Behringer ACX900 Ultracoustic 90-Watt Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You could spend some serious money on an acoustic amp ... but depending on your needs, this amp is an exellent value ... it performs as good or better than lots of amps 3 times it's price ... Behringer makes really high quality products for much less money than most products in the same class ... between me and my sons, we own several Behringer products and have always been pleased with the quality ...
This amp has 2 channels and multi band EQ on each ... 1/4 inch on one channel and XLR on the other ... I have been able to dial in really good sound for multiple acoustic gutiars and even for a vocal mic (although you might need a pre-amp for the mic for optimum performance) ... it also has outputs to go to a PA and I have been pleased with the results when I've used it as a monitor and run it to a mixing board for live performances .. it has 90 watts which is plenty of power for small venues or for use as a monitor (lots of amps with less power are way more expensive) ... look at the features on this amp and then compare them to other amps and you'll see you get more for your money with this one ...
Two reaons this amp does not get 5 stars. One is that the built-in effects are really below average IMO ... reverb is just OK and everything else just doesn't do it ... if you are just looking for a good acoustic, non-effected sound (or if you want to use your own external effects) you should not be dissapointed ... the other is the knobs/dials are plastic and look like they may not hold up as well as ones which are more ruggedly made ...
So if you are looking for a great value for a basic acoustic amp, you should be satisfied with the ACX900 ...

Crate CA120DG Durango Acoustic Guitar Amplifier - 120 Watts RMS, Automatic Feedback Elimination Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This amplifier sounds amazing with my acoustic guitar, and like the other reviewer stated, it is really nice to have two low-z (balanced) inputs and two high-z (unbalanced) inputs. It even has a balanced output on the back, and the rca inputs are a sweet feature.
The DSP Effects are on both channels and can even have different effects on the fly. Just use the included three switch pedal and check out the instruction manual to learn how to use different effects for each channel.
The tweeter cut is a really nice feature, allowing you to decide how much of the high fidelity tweeter you want in the mix with the 12" woofer.
Other than all the great technical aspects of the amp, I really like the organic look of it, and I got a really nice surprise when I realized that there is a "kickstand" on the bottom of the cabinet that allows you to angle the amp upward. That was a really cool, unexpected feature.
If you play acoustic, and you want to hear your guitar come ALIVE, and you want an amp that will accurately reproduce the bass tones of your guitar along with clean, accurate vocals and a great effects system... well, here it is. I couldn't recommend it more. CRATE!

When you need to send the perfect acoustic signal to the front-of-house mixer, the Crate CA120DG can get you there in style. With features like XLR & 1/4" balanced line out (with Level control and ground lift), Tweeter Level control, Effects Loop, and footswitch accessible Reverb/Effects and Chorus switching, it's easy to see why the Crate CA120DG is the leader in its class.
Designed for the performing artist, CA120DG's 120 watt power amp drives the internal 12" polypropylene woofer/piezo tweeter combination to outstanding volume levels, providing both low end punch and superb top-end fidelity. And since volume without tone just doesn't cut it, the CA120DG provides two separate channels, each with its own gain, EQ, and reverb/effects controls. Crate's built-in feedback filters make feedback a thing of the past, effectively killing feedback without sacrificing sound quality. We've even included the footswitch for hands-free operation of the feedback filters.

The CA120DG also features Crate's stunning DSP effects, including short and medium Slapback Delays, Echo, Chorus, Rotary Speaker, Chorus (with Hall Reverb), and two distinct Reverb modes. These effects were designed specifically for use with acoustic instruments and vocals.

Whether you need the perfect acoustic guitar amp, or a self-contained PA system with digital effects and feedback control, the Crate CA120DG is all about tone, control, and flexibility.

Why is it so hard to amplify an acoustic guitar? By its very nature, an acoustic instrument requires lots of feedback control, especially when it's asked to compete with drums and a stage full of rockers. And although most amps can effectively control feedback, they often do so by severely sacrificing tone for volume.

Our CA Series amps give you all the tone and features necessary to put your acoustic sound on top of the mix, whether you're soloing at the Opry or strummin' at the coffeehouse. With its unparalleled balance of clarity, power, natural tone, and intuitive controls, the Crate Acoustic Series remains our most widely endorsed amp line. Try one and you'll see why.

Marshall AS50D Acoustic Guitar Amplifier (2x8 inch, 50 watts) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have owned a Marshall AS50R (same amp-earlier generation) acoustic amp for several years and gig professionally with it....that is when it works. We have had ongoing problems with this amp and it has failed us several times while ON STAGE . It has been in the shop several times (and even back to the Marshall company where it was "repaired" and we were charged for shipping). It still only works intermittently and all attempts to fix it have failed. We were told by a repair technician that sub-standard soldering is an endemic problem with the newer Marshall amps. All I know is that we are very frustrated and disappointed with this unreliable amp.

The Marshall AS50D is New for 2007 , incredibly expressive and feature-loaded with sound quality that will impress all. If you though that Marshall caters only to metal heads and rockers, this new amp will change all that. The AS50D features two 8-inch woofers to provide plenty of volume and round bodied tone when needed. Its newly-designed polydome tweeter brings crystal clear presence to any performance. The AS50D provides a phantom-powered XLR microphone input for use with condenser microphones, as well as stereo RCA phono inputs for connecting MP3 players, drum machines and many any other line level electronic devices. It comes standard with an anti-feedback notch filter, channel assignable chorus, digital reverb, effects loop and D.I. output. AmericanMusical.com is an authorized dealer of Marshall products.

Crate CA6110DG Gunnison Acoustic Guitar Amplifier, 60 Watts RMS, Automatic Feedback Elimination Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned this amp for about three months and love it. It can be found for a great price if you look around. It has a lot of very nice features, sounds great, and is a very good value. I play a variety of acoustic guitars and all sound nice. The DSP effects are good - if you need more or better just get a pro pedal. I played my vintage Sears Silvertone 1448 through it and the sound was amazing. I've only run it at light to moderate sound levels so I don't know how well it handles full volume.
The only thing I don't like is the location of the panel. Its on top but a bit hard to tweak - especially when it is tilted. The included foot switch is nice (and has a very long cable).
As with all amps or musical gear you'll want to play before you buy as everyone's idea of good or desired tone varies and is quite subjective. I found mine in a local music shop and jammed on it a while before purchase.
In conclusion - a very nice amp for a great street price.
