BOSS Acoustic Singer Pro & Live Amplifiers | NAMM 2017

- The new BOSS Acoustic Singer Pro & Live Amplifiers are among the most unexpected surprises so far this year. With well-known and beloved Boss effects on-board, the amp has plenty of tone-shaping options for your acoustic and vocal inputs. Our favorite feature, though, is the harmonizer, which makes use of some extremely impressive note-tracking technology - it tracks both your voice as well as the tonality of the guitar track. Check out Joe's rendition of "Two Of Us" for proof.

Six years ago? I'm late. I came here to say that the singer gave me Goosebumps. Man it's not easy for me to get that but it's also easy for me when I hear a certain voice. Beautiful
I bought the Boss Acoustic Singer Pro because of this video. If you've only owned an electric guitar amp all your life - like I did, you'll find the clear, clean tones of this amp like stepping out to crisp mountain air after being in a humid swamp. It is fantastic, and has everything a singer/songwriter-guitarist could want in an amp. Highly recommended! =)
have a general question: How does wattage affect volume? I have seen acoustic amps of 180w sold for $800 while one with 55w sold for $2000 ??? The higher the wattage the more the volume? louder? Does other fx determines the price?
It is definitely louder, but its not all about the increase in volume rather the Quality of the volume. This Boss ASPro can entertain a small venue or be your control monitor on stage - without buzzing or hissing like old Marshall and Peavey amps even at full blast. The Boss ASLive is meant for a small jam with friends or a living room. Boss has a reputation for reliability and being built like a tank - while being affordable. You'll need at least a Boss FS-6 with this amp. I bought both Boss GA-FC and a FS-5U for full control. $2000 for an amp? That's audiophile gear. High price does not always mean its better. The Boss Acoustic Singer amp stands out among all other amps in that it literally has ALL the effects (EQ, chorus, reverb, harmonizer, looper and DI outputs) that a singer/songwriter needs. I couldn't be happier with this amp! =)
Thanks for clarification! be blessed!

I was first looking at the Fishman Loudbox mini charge but I’m intrigued by this, any thoughts on the two?
@@tommym321 If you need a battery and bluetooth, go for the Fishman (if busking). If you need harmony, USB to connect and record to your computer/recording software, separate voice and guitar DI out, tweeter control, mic power control, a looper, (LOL! BOSS has tons of features) - then go for the Acoustic Singer Pro or Live if your sing and play professionally or want to sound pro even at home or parties.
Bought this two weeks ago, it's the best amp I've ever had, love it!! It is loud and clear as a mountain stream.
Good one. how loud it is?
@@diesekaltewelt807 whether it's 60 watts or 120 watts, both should be more than loud enough for rehearsals and gigs.
@@diesekaltewelt807 very loud. 60W set on 70% is enough for garden pub
Sir how much in peso??
I have the the Pro at 120 Watt it has plenty of power. Everyone that hears this amp is just blown away by the quality and the beautiful sound. There are 3 acoustic settings to get a very nice acoustic tone even on my electric archtop jazz guitar. The vocal side and harmonizer are just magnificent. For it's price it's the best investment I ever made. Also having 2 balanced line outs one for guitar and one for vocals is a god send to take both back to a control desk to be controlled and mixed individually. This can be done pre effects or post effects. Boss really did think of everything on this amp. Also one thing that was not mentioned is that if you hold the harmonizer type button down for a few second you can get "unison and high" harmony together, so you have 4 settings, high harmony, unison, low harmony and unison with high harmony. You won't be disappointed.
How much???
I bought Acoustic Singel Live last week and I am happy, thank you BOSS..
She's unbelievable and beautiful to boot.
Goddamn that harmonizer part!
Just bought this amp.
Should be in today.
Can't wait !
How has your experience been?
Excellent explanation and demo.Thank you.
...Wow......some serious reverb there......sounds excellent
Great - I like the way are you play guitar and her for such beautiful voice. And yes, the boss acoustic singer is a really great tool to make music. I work with it since two year. Through this video I learned more about its opportunities.
