Big thanks... nobody ever includes vocals in their acoustic amp reviews yet that's such a big part of the acoustic guitar in so many cases.

[WiIIy_Wonka]

i really like how thomann is such a genuine company. they honestly say that the fishman amp is better for performing than the harley benton, instead of just saying buy the harley benton, it's the best amp out there.

Valeria… what a beautiful voice. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

[Neil-Aspinall]

Simple answer is you do not. Live you plug into the DI box and get your sound from the vocal monitors end of story. In fact as a live engineer and some body turned with one of these amps I would just think it was a pain in the poi because undoubtedly they would want it louder than it needed to be.

Roland AC-33 Another great option and it has a looper and built in effects.

First things first, I just subscribed. Secondly, I don't know enough to comment on any amp. My guitar journey began yesterday. I bought and received from Amazon BCP 41 inch cut-away acousting beginner's kit. Two sets of metal strings, an Allen key, pics, a capo, cleaning cloth, gig bag w backpack straps, electronic tuner, cleaning cloth, cable for amp, built-in preamp and instructions. I'm 70, have always loved guitar sounds, soooop, I pulled the trigger 2 days ago during one of those "flash sales", and got my dream purchase for $69.99, free shipping, down from $99.00. ALL THAT said, I need help, instruction and I've been looking at a "pocket-amp". Can you guys break down pocket-amps? Thanks.

The Beatles, in their early days, had Gibson acoustic guitars that they plugged into VOX AC30 amplifiers. Nobody ever talks about that.

[jimharley]

Can i use these amps for microphone aswell as acoustic ? If there is no PA

[tsangpa]

Man which model is that Yamaha??
It's so beautiful.

[musiktrio]

The amps did not reproduce the guitars in a good way, there must be a connection between the quality of the guitar and the amps - also at the price level

[peterolsen]

If you have an expensive guitar buy an expensive amp, these shown amps are terrible. A quality guitar + cheap amp does not provide quality in the end

[rusty]

Also don’t forget a lot of the sound comes from the pickup in the guitar. I hate the way my Taylor sounds with the es2.

[jimcamp]

Try a wireless system, benefits of unplugged while being plugged-in.

[jimcamp]

So these appear to be closed back combos, why wouldn't an acoustic amp be open back ? Are there any open back combos that can be heard. With my Applause, I prefer the open back because it fills the room ambiently with sound out the front & back. For my electric guitars, I prefer a directional closed back speaker.

when would use an amplifier... any time you would like to amplify your sound

[kyoung]

What was the last song that dude played on the fishman amp sorry new to guitar

[PooNinja]

:13 because louder is better. Maybe showcase some add-on acoustic pickups for standard acoustics. Both amps in this sounded great just have Kris clean the dust out of the Fishman I guess the wind was heavy or something????

[lawrencerasmus]

You should listen to your video, the fishman is too Brite in the mid, that 2nd, 3rd string dominate and b always sounds out of tune

[richardmckrell]

Is there a way to get an amplified acoustic rock sound? Something really loud, pounding with feedback.
