slimt Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 What amp do you all prefer to use for your Acoustic Gibson? and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I just love the AER 60……just sooo clean sounding…as an aside….There is only ONE pickup that I think Gibson uses that is any good….that is the Trance Audio mono…..all the other USP's are sub standard. Even the mini's are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phelonious Ponk Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 No amp. I plugged my Gibson into a powered speaker, a QSC K-8. I'm doing that with a Bags M-80, though, not a factory pickup. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacamartin Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm not a fan of any usp. I like to mic mine at the 12th fret thru any amp with good chorus and reverb. Currently use a Fishman LoudBox Mini for both vocal and acoustic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainpicker Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I live in a place where I couldn't audition any amps when I went looking so I shopped by listing my requirements and then went shopping by reputation. I ended up with a Marshall ASD100. It's about six years old now and has performed reliably with guitar and vocal capabilities beyond my expectations. It even does a pretty decent job handling an electric guitar in a pinch. Prior to getting the Marshall I got a Behringer ACX900, which I still have and use and it too has been just great. I don't know if it is made anymore but it was their middle of the road acoustic amp at the time and got me going in the plugged in world. Now I and the guys I play with don't gig in public so I would rate the Marshall as heavy and I wouldn't want to schlepp it around much but it IS Marshall quality. Hope that helps.

modoc_333 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I really like the Fishman series. the tower is the best but they are all great for their size compared to others. That's if you're not just going to go direct to the PA -Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidblast Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I have a Fender Acoustasonic 150 combo that sounds pretty good in most situations, or, in to a Yamaha AG Stomp and then to the sound board which sounds probably the best out of the two.

Motherofpearl Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I too use a Marshall as100d. Great amp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 For all of my Fishman and GraphTech piezos in solidbodies I use a Schertler JAM 150 amp. Works nicely, and in particular I love the natural sound of string attack through the dome tweeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Since I have stuck with Dearmond 210s I can plug into any amp that is laying aorund. My favorite though remains a 1955 Fender Twin. Also a Gregory Mark XX which I think I like mainly because of the snake skin grill cloth. But I only plug in when I feel the need for that Elmore James/Lightnin' Hopkins vibe.

kebob Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I gig through a Fishman Soloamp and pair it with a QSC K8 powered monitor when needed. Very satisfied with that setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Ive been using a Fishman Matrix Infintiy combined with an Aura Spectrum DI for years with great effect. We plug into a Yamaha Stagepass. Here is a sample with that set up through a Hummingbird True Vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Davy Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I have a little 15w Fender Acoustasonic since it has an XLR input as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I just love the AER 60……just sooo clean sounding…as an aside….There is only ONE pickup that I think Gibson uses that is any good….that is the Trance Audio mono…..all the other USP's are sub standard. Even the mini's are better. On the AER site, they call Monte Montgomery the 'hard core troubadour' and made his signature AER acoustic amp a neighbour pleasing/annoying 200 Watts!!!!! Their 60 sounds like 120 watts, so the 200 would blister the ears! My old Genz Benz 60 sounds like 20 and my Mesa 22 tube amp sounds like 120... And they both have spiders living in them and cobwebs from non usage... Some of the common acoustic amps have been for a while now and someone must be inventing something really cool and modern as we sit here. Hope so, cos I prefer a mic to my little 4 channel mixer and headphones/in ear monitors lately..... BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajay Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I mike mine at the fretboatd into a little Roland Micro Cube RX Bass Amp. The Roland has a lot of effects, You can plug a CD or MiniDisc player into it and play along, and best of all, 6-AA Batteries will power it for over ten hours. The sound is amazing for its size, and You can take it to Your favorite train station or street corner for a good old time street jam. With the various amps that they make, You could potentially power a four piece band with 24-AA Batteries with electonic drums. I love modern technology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
