I recently purchased this little amp to go along with my new Taylor GS mini. It’s amazingly clear and makes my playing sound a little better. Most people think of acoustic amps just for amplifying sound in larger venues, but for home playing at a mid to low volume setting it just makes the guitar sound bigger and cleaner with zero distortion. The reverb and Chorus effects makes your music hit certain notes and frequencies in a subtle way that improves your sound and which you could never replicate with just the guitar.
DI sounds pretty good. But yeah, lots of competition. Guilty secret - at home I plug into a Boss Dual Cube LX, which is (surprisingly) great with a bit of 'verb and it's hard to worry about the lack of headroom at low volume.
Those small guitars sound do "banjo-ee" to me. Would love to hear a jumbo j-200 maybe...?? Played a j-200 through a fishman mini...sounded pretty darn full.
Room mic only sounded decent with heavy chorus. Di was ok throughout. Room mic to me sounded very thin. Probably the small speaker that is in it. If a bought an acoustic amp I'd find one with at minimum a 10" speaker. Better a 12" speaker.
@@_uncredited fair enough, I just feel that an electric would be more suitable for that. When I reach for my acoustic, I want to hear the acoustic sound bought it for. I understand your point as well though…
No one has any review if I want to use acoustic guitar without pick up with microphone and singing? Should I use PA or acoustic amp and which one for very small group of people?
Nice. Informative. The sound is quacky, though, through the DI. Like it's trying to make that steel-string sound like a nylon-string. Don't know if that's the amp or the piezoelectrics on the guitar.
With that size a battery or rechargeable option would be great. Your Site specs are waaaay off. "25 Inch Poly Cone Woofer 8 Inch Soft Dome Tweeter". It has a 5.25" driver
It just gives the acoustic sound more body and sounds amazing. The reverb and Chorus effects gives your sound a nice subtle change to the sound that you otherwise would not get just out of the guitar. I used to think for 20 years that amplifying an acoustic guitar for home play was silly, boy was I wrong. I purchased this little amp and love how my playing sounds.
£400 to amplify an acoustic at home , fish man or fish men ? Make good gear but why a head phone jack for acoustic guitar ? If it had rechargeable battery it would make nice small venue / busking amp , sadly soooo many other choices out there at the mo which are more cost effective . If you want reverb / chorus buy a Yamaha Trans acoustic , great guitars 😊👍
Around £400. Considering you can get a Katana for that with plenty of change to spare and I don’t think the tone would be vastly better on the Fishmann it feels a little pricey for me.
Shame there's no phantom power. There are better value acoustic amps at this spec, for example the Blackstar Core 30 or the Sonnet 60. For not much more my favourite the Sonnet 120.
You must have made mistakes on your website : the 60watts loudbox mini would be cheaper than a 40w...329 vs 399??? 25 Inch Poly Cone Woofer 8 Inch Soft Dome Tweeter no way it is possible : more 6.5" main speaker and 2.5" tweeter...I think you invert conversions inch and centimeters.
Don't need a practice amp ! Show us a good compact OPEN MIC AMP!! ONE ABLE TO BE HAULED ON A BUS OR SOMETHING!! OMG !! PRACTICAL STUFF DUDES/ COMPANIES

I love the chorus on acoustic guitars. It’s the prettiest sound imo
I'm mainly an extreme metal guy but Ben's videos/ playing are the best on the Andertons channel!
Thank you Ben. I always enjoy your smooth playing. Thanks Andertons! 💯👍🏼
DI sounds pretty good. But yeah, lots of competition. Guilty secret - at home I plug into a Boss Dual Cube LX, which is (surprisingly) great with a bit of 'verb and it's hard to worry about the lack of headroom at low volume.
I love the videos with Ben. Seems a top chap and an excellent musician.
I'm just here for your playing 😍😍
Nice demo! Seems like a good little amp..
Amazing playing as always🙏
I dont believe it for a second Ben loves chorus, look at him smile :)
Those small guitars sound do "banjo-ee" to me. Would love to hear a jumbo j-200 maybe...?? Played a j-200 through a fishman mini...sounded pretty darn full.
Finally, a new Ben video!
Well, the speaker sound didn't impress... but the DI out wasn't bad. Nice verb, decent chorus.
in the synth world, chorus is often used to mask a weak or thin sound. it's probably similar for acoustic guitars
Room mic only sounded decent with heavy chorus. Di was ok throughout. Room mic to me sounded very thin. Probably the small speaker that is in it. If a bought an acoustic amp I'd find one with at minimum a 10" speaker. Better a 12" speaker.
Fishman loudbox is always amazing ❤
Nice chops dude.
Whats not to like. I ordered one
What exactly is the point of a small amp for home use for an acoustic guitar? I am lost here…
Reverb. Tone controls. Fx. Pedals. Electro-acoustics can make some lovely sounds. He could have demoed more creatively.
@@_uncredited fair enough, I just feel that an electric would be more suitable for that. When I reach for my acoustic, I want to hear the acoustic sound bought it for. I understand your point as well though…
I usually play my acoustic on its own but it's good fun adding chorus and reverb through my Spark Mini.
@@StevenAMckayAuthorguys, you may have just helped me realise I am an acoustic sound purist and wasn’t aware of it 😂
A snob even 😂
Hi, excellent video, it looks a little small to be an 8 inch speaker. Is that what you mean by a driver? Do you sing as well?
Totally useable tones thru DI
I want to use it to play my classical guitar softer on my fingers but still be heard
Still always wanted to see acoustic amps compared to Katana acoustic channel.

Yes very quaky🙂😊

Can use with pd 20v 100w from powebank ?
If I'm playing my acoustic at home, not sure why I would want to amplify it.

Can I plug a headset in it?
yeah
And the burning question. How much?

£400
That sounds high to me. Mine cost me $299 about 2 months ago.
Why would an acoustic need a practice amp? It’s an acoustic.
With Ben playing sausage would sond great😅

He looks like Guthrie Govan

👍🏿🤘
Mehh, my ES 125 through my Katana 50 mk2 sounds better than this, especially when adding effects .

It almost doesn't matter how good the guitar and amp are when the sound is coming through a terrible piezo pickup. :-(
Hold up a cocking minute! We saw that illegal knife opening that box!
The king is gonna call Ben a terrorist for that!
The artist and performer fishman amps are much better. Look for a used one if you can
Quacky acoustic as expected.
If only there was some way of hearing my acoustic guitar….. Errrr……. Just hit the strings a little harder. Or get an electric.
First!
The guitar already makes sound by itself. Plugging at home is nonsense
Not a good demo.
I liked it
I think a lot of people are watching to have a listen to Ben's playing.
How so? He showed all the features. Played excellent. Showed room vs DI.
What were you missing?
Undertones of snigger for all things not liked by an individual.😂
