At the top end the whizzer cone really made a big difference. It’s so easy for small amps to get overwhelmed by bass frequencies, but this Acoustasonic still put out some brilliant shimmer in the trebles, and it made a huge difference. On the other hand, the 40-Watt version is a bit bigger and heavier, so it’s more difficult to carry around. The woofer features a “Whizzer cone” designed to provide an enhanced high-frequency response; in other words, you won’t lose any of your favorite acoustic guitar‘s sound in the amplification process.

I have to admit; I wasn’t expecting the Acoustasonic 15 amp to sound anywhere near as good as it does. It’s made by Fender, so I expected quality, but wow! The tones produced are warm and rich, with none of the tinny overtones we’ve come to expect from portable mini-amps.Broadly speaking, this transparent performance places the acoustic amplifier at the mercy of your guitar; it’s only going to sound as good as your guitar. Where a great electric guitar amp can make a piece of firewood sound useable, the acoustic amp has to work with what it’s got. That is the rule of the thumb, and the platonic ideal is to own a great-sounding acoustic, right? When it was first launched in 2017, we believed that the Acoustic Singer Pro raised the bar when it comes to the best acoustic guitar amps. The latest addition to the series, the Acoustic Singer Live LT, was unveiled at NAMM 2020 and offers a stripped-down version of the Pro and Live formats. It has a smaller footprint, is more affordable, and while it does not have the onboard looper, vocal harmoniser or dual DI, it nonetheless has a suite of features that make it ideal for live performance. German acoustic amp titan AER manufactures a suite of incredible acoustic amps but for our money, and for the professional’s money, it’s the AER Compact 60 MkIV that takes the cake. It will bring out the best in your acoustic, delivering its tone amplified, untampered, and with all the mod-cons you need in a pro-quality two-channel acoustic amp. For the gigging guitarist and studio pro alike, this is the one. Used by the likes of Tommy Emmanuel, its small and portable but can fill a room.

Simple but practical EQ controls are very responsive to give you any tone you are looking for and the built-in chorus effect creates a lovely shimmer to the sound.

What's Included:

This amplifier is not battery-powered but uses a fixed AC cable which means that buskers need to find a power source before performing. In addition, there are some convenient functions missing here such as reverb effect, external FX loop, footswitch connection, etc. but these are not a must-have for a beginner. The Acoustasonic 15 is a portable solid-state amplifier equipped with a single six-inch woofer and weighs a mere 4.7 kilograms. It has a 15-watt power output, making it ideal for bedroom practice and small gigs. Instrument Channel: Volume, Bass, Middle, Treble, Chorus; Microphone Channel: Volume, Bass, Middle, Treble.

For more effective high-frequency response, the Acoustasonic 15 bears the unusual distinction of being the only Fender guitar amp to use a "whizzer" cone—a small supplementary speaker cone attached to the voice coil of the amps 6" speaker.But then there are a host of tone-shaping features to look out for that can save your tone on a day when, for example, you are playing with other musicians, and you need the EQ to brighten up your tone and help your fingerstyle pop through the mix. If you’ve got a smaller-bodied orchestra or parlour model then you could always dial in a little extra in the lower-mids to add depth to strummed chords. watts just isn’t very loud for anything other than bedroom guitarists or buskers. Anything else will require additional amplification. Speaker Description: 6 inch Special Design full-range speaker with whizzer cone for enhanced high-frequency response. Let’s cut straight to who this isn’t for first. It certainly isn’t for the types of guitarists who like to play big and loud, and it definitely isn’t for those that want to get buried into onboard effects before even strumming a chord. A handsome brown and wheat-colored cabinet gives this portable amp a cool vintage vibe that promises rich, warm tones. The cabinet is made from 5-ply plywood that’s lightweight yet incredibly sturdy. It is wrapped in a brown textured vinyl covering to give it that polished retro look that will surely make heads turn.
