Great to see an acoustic amp review that gives as much emphasis to the vocals as to the guitar. Good work all.

@moesaurenman4734 4 года назад

really really great video comparing all these amps. Thank you so much to the singer as well as whoever decided to include her in the demo. Really hard to find videos demoing these amps with a musician playing and singing.

Once a friend performed in a pub with the fender. I was so amazed 'bout the quality and volume of this amp, loved it.

Marshall AS50D for me. Had mine for a few years and couldn’t be happier with it. Everything I need for my playing needs.

@MustafaBaabad 2 месяца назад

Yes, I think it sounds the best too. But the weight seems quite significant.

@tvjer1 2 года назад

I have the Marshall AS-50D. It is very versatile, but flat sounding. I also have a Hartke AC150, which sounds absolutely fantastic. Only issue is it's big & heavy. If you ever come across one for sale, I strongly recommend giving it an audition.

Best acoustic amp demo online for the small venue gigging musician due to the addition of the vocal demo. Many demos are of amp only with no idea how the vocals sound. Thank you so much for going the extra mile or kilometer in your case!!

I have a Traynor Acoustic Master Custom YS1084. At the time I bought it, it smoked all the competition out there feature and tone-wise. It does not have USB, Bluetooth or tuner, but has everything else I need and more features than most of those shown here.

@ayoungethan 2 года назад

yeah i don't know why the Traynors don't have wider recognition, they are great

@MiloDRough 2 года назад

Trick for Orange acoustic crash is to get 10x 2,5 mAh power accumlators in form of AA batteries, and the amp can run for about 18h on full volume. Im using now guitar with passive magnetic pickup so the time went down to about 10-12h, but with a good active piezzo system it was up to 23h.

@w.wrightjackson8317 4 года назад

yes I love my Boss Acoustic Singer amp. great sound, may have to run it through a cabinet in big area you may be playing in..great investment for home and can be made to use in bigger auditorium

@jamiejupiter4503 Год назад

I own the Marshall. It has a fabulous warm tone. A huge plus for me is that it's so easy to dial in a tone; a lot of acoustic amps have too many knobs (mid- sweeps etc). So little twiddling is needed with the Marshall!

@sandystrait3878 10 месяцев назад

I like the Warmth of the Marshall but I'm looking for the independent control of the Fender. The Fender didn't sound amazing in this demo but I have played with one in the local guitar store and it was quite nice. Weirdly enough the salespersons I've spoken to alway favor the Fishman and seem to dismiss the Fender Marshall and Boss. ?

@Alan-bw5ec 4 года назад

Although I live in Canada I always come to these folks site as they are most professional in their presentations. Well rounded in every aspect of features and benefits. It was an added bonus with the young lady playing her songs to give even a better feel for what one can expect from each of the models shown. They even surpassed Yamaha because whenever Yamaha show the THR lineup, they never show the THR5A but rather the THR5 which is for electric guitars and does not accentuate the acoustic features. Great demos, as usual!

@w.wrightjackson8317 4 года назад

Fed X is delivering the Boss Acoustic Singer Live Acoustic Guitar Amplifier to me today. I looked at probably all amps on this video can't remember cause I looked at so many. Have several electric guitar amps but only one small Frontman Fender for acoustic and I wanted a built in loop so I wouldn't have so much to deal with. Will let you know later how it comes out. Also have the FS5L coming with it. Keep pickin and grinnin from Nashville, Tn. God bless

@MoreThanDanny 4 года назад

We have the 60 and love it. Built in looper is very! basic but will do for simple things. With 2 mics into the vocal Channel and a big bassy acoustic it sounds amazing. Hope your enjoying it.

@paulstubbs4487 2 года назад

I tried loads and even ordered a Fishman Loudbox which went back. Best by far I found was an Acus 1-6 which was way ahead of the rest even the much revered AER60. I suspect PMT don't sell the Acus so it's "their" best 7 not "the" best 7.

@zoundsic 4 года назад

You need to listen to reverbs on amps these days very carefully or you'll not get a professionally acceptable sound, Lots of pretty below par digital effects about since they replaced springs. If you use it for recording in any way Boss singer sounds the biz. Also a well thought out and well built bit of kit. You can pay more but why? You can pay less but you'll regret it if your serious about your sound.

@ParaBellum2024 4 года назад

This is a great video, as you've focused on the amps' all-round capabilities, rather than just plugging acoustic guitars in. To my ears, the Boss and Ashdown amps are the best. The AER is slightly thin sounding, possibly because it's just so small. Also, it would have been good to see Fishman Loudbox amps in this review.

