Hi,
Has anyone experience on the latest incarnation of AER Compact 60, the 60/3? Or better yet, has anyone (non-dealer...) compared these?
According to product info on the web, it has, compared to 60/2
- Smaller and lighter cabinet, with a 15% reduced weight of just 6.5 kg (14.3
lbs) at the same performance
-Voicing-modification: A slight adjustment in the overtones results in an
improved adaption to the needs of the up to date percussive playing
styles
- Modified gigbag: Smaller dimensions, professional look, super-quality
manufacture with piping instead of rimming, tough on the road
I had a Compact 60/2 in homedemo, but I chose Schertler David instead (tested also Roland AC60, some Marshall, some Hartke etc). In my test, the 60/2 was maybe a bit too revealing and there was something in the treble I didn't like, while the David was warmer-sounding, more bassy and more forgiving, and its "warm"-switch improves the sound with a piezo a lot --- and I found a second-hand David... I would, however, prefer an amp that is easier to carry, and the new AER looks optimal in that sense. But what do they mean with "the needs of percussive playing"? If that means more neutral upper-mids and trebles, that might be good.

I don't amplify my own guitar so I don't know!. Keith (
For many situations I prefer to use my small PA though...
Jo whoever he is.
