    I have to say Lee’s comments were exactly what I was thinking - several of the presets sounded worse than the dry guitar .. maybe the limits of TH-cam video ..? I think this is a really honest review rather than “everything is great because we sell it” 👍👍

    I bought an AC-22LX not long after it was announced because I play small venues and wanted a more authentic acoustic guitar sound live. When playing at full volume, it’s loud enough and if you need any extra, it’s got a direct output so you can plug it into a mixer/DI. Plus the looper and rhythm section are perfect as I only perform as a one piece. If you’re performing as a one man band at small venues, I would highly recommend that you give the amp a chance if you see it in a music shop 🙌🏻

    I agree with another post here, which suggests a Katana on the acoustic channel. You have never compared that to other acoustic amps and i think a great deal of us here would love to see that. Please.

  • @cleangreenshirt
    @cleangreenshirt 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    at @18:17 you mention we're hearing it through the DI, to clarify all the amp sounds we're hearing in the video are through? Is there an interface you're running that into? Is it in mono or stereo? Lastly, with the mic emulators do you see this being a good usage for direct recording from those back ports? Thanks for the video!

    the AC-22LX is very similar to the Roland AC-33 with a few additions/ differences. I've used the AC-33 for the last 12-ish years for the exact purpose you mentioned in the video; it's fun to get lost in the acoustic sound.
    A great upgrade to get a natural sound live is to get the mic & piezo pickup like the Anthem SL, or a guitar already with a mic pickup like a Maton or some of the newer Yamahas. The mic provides the airy quality and the piezo gives the punch.
    imo mic-piezo combo pickup sounds good through any amp :)

    Guys, you are doing always a great job! Ben, easy question fo a pro like you as you know all about acoustic guitars : For a J45 50's original, playing mainly at home (struming clasic rock, blues and few jazz, no country, a bit of picking), what would be your go-to? Boss or Bugera ac60 (half price on the second hand market). looper can be plugged into the Bugera, no rythm. But what about the sounds and the effects? As per your review on the Buegra, it wa quite a good one. What would be your choice?

    It feels like Boss is doing something interesting here, and deliberately targetting people who like to play guitars but don't play gigs (or aspire to playing gigs) and don't want to upset the family/pets/neighbours. It'll be fascinating to see if they succeed in the medium-long term (after the initial rush of early adopters subsides).
    FWIW, I bought the Fishman fairly recently (sans bluetooth). I like it but I'm now wondering if the Boss would have been a better choice for home use . . .

  • @joemonroe1106
    @joemonroe1106 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The Captain is stuck in electric guitar amp mindset. I like the idea of just enhancing the guitar. I like the idea of still hearing the acoustic guitar along with the amp output separately intead of drowning out the guitar output all together. Those percussion sounds are also in the Boss Dr01 rythym partner.

  • @stevegamiello6476

    @dustins9611 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think this would be a great buskers amp for a small crowd without annoying people a block away. As a home amp, it may be good as an audio interface to record guitar and vocals or like Lee mentioned, I'd use my silent guitar with it which could add another option for road trips with my silent guitar.

    To practice at home quiet i have the Yamaha SLG200S and Yamaha SLG200N and they sound amazing plugged in to an amplifier and when using headphones is unbelievable amazing. When comes to acoustic amplifier my first was the Marshall ar80r , but i wanted the Marshall As100d and i got it few months ago . The Marshall AS80R is in my opinion better is an amazing acoustic amplifier and on vocals is a dream , i would never get rid of this amplifier. I think Marshall Soilist amplifiers are the best acoustic amplifiers ever made .
    Saying this i think this is a lovely product from Boss and will appeal to many guitar players for sure .

      Yamaha has a great piezo pickup. With my FSTA transacoustic on a small Fender amp, it doesn't have that canned acoustic piezo sound. Rich and full and the high end sounds mic'd by the sound hole.

  • @ramspencer5492
    @ramspencer5492 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

    The Blackstar Sonnet was my favorite.... The I didn't like the Fishman... It managed to add a little bit of the Piezo quack sound... The Bulgera sounded pretty good to me in comparison.... Don't forget you can add an impulse response pedal and make an IR of the guitar you're playing to get more accuracy with something like K&K.....

  • @astridlenore
    @astridlenore 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    That little amp has a lot of promise, though I think they missed the mark with the size... you either want to go higher wattage so you can make it a valid stage amp, or you want to lose the speaker and power amp and make it a stompbox you can just plug into your power amp or PA, either way you could get the same headphone experience. That Blackstar though... very usable as-is, good to see they do as well with acoustic as electric amps.

    I’m a flamenco guitar player and been using the Roland AC-33 for 10 years. It’s a very compact and lightweight stereo amplifier perfect for acoustic guitars and in my experience it sounds better than Bose S1 Pro and JBL EON One Compact, specially when you do the Picado/Rest Stroke technique. The speaker last around 7 hours with Eneloop Pro rechargeable batteries at 70% Volume that is enough for small gigs (20 - 30 pax indoor).
    I just found that there is this new BOSS AC-22LX and I wonder if it has more volume and better quality sound. Is there anyone who already got this new amp. and compared with the Roland AC-33 in a live performance?

    Hi,
    I'm playing acoustic guitar and singing . I do have Fender 212R but now I'm thinking to buy acoustic amp. I don't use acoustic-electric guitar just a microphone (I have both dynamic and condense). I do thinking about this four amps but maybe you have better advice. I like some power (minimum 50W).

    Lee never really seems to get why someone should want to plug an already great sounding electro acoustic into an amp at home but it really does open up a whole new musical world...think your acoustic plugged into a Strymon Cloudburst then into that Boss Amp....or any amp...!!..the possibilities are endless...!!:-)...Ben got it in one though using the word ''Enhancement''.