@GaylordBonnafous 4 года назад

The best are AER Alpha Plus, and Boss Acoustic Singer Pro and Orange Acoustic Crush 30. Also, there is one not reviewed here but even better, in the same price range (or a bit more expensive): Hughes and Kettner Era wood .

@tinpea 2 года назад

Great video and performance, but I benefit from hearing the same songs played to gauge the differences between the amps. I guess this video wasn't really comparing them but maybe they will be for the next one!

@Bradds68 3 года назад

@user-gv3jq1nn2d 7 месяцев назад

My brother never had a acoustic or guitar amp before so i ordered the A40 Acoustic amp model and good thing my brother is a technical computer settings geek because there are a lot of parameters to setup if you want your personal tone setting and not use presets. It has a 8" speaker but reviewers say it lacks the deep bass some desire which works best in his apartment. The good sound sold me but it can be beat with amps priced well over the $249.00 i paid . The reverbs are good and but i love a room filling sound of a delay that is onboard with flanger & chorus . I have only used tube amps myself the last 20 years but for acoustic i love the ambient tones chorus gives up. The AER acoustic amps are for Pro Baskers or going to the PA and sound is perfect as can be. I hate the digital micro switches even $ 1500.00 amps have because the minute contacts get dusty and fail to work. I want a amp that last , tube amps i have do not use micro switches but some have relays with small contacts and those can & do fail ! You must complete the circuit with good contacts everywhere or problems soon occur.

@rhugh02 2 года назад

Cool demos good job!

@marceloseventies 4 года назад

After testing and having several specific amplifiers for acoustic instruments, I can say that absolutely none of them answered me. In addition to being very expensive, they color the sound too much and always sound sterile to me. Currently, I am putting my Martins and Blueridges in a great little PA, the JBL Eon 210p. I pass the instruments, first, through Radial ToneBone PZ Pre and Yamaha THR-10 (to extract and add his excellent effects on the set). Result: firm tones, simple and effective equalization, excellent projection and much, much more return than the so-called guitar amplifiers. Just my opinion, and I've been fighting for 15 years to find the least artificial sounds possible when I need to amplify my acoustics.

@kkdeveauxgue2784 4 года назад

Straight through PA hmmmm that's old school, I'd go with a amp then project out to a PA sounds like your hooked on your own sound,you should branch out,if your that good

@kkdeveauxgue2784 4 года назад

It's just too......much hooking things up,sounds like your following someone instead of experimenting

@marceloseventies 4 года назад

I don't think much of a connection, no. First, because the JBL is very portable, then because the Radial is excellent and also very light. As for the little Yamaha THR-10, KNOWING TO USE, it pays off, and a lot. Finally, it is a setup that suits me much better than any specific amplifier for acoustics, with much, much more natural tones. Electrifying is a necessary evil, that each one seeks the sounds that please them the most. For that, of course, you need to have tested a lot and, above all, to know what you want. Hug!

@kkdeveauxgue2784 4 года назад

@@marceloseventies WoW you would know better than me that hits point,so you got a tiny Radial (Yamaha) That sounds innovative, Maybe I'm just hooked on my Boss Acoustic live 60 watt,I'm getting that Eon too for $449.00 w/stands plus I gotta get a outside battery charger unit,(playing outside

@marceloseventies 4 года назад

@@kkdeveauxgue2784. The Radial PZ Pré is one thing, the Yamaha THR10 is another ... how cool you get the Eon, I think you'll like it a lot! But I really think it's essential to use some preamp before him. Another thing I love about the JBL Eon 210p is the ease of connecting condenser microphones. At even relatively high volumes, I easily bypass the feedback, and the equalization works beautifully. Previously, when I tried to mike the acoustics on my biggest PA - Yamaha EMX312 SC + Yamaha Club Series 15 'pair of speakers - the disaster was obvious ... anyway, make the most of your new Eon ;-)

I own the Marshall AS-50D and a Laney A-Duo. The Marshall has an excellent chorus but otherwise the Laney is a far better amplifier. The sound is simply clearer. Next to it, the Marshall sounds a bit like a big old valve radio. So I put the guitar and vocal through the Laney and use the Marshall for a Mel9 unit.

@Squeezum 3 года назад

I LOVE Laney amps! I have the Laney Lionheart 5 watt amp and the Laney Lionheart 20 watt amp with two Lionheart 12x2 cabinets. The only issues I have with Laney is their distributors in the States are hard to get in contact with and have very limited access to gear and accessories. The other issue is they are no longer hand made in Britain. They're all Chinese made and unfortunately the quality shows. If you can get a preowned, Made In Britain, Laney amp, combo, or cabinet, get it if it's a good deal. I'd pass if it says Made In China.
