Acoustic guitar amps

markanderic|838

Hi,

I kinda want this Laney Cub 12, but I also need an acoustic guitar amp. I can't really afford both, so I was wondering if it would sound okay if my acoustic guitar ran through the Laney. I doesn't need to sound great...

Thanks

In our tests, most impressive was the Fishman Loudbox Artist. We did a little best acoustic guitar amps rundown, maybe it'll help?

I think that's a good idea, I know I tend to pay buskers to turn their crappy street corner playing down if they have an amp.

Hi have a Shertler David and I it's really great. I did have a Crate many years ago...it developed a fault then this idiot who said he was an engineer said he could fix it. He didn't .... never saw it again tbh. It was a great amp, however it was BIG.

Yes, the amp cost a small fortune. He basically took it apart then left it in bits and of course was never in when I called...such is life. Anyway, if you have never tried the Shertler David, it's worth a listen :)

They don't sell them anywhere near my house unfortunately, but if one pops up I will give it a go
