Good quality amp for acoustic guitar and vocals?

Lebarque · August 2018

As per the title. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

charlie chandlers have an 2nd hand AER at a VERY reasonable price which would more than do the job, or personally speaking i would buy a PA, sounds bigger and better and if needs be get a quality preamp/di for the guitar hope that helps

I’d say an FRFR monitor with at least two dual XLR/jack inputs and separate levels - with possibly a DI pedal for the acoustic

I had an acoustic image clarus 1 r which was fab ... should never have sold it .

Can't see that AER on their website @interstellar ???

The Marshall AS100D is actually pretty decent and can be had for very little, in relation to the new price. The AS50R/D is much less good though (but D is better than R).

Most other acoustic amps are just a little too small to do a decent job for both at the same time in my experience - although the old Trace Elliot TA100 is OK.

I've got an Acus One at the moment, but I haven't tried if for both at once

A powered PA cab or FRFR monitor would also work as Bridgehouse said, but it's likely to be a bit bigger and heavier, and you will need an outboard preamp for the guitar unless it's got a very comprehensive onboard system.

Ahh, shame. Many thanks for pointing it out.

Funnily enough my QSC k10.2 is smaller than the Marshall as100d, and 8kg lighter....!

What are you needing it for? Gigs or home/cafe type scenario?

Howdy, Stranger!