1998 and The Dude are calling,...wanting their sweater back, man. Thanks for a great video demo of this amp!
Nice perform with great equipment. thumbs up to both of you
I wish somebody gift me the boss acoustic pro.. what a dream come true it will be.. maybe i still can gift myself if i start saving.. what a heavenly sound it produce..
Really Nice for Solo Gigs. Great Idea. Boss is still Innovative.
Great job , guys . Answered all my questions . Thanks !
Very nice demo of this amp - and a great performance, I really enjoyed listening to you. thank you!
Sounds fantastic.
i think these amps sound thin in the bass, compared with rolands ac's amps, but vocals sound better than the roland AC-33 + Roland street cube i own
Fantastic product! Great guitar and singing voice!
If only Boss/Roland had made it possible to switch between the 3 types of "Harmonizations" with the GA-FC pedal. Otherwise it's a killer product.
Stevie Nicks reborn but even more beautiful! Wow!
Wow! Great presentation...and yes that harmonizer is from another world. Greatest selling point of that amp. Really at a crossroads here. Played through a Fender Acoustic 100 amp and the effects selection outweigh the effects on the boss.
Then there is the nux stageman ac50 it has a built-in drum machine.
If only 1 amp had all 3 features I'd be happy 🌻
Sounded fantastic Joe! Thank you.
One of the Best reviews Thanks
What about a Foot Controller for the Boss Acoustic singer amp series?
Foot control for Guitar and Mic effects?/
Great demonstration for an awsome product and you guys are terrific! I just bought this amp also because of you. Thanks for sharing!
Can you turn the harmonizer on and off with a foot switch???
Yupp. Take a look at the back of the amp here www.boss.info/ca/products/acoustic_singer_live/
Great demo!
Omg that thing is awesome
I love how infomercials are called reviews now ......... like they just "happened " on these 2 hanging out at a club together and said hey what do you think of our amp ?
Finally a demo guy who can sing! And chooses to sing something nice! Girl sings great as well!!
Gorgeous lady and talented... oh about the amp
When I record a loop by pressing the button on the guitar amplifier, there is no problem in switching between the loops.
But when I start with the footswitch and record the time between loops, I wait about 1 second and then start again, which breaks the rhythm. What would be the reason?
beautiful. love the harmony. what would make it a beast is if you could insert a graphic before power amp. maybe in an effects loop?
Wow, cool. Thank you for your explanation and demo. Now I know why people compare the competitor of this one with the less and older AC33. Well, I am a user of the AC60. Pretty old, but quite reliable. Cheers!
I am curious if anyone has found the harmony function weird and a bit annoying after the initial "cool!" factor has worn off. I am thinking seriously about buying this but am wondering about this!
What happens if you're on the high setting and sing the fifth of the chord? Does it sing a high root?
@Haskell Folsom Anyone, if the melody takes you there.
Boss Acoustic Singer Pro & Live Amplifiers vs Boss VE8 Acoustic Singer - Which is Better?
Thanks so much for the review!!
Are there any good pedals that can replicate the harmony?
If the amp is in front of the mic, how can you hear your voice? kg
Great review, well done.
can you use it as aux player too? can I hook my laptop or phone up to it?
Yes, has aux 3.5 mm jack input with volume control. On rear sheet. Works a like active reprobox.
Hi everyone. Im considering for buying ASPro for acoustic solo gig. Is the amp is loud enough for performance in stage at shopping mall and for outdoor usage?
I like the boss amp kool ok now I’m going to get one I typed in what is the best acoustic amp and the boss came up and watching you play with the boss very nice amp I love it
This looks good! I play acoustic gigs most of the time and it's a pain in the ass to carry PA, mixer bla bla bla. I'd love to have just one thing ready to go with everything built in. I'll check this out as soon as I can.
This is the answer I have used it for solo performance it is perfect sounds great big and Crystal clear.
What about Bluetooth or at least a jack to plug phone into for break music
Can keyboard be used?
awesome amp
This was an incredible video!
