Could use any Acoustic Amp help you folks have !!!

Well I tell you Tony, you've chosen wisely.

Either of those will do the job for you.  Naturally Fender has all that reputation behind them and they do turn out a fine product, but personally I like the Behringer equipment I have used..... for the bucks a better deal in my mind.  Behringer is either using Bulgara or Jensen speakers depending on the amp and both are fine.  Now I do love the tube sound of my old Fender amp, but go to the Bhringer more often than not for all the effects and not having to wait for the darn thing to warm up before it starts screaming.

Best thing would be to grab your guitar and wander down to your local dealers and spend a little time playing through each of them , then make your decision.

Take Care;

Thanks Doug and AccoustikNoyz,

As acoustic amps are very new to me, I really do appreciate the information and you both have been most helpful. Thanks for the welcome, it's good to be here.

Cheers,

Tony

Thanks henry,

I actually checked out a good 20 minute youtube video on the Marshall AS50D Soloist Acoustic Amp awhile back.  It seemed like a really nice amp but I can't  recall the major differences; besides an increase in wattage to the others I am looking at ? Is it really that of a much higher quality amp in your opinion ?

I agree with Doug. Go test 'em out and see which you like best. I have the Behringer ACX450. I don't play out anywhere so I can't give any advice on that, but I do like the sound and I got it cheaper used so that sealed the deal for me.

Hello tony, I weny through the same hassles as you about 4 years ago (before I found Chordie). I settled on an Ibanez Troubador TA 35 and I am very happy with the amp. Google this amp and read the features, I think the TA35 will suit your needs and your pocket well.

Ibanez make a troubadour 35w acoustic which is well worth looking at. It also has a mike input.

Future,  I'm confused.  Why do you need an acoustic amp for home use?  Acoustic guitars were designed for home use without amplification. Am I missing something? You say you need at least 30 watts.  There is a huge difference between 30 watts solid state and 30 watts tube. My main amp is a 30 watt tube amp and it is way too loud for the house.  It is way too loud for most of the bars that I play in. Sorry if I sound critical, I'm just trying to zoom in on what you really need.

I've got an 'acoustic' brand AG60 from Guitar Center.  The guy there said it's their house brand.  It's the only one that I saw that allowed two XLR or two 1/4" jacks per channel and had two channels.  So it would be possible for two people each with a guitar to plug in and all be amplified.  This saved me a ton of money buying powered speakers to run off my mixer board because it allows all the amplification plug-ins that I need.  The quality of the sound is..... OK.
