Blackstar Sonnett 120 (maybe the 60...)

Jetfire · September 2022

For the umpteenth time, I am looking at doing yet another acoustic duo.. So its another excuse to buy gear!

Is anyone using a Blackstar Sonnett 120 for guitar and vocal as a main PA system? Just curious around the sound and gigability (venue dependant obviously)

A bandmate bought a Sonnet last year to replace a tired AER Compact. It's very good indeed. I think it's the 120 Watt model. If I didn't already have a Fishman Mini I'd definitely get one.

A lovely little feature is the built in tilt-back stand.

Good to know! Is it just for his acoustic or does he put vocals into it too?

I'm also very interested in this amp but this thread is probably a bit too late for me.
I was seriously considering 1 of these about 18 months ago ( as a gigging solo acoustic guitarist/ vocalist) but as there weren't many real life reviews at the time, I opted for a small P.A instead.
I've tried a few acoustic amps and while some are very decent on the guitar side, I still haven't heard one that's anywhere near P.A quality with vocals.
I'd be interested to know how the Sonnet fares with vocals

I have the 120. I really like it. Having XLR inputs for both channels and the channel/mix XLR outs makes it more flexible than the 60.

I use mine with the guitar going via a Baggs Session DI into the amp via balanced XLR, and a dynamic mic for vocals. Just me and the guitar.

If you have specific questions I’m happy to answer them. Please tag so I don’t miss it!

Howdy, Stranger!