I want this amp..
Then buy it you lazy bum, lol jk I want it too! XD
Is this overkill for strictly vocals backed w the line input from a device and no instruments ,interested for the looping and effects
So for singing you use a acoustic guitar amp? I used to sing through my fender twin reverb but I didn’t know any better. Just playing around at home. Just home hobby. So what I need is a acoustic guitar amp ? I don’t want to gig it’s just my voice is so much better with some amplification. I have a decent voice but I’m not able to project it very loudly. Especially over a Martin D28 guitar. It’s a pretty loud guitar on its own
in every video I see (where this boss amp is used) I see low volume half whispering voices being used to advertise this amplifier .
being a singer of some experience I wonder fore sure if a strong singing voice opens up , will this amp still be usable.??
(I doubt it)
second ,
I often rehearsal with electric guitar .
using a fender pro junior amp for the guitar.
in such cases I found out that I can forget getting a fine balance of equal volume, balance and ambiance with portable combo voice amps .
so far I have not seen any producer building combo amps for electric guitar and voice.
I dream of an pro junior guitar amp and a equal voice amplification in one combo .
that is what is wryly missing on the marked
maybe an idea for boss
New to playing music....can this amp accommodate back tracks for a solo singer? Stay safe🙏🏻❤️
What if I played my electric guitar through this with a vox effects preamp?
Is there a jack to plug my phone into for break music?
Hello i am looking for a amp whoch has mic input and also guitar input (EPIPHONE LES PAUL STANDARD) is this amp good ?? Can i use to guitar to the full potential like reverb and other things like other amps (katana 2 ) pls help and also i wanna play HARD ROCK
Try the Fender Acoustasonic 150. It has dedicated voicings for electric guitars.
I have the boss Acoustic live,but when I want to crank straight up it starts to distort,do I need to drop my Mike volume,pls.help
Hey KK, I’d say ANYTIME you have distortion I’d first start at your volume, (provided you have everything connected correctly). Then I’d just drill down from there and go step by step and start checking your EQ levels. Remember the feedback feature on this amp that helps you fix some of these issues for you. But also keep in mind that, your mic can also contribute to distortion.
I JUST LOVE YOUR GUITAR IT IS BEATIFUL. PLEASE JUST TELL ME WHAT IT IS.
Kind regards
Tim U.K.
what kind of pick up is in that guitar? it gives it a silky sound rather than a tin sound that you usual get in cheaper guitars.... please advise.
Blues men played on the shittiest guitars ever created and that created rock and roll. It's all in the fingers.
Does this work in a non-acoustic setting like in a band situation
.....smooth....
have a general question: How does wattage affect volume? I have seen acoustic amps of 180w sold for $800 while one with 55w sold for $2000 ??? The higher the wattage the more the volume? louder? Does other fx determines the price?
It depends on what kind of amp it is. Solid state amps are usually cheaper than tube amps.
What is the brand of your guitar? That logo looks very familiar...
Would like to hear the guitar un-amped first, to get an idea. Hopefully in the next version, you can do three part harmony. T'would be sweeet!
Can you use any wireless mic with this amp?
Once dialled in with a vocal effect you are stuck with it unless there is foot switch controller... And I don't think there is one so vocal effect very limited
There is a foot switch for the looper and harmonizer, check other videos.
How to avail sir?
Would have been nice to actually hear the gtr been strummed without all the Chorus/ and effects. Most important is what the gtr sounds like without all the effects. Didn't really get a lot out of this demo bar the fact that the harmony feature works very well.
IS THERE A FULL COVER OF THE SONG AT THE BEGGINING, PLEASE TELL ME :(
Can I use this without playing guitar?
Can I use the harmonizing effect just singing or do I need a guitar for the amplifier to harmonize with my voice?
* i’m learning guitar but for the most part I will be doing just mostly singing.
