Acoustic AG60 60W 2x8 Acoustic Guitar Combo Amp Black

I love it!

The AG60 does excactly what it's supposed to do and very well. Of the several acoustic amps I tried this was the most natural sound to my ear and the room effects far exceed expectation. The tilt back design as well as control layout/function is simple and a big plus as well as the timber of the vocal sound. The only minus I'd include is that it's heavy. But I believe the extra weight of the larger cabinet lends itself to added tonal balance as does the use of two 8 inch speakers as opposed to one. If weight is a factor go with the smaller version if you must. Also exceeding expectation was salesman Alan at the Rockvillle Md. store. The first AG60 I got quickly developed the problem of choking off the sound after a few minutes of play. He was quick to offer assistance if I wanted to switch out to another amp making several suggestions and advice but agreed with me that my original choice was sound even if the amp had a problem. I should add that even prior to getting the first AG60 I had gotten another brand (F----r) and then after some time was not at all happy with it. Allan at GC was very efficient at helping me switch out to the AG60 instead of simply swapping to the same make.

This amp is very versatile, it can be used as a regular amp, a mini PA or as a stage monitor when used with an actual PA. 4 inputs for any combination of 4 instruments or mics with 4 separate volumes is really great to have for instruments that need to be mic'd. Only partial problem is there is only 2 eq's, it hasnt been much of an issue for me though. The sound is a very clean acoustic sound. Well worth the money for this amp

The AG60 is a top quality amp that will do the job. When Acoustic calls it a "performance system" they mean just that. My rig is a Jerry Douglas Dobro thru a Fishman Aura Spectrum Di to the amp plus a Nady large diaphram condenser mic thru an ART Tube MP box to the other channel of the AG60. This amp will replace an entire Pa system, at least for smaller shows. The tone, the volume (with headroom to spare)and the reverbs are outstanding. I am an older musician and have the need for smaller and better equipment to do my shows with and this amp fills that bill! I would also like to say how helpful the folks at Guitar Center in Cincinnati are, thanks Nolan!

The amp is great period. It gets loud and sounds great. The vocals really aren't that bad and are just fine if you're just looking to practice. The peak light comes on the deeper the sound is. Can be avoided somewhat by dropping your low and raising your mid. I like this sound anyway. I also, play my electric through this and by itself it doesn't sound that great, but if you throw in a distortion pedal it actually does sound fairly decent. I plug in two acoustics and two mics and it can handle everything easily and it is super easy to level out the volume on each instrument and mic as they all have separate volume knobs. The guitars and mics will have the same eq's and effects applied to them as the two channels each have two inputs. The effects are nice for messing around although the majority of them are really just different reverbs. The repeat echo is very nice and I haven't been able to duplicate it with any of my pedals. Don't be cheap, buy a sound hole cover It will drastically cut back the feedback and keep the amp from peaking as easily.

I bought this amp for use with my Martin electric acoustic. I almost bought the Fishman Loudbox but the the Guitar Center salesman suggested this amp instead. I have to say I am glad I took his advice. At first I was concerned about how much sound I would get out of a pair of 8 inch speakers at 60 watts but this concern was quickly overcome once I plugged in and started to play. Acoustic makes a similar amp at 120 watts but this is plenty of power for my needs. It will easily satisfy the needs for most small venues. The Acoustic AG60 has four inputs on two channels. It has a variety of digital effects that you select via a labeled knob. The selected effect is for both channels but each channel has a separate level knob so you can control the amount of effect individually. I really do not use this feature since I adjust the effects from the instrument itself but I'm sure I will experiment with it in the future. As mentioned previously, this amp has four inputs which can be either a 1/4" jack or XLR connector. That is really neat since you can have a pair of musicians each with a guitar and a mic on their own channel OR you can connect up to 4 instruments at one time (this is what I plan on doing.) Each input has a separate volume knob so each instrument/mic can be set as needed. There is also a set of equalizer controls for each channel... low, mid (sweepable from from 500-1200Hz), and high. I must say that I just set each of these into the halfway position and use that. So far so good. If you look at the picture, you will notice that there are four rubber pads on the bottom. This is so you can stand it up or tilt it back. I found that in the upright position it seemed a little unstable and felt more comfortable with it in the tilted position. The last thing I want is for equipment to shift position while playing. Overall this is an outstanding amp. I've had it for about 4 months now and had NO PROBLEMS. It is light weight and easy to use. The output is clear and there is no annoying hiss or other pesky unwanted noise. I've had other solid state amps and it seems they would generate noise of some type but not with this amp. I am very pleased.
