Acoustic Amp advice

pooleman0 · 10-28-2011, 09:22 AM

Hello All,

We are looking for a new acoustic amp for our church and I would like your reccomendations. I am going to GC today to try many of them but it is always helpful to get opinions and perhaps narrow my search. We currently have a Genz Benz Shenendoah (I think) and need anouther. We are hoping to use them both in worhip and outside when we monister in the community. Every moth we got to the local nursing home and have to drag all of our mixer, speakers etc. I would like to just bring two acoutic amps with mic inputs and just use that.

The band I work for uses Fishman loudboxes, both the smaller and the larger one. No complaints at all. For some smaller venues, we've used a Fishman solo amp for instruments and monitors with pretty good success.

If you are not adverse to Behringer products:

Our main guitarist has been using this for a few years now, and I think it's fantastic. You get a lot of volume from it, got a decent EQ, DI Outs, and two inputs (this way you can also have two separate EQ sets if you use different guitars).

It also has mic-in on the second channel.

I have a Hartke AC 150 Acoustic Ribbon amp that i bought at SamAsh about a year ago and works good for me. Has active/piezo input, mic input, and an aux (mp3) input, built in effects. Any ways they come in a 75 and 150 Watt, good output and a great unique sound.

Here is the link at SamAsh with a little more info:

Update. I picked up a Roland AC-60 absolutely love it. And now when we go to small acoustic gigs we just bring our 2 acoustic amps sick support 2 mice and were good. No more lugging the powered mixer, and 15" speakers. The Roland really sounds great. I'm saving for a ROLAND AC-90 for home use.
