lets a customer listen to a system, then he removes the subwoofer, and apparently the difference is very dramatic. I would love to see that demo in a video.
A dozen years ago I bought the SR Technologies Jam 150 with a wood cabinet. It was and still is amazing. Schertler has since bought that company and has marketed those designs under their name. I’ve found that my high end acoustics with K&K Western Mini pickups (soundboard transducers) sound amazing through mine. If you have a guitar there with those pickups, you should try it out. I think you’ll be blown away.
Wow! So much more detail than my Fishman Loudbox. I wonder what my Banner 1942 J-45 would sound like. My question is how loud can it get without distortion? In other words, would it be loud enough for the groups I play for (35-80 in a living room setting)? Also, will you be carrying these regularly? Thanks, Paul and Quinton.
Thanks for the demo. How does the amp work with electric guitar? Historically the Standel amps were more Hi-Fi design and were great for electric guitar.
They are great-sounding amps, but as far as value, unless you're a super purist on acoustic sound, you have better options. Lots now have rechargeable batteries, built-in loopers and bluetooth, like the Fender Junior Go, Boss Acoustic Singer Pro and the NuX Stageman 80, which also sound great. You also have the all-time best Bose S1 Pro.
Sounds really good. I wonder what the power rating is and what size venue this is appropriate for? I would guess it will rival and exceed a Fishman Loudbox Artist?
@@gosman949 I've tried many, but the Fishman Matrix Blend is the best I've used. Quinton uses the K & K Trinity. Both systems combine mics with piezos to give a natural sound.
It is a great sounding acoustic amp. I just couldn't afford $1500 for it. I'll stick with my fishman loud-box mini. I know that amp will work very well with my martin d18 that I have had a fishman matrix blended mike pickup installed.
I have the Schertler Jam 100 and it's a fine amp but I don't rate it that much greater than my Fender acoustic junior or my Roland AC 60 or 90. Mine has 4 channels which is probably it's best feature and the sound is clear and strong. I did however have to replace the faulty Sica Woofer and warranty would only cover it if I shipped it to Florida to the service center. They wouldn't let me send just the speaker alone. I opted to replace it with a superior Eminence speaker and it's far better than the Sica without the distortion artifact in it's bass tone.
