Transparent and strong
This amp is relatively light and give out what you put in.
If you use a nice acoustic guitar pickup it will sound a nice acoustic guitar. If you use a bad pickup it will sound like a bad pickup. This amp is honest and transparent.
I tried with a bad old pickup into a cheap guitar and it sounded honest. That actually wasnt good for my current set-up. I need that bad guitar to sound good, so I'll continue to run it into my electric guitar amp.
Vocals sound great through this amp. It has phantom power for your mic. Very nice. And the FX sound decent on voice. I tried with a Neumann km105 and it sounded really suprisingly clear and good. It sounded like the mic!
There is a decent eq section and a bunch of FX that can be individually set per channel.
It's relatively light and the handle is made smart so it's easy to carry.
*If you're looking for a transparent acoustic amp that gives out when you put in, has phantom power, FX, EQ and is well thought out, this is a great option.
Not a fan
I've had this amplifier for about a year and I must say that I'm not a fan. It sounds okay, lots of feedback issues even with the notch feature, and an annoying hiss that is always audible.
