Acoustic Guitar Amps

[john]

Hey

Anyone got any recommendations for a good acoustic guitar amp? Something light, portable, great sound and if possible cheap!

Cheers

John

John, this is probably different from what you want, but I'm going to buy an American made amp called Centaur. It's a mini PA...female mic input, one instrument channel, one line in channel. I know little about amps; am getting this as an affordable playing out companion. It sounds good to my ears. It is 125 watts (300 for input?), 15" (?) horn w/ a tweeter (wrong word, some other similiar word is used now). It's 400.00 used. They let me try it for 3 days at home.

Spoke to cousin Bruce about this brand recently and he hadn't heard of it, though.

For each musical channel (one mic, one 1/4 " jack) there's a built in reverb and low, mid and hi tone control + of course, separate volume controls. It's somewhere between 15-25 pounds. There's a newer Centaur model, 800.00, a tiny cube only 6 pounds.

That'll be pounds in WEIGHT, John, not in money!

I tried an AER acoustic amp combo thingy last year. It was about 400 pounds (money, not weight). It was great but not cheap, obviously. I didn't buy it as it was the guitar I was interested in. You generally get what you pay for though.
