This title may cause a little de-ja-veau for some acousticsoundbaoarders.
I did a N.A.D. for the Acus Forstrings 5, a couple of years ago.
A combo I used to amp up my 12-string, for gigs.
This is an improved model, with 2 channels, instead of one.
I was lucky enough to acquire a new Gibson J15 yesterday.
I had tried it out, with all the otherguitars I played, through a Boss Acoustic Singer Pro.
This is a very clever, well made combo.
Not only does it have 2 channels, 1 for mic and 1 for guitar.
It also has reverb, chorus, anti feedback and a vocal harmoniser built in.
It is also twice the wattage of the Acus, with a larger woofer.
All that for only £100 extra.
But my memories of the littlest Acus were so good, that I decided to go to another shop.
My old mates, Aire Valley Guitars, stock Acus and as soon as I plugged the Gibbo in,
I knew I'd made the right decision.
I have no idea how good it would be with a mic.
Never put one through it.
But for amplifying an electro-acoustic guitar, I have never heard better.
And that includes Fishman, AER, Roland etc.
It's just a 2 channel amp, with inputs for guitar and mic.
It has an auxillary imput, for mp3 etc, a lovely reverb and a direct out.
That's it.
It's very solid and unlike my previous, black version.
This one is all natural wood.
Well, some sort of attractive ply anyway.
I just set all the EQ to 12 o'clock, initially.
Great sound but to get as close as I could to the guitar's natural tone, I put the middle control to 1 o'clock.
Perfectamundo!
And as evidence to how effective these diminutive combos can be.
When I gigged with the earlier version of this amp.
I was playing with a 2nd acoustic guitarist, 2 vocals and a drummer.
We mainly did clubs and pubs but also played a large marquee.
The Forstrings 5, positioned on a speaker stand, at head height, handled it all and never got put through the P.A.
