I love this amp
I just got my AS50D via UPS today. Where do I start? I am playing a Taylor 114ce thru this amp and it sounds fantastic. The twin 8" speakers project well without distorting the natural sound of the guitar. Plenty of volume for a 50 watt amp. That being said, watts aren't everything. I have another marshall amp (mg100hdfx w/mg412a cab)and its a good half stack, don't get me wrong, however, if I had to choose between my 100 watt half stack and my new AS50D I would get rid of the stack in a heart beat. I'm talking about over-all quality comparitively. The AS50D amp has two channels with independent volume and high/low EQ. I have heard some criticism that there is no midle EQ...not really a big deal. I have had no trouble at all finding perfect balance in tone so take that with a grain of salt. In addition to the two jack inputs, there is a mic input on channel two that can be used simultaneously with the guitar...What an amazing feature. I can hardly verbalize how big of a problem this solves for the small-gig-solo-guy. I have been playing and singing thru this amp all day and it is amazing. Guitar and vocals blend very, very well. Even the effects are good. Just chorous and reverb, but what more do you need when playing acoustic? If you are an effects nut, no problem, there is an effects loop on board in the back so you can hook up whatever you think you need. Over all, this is a straight forward, easy-to-opperate amp. Sounds good, looks good, practical, versatile, cost effective. Unless you are going to be playing in a huge auditorium (and I do mean huge) 50 watts will do just fine, so don't bite the hype hook and get reeled into the 100 watt unless you really need it. Word to the wise. Awesome amp!

I purchased this amp after reading many reviews and being impressed with the overall sound quality from a 50W amp. The first time I used this amp for a gig, 2 of the gold caps on the adjustment knobs fell off in the back of my car and soon realized that 7 of them where not put on with any type of adhesive and could easily fall off. But this was minor compared to what I would soon find. I decided to look more closely at the various components and removed the back cover of the cabinet. What I found was two unmarked 8" speakers and nothing to identify them as Celestion as advertised by Marshall. I contacted Celestion directly and after sharing pictures of the product ID tag on the magnets and the speaker chassis shape, this was their response: Hi Gary - From the tag panel and chassis shape, I'd have to say it's unlikely to be one of ours.

Simply The Best.

I play a Guild dreadnaught which is the finest acoustic guitar I've ever owned. I wanted an acoustic amp that could faithfully project the full-bodied tone that Guilds are known for. After checking out ALL the options, I landed where I knew I would, with yet another Marshall. The others were just too boxy and/or too treble-y for my needs. They look and sound like toys compared to the AS50D. That being said, this AS50D is a tone cannon! The two 8" speakers really thump. Bold and powerful yet clear and articulate. I set my guitar's EQ on full, turn the amp's Bass to 10 o'clock. Treble about 3 o'clock and it makes my Guild sound like a Guild. A full spectrum of sound that really sings. Bass is full and commanding without being overbearing or stifling. Trebles are clear, smooth and ringing. Adding just a touch of Chorus and Reverb gives it a nice shimmer. Effects are top-notch. I've owned a few Marshalls for electric guitar (still do) but was willing to look at other brands for the right acoustic amp. Should have known that I would end up with the Marshall. Always was, and still is, the best.
A great little amp. LOUD and great tone.

First of all the amp is absolutely beautiful. The options for having a microphone are just awesome too. The thing that got me the most was how beautiful the chorus sounded. It almost sounds like a 12 string guitar when you equalized properly. Also the phase and feedback suppressor let you play at a much louder volume than any fender acoustic amp I ever played.I was a bit leery about Marshall acoustic amplifiers but this one has absolutely sold me
I would recommend this amp again and again.

Excellent upgrade from my Fender Acoustic 100. After playing back and forth between the two for a week end I put the Fender on consignment at a local shop that sells used gear. Plenty of power, very good sound quality, warm, clean. Very natural if you don't use the chorus and reverb, but judicious use of them gives a natural sound, but a little more texture. Especially superior to the Fender with high notes. I liked the Fender, it's a good amp, but after trying this one out, I was sold on it. Both my guitars, a Fender PMTE, flat top with built in pickup and preamp and a 1949 Gibson L4-C (second owner since 1960) with a Kent Armstrong slimbucker, sound great through it. The Marshall is heavier than the Fender amp, but not enough to concern me.

This amp is very easy to use and understand you don't have to be a sound engineer to set this up in the sweet spot for your style of play. It gives you (the guitarist) outstanding control l personal love the clean smooth sounds and the depth you can get from this amp.
This is a 5 star quality product!

I have played for a little over 50 years now, but only to entertain myself. My only regret is that I waited so long to get this amplifier. For me, it is perfect. I would buy it again and I would recommend it to any acoustic guitar player.