The chords that you play on the guitar is what informs the harmony generator what key you are in. The amplifier intelligently analyzes the guitar chord and produces a harmony vocal transposition BASED on that chord. Without the guitar, you'd get randomized vocal parts that might not be the note that you'd want.
Boss has vocal pedals that the key is chosen by switches...that's what you would need
Looks like it would be tough to use the vocal harmonizer for recording as you need to also be playing the guitar for the harmonizer to work properly.
Yeah but does it suck? Is it really 120w? Or is it just 50w? I can never tell on TH-cam. If they make a bigger one with the pedal included I'll go for it
can u use the harmonizer on the guitar or no
Once again could I ask about the guitar. I have heard nothing back.
Kind regards
Tim from the UK
Sounds Great! Is this released yet? Price point? I wonder how it will project. Is the Harmonizer footswitchable on and off? Does the looper have a footswitch (start and stop independent switches) and what is the max loop length?
Yes they offer one that controls all.
@@fathuch it can't control all theres separate Jack's for the looper and harmonizer.
Right. Now how does it sound in a crowded pub ?
Does it come with a foot switch to turn the effects on and off?
I ordered mine from Sweetwater and it came with the foot switch. Special deal.
Nope! That’s why I bought second hand on sale and then spent the dollars saved on an FS-5U lol
Ok, what if you don't have that great of a voice, will this help make it sound better or more in tune?
It doesn't have autotune just practice more. Geez really? You can do it just try harder.
Yes IT will
wow
would like to see more of the looper- also could you use this as a keyboard amp with looper and vocal? Would love that! The harmony thing is so spooky
Acoustic singer / songwriter here Iv'e been playing guitar for 30 years and I will say after all the research I have done on these kinds of amps, and playing countless instruments over the years, I think the Harmonizer really depends on the singers vocals too how spot on they are. What I wish these amps would come out with is a really nice 12 string effect and microphone modeling , get various tones of some of the best mics to give better sound to the acoustic , as opposed to having to rig more stomp boxes . I have found over the years the less a musician has to carry the better !!!
I believe LR Baggs has a pedal that will do that. However, I do agree with you. :)
How well does it track if you finger pick?
I'm a finger picker and you can find the "sweet spot" which sounds great.
Gu'r is K.Yairi Custam ??
Can I use condenser mic ?
Yep
alguém sabe o nome da música que a mulher canta no início do vídeo
Pienso que la cantante es Stevie Nicks de Fleewood Mac , No se el nombre de la cancion.
Is that an SM58 mic?
cante davis it's a peavey gx64 mic
how can a solid state amp with only 120 watts possibly be loud enough to play a room with 50 people in it??? my bet is, it cant
60W is enough for garden pub. Set on 70%.
Should I go for the Pro or the Live?
Not sure
Can we play heavy guiter
Note that the volume and gain knob is very low !!! because if you increase you only hear hiss and feedback !!! and this has no control on this amplifier. I'll let you know until this is fixed, I don't want others to lose your money like me !!!
where is your yAmika?
Would I be able to play a backgroud track?
Yep
Would be even better if it would emulate vocals a third above and a third below melody vocal AT THE SAME time. Then you could have three part harmony.
what guitar it is?
Artur Wlasti Alvarez
No foot control ???
Bonus points for saying josefinas name correct!
I want a blues singer pro
Starting at 2:20 the acoustic sounds literally dead, like 5-year old strings. Strange that it would brighten up at 3:06 when we only see him turn the reverb down. The chorus sounds like any cheap chorus, but the guitar can't shake that waxy, boxy piezo tone. I've heard Alvarez guitars sound a lot better than this. Don't recognize the model but looks higher end.
It's almost funny hearing him describe a vocal harmonizer as if it's some new thing.
I'm a fan and customer of Reverb, and I like Boss (the Katana is an amazing amp) and Alvarez. No reflection on the artists either, but this demo doesn't make me want to go out and spend $600 on this amp. Or even $300. I really wanted to like it.
Nick drake! Also I was expecting this to be super cheesy but it's actually awesome. I kinda want one.
How much?
