Description

Introducing the Marshall AS50D, a versatile and portable amplifier that promises to deliver the ultimate acoustic experience. This isn't your typical Marshall, it's not designed solely for the hard rockers or blues enthusiasts - but every musician who appreciates a rich, authentic sound.

The high-quality digital effects section features an adjustable Chorus, which can be assigned to either or both channels, and a Reverb, providing you with endless possibilities for sound customization.

Worried about feedback when amplifying acoustic instruments? The AS50D has equipped with anti-feedback controls, including a Phase switch and a frequency-controllable Notch Filter, to ensure that your sound is always clear, not matter what instrument you play.

Key Features:

  • Two channels with independent volume and tone controls
  • High impedance input on Channel 1, suitable for piezo or magnetic pickups

Critic Reviews

Marshall AS50D Soloist Amp

guitarinteractivemagazine.com

The Marshall AS50D Soloist Amp impresses with its versatility and affordability, making it a top choice for electro-acoustic players. Its 50-watt power, dual channels, reverb, and chorus effects offer a robust sound, while the anti-feedback and phase control ensure smooth performances. Although it lacks compression, the amp's features and price make it a 'no-brainer' for musicians who need a reliable, portable option. Just remember—it's only as good as the guitar plugged into it, so don't expect miracles from subpar instruments. Overall, a commendable effort by Marshall for a fantastic price.

Wonderful sound

This amp is a must have for the singer- songwriter looking to play small venues. It has two channels, one for the mic and one for guitar and the built in effects can be controlled for each including chorus. I prefer some reverb on my voice, but not on the guitar and you have full control even if you want it on both, as to how much on each. Realistic acoustic sound and it is gorgeous paired with the Martin. Got mine in the green (limited edition) and it looks as great as it sounds!
