So, earlier in the year I ordered a brand new Compact 60/4, the latest iteration. It’s a superb amp and has been faultless since I’ve owned it. It is LOUD (I’ve used it as a single source for audiences up to 200, and have never had the master volume past 11 o’clock!) and really crisp. Super hi-fi sound. Beautiful to sing through, too. It has a very gentle compression/limiting at extremes which is rather like singing through a good LA2A comp/limiter in the studio.
Great to hear you are happy with the Compact 60/4 ; just curious because EQ for the mic/vocals are the same as the XL wich you didn't like. I'm also in doubt choosing between the XL and 60/4 ,slightly in favor for the 200 W output XL. So as I understand you highly prefere the vocals on the 60/4 and in comparisson with the XL it's loud enough for small bar/venue gigs. Can you please elaborate on this..
Acoustic amps...I need to buy one, but which?
