Post by iha »

I want a small acoustic guitar amp. Just for playing for myself not out anywhere or anything. How much $ would I have to spend to get a descent one? And suggestions?

I am sure a quick search will give you some insights...

Anyway, I have an Ultrasound and couldn't be happier with it.

I have the AG-50DS3, which has been upgraded to the AG-50DS4.
It goes for $500 at http://www.GuitarAdoptions.com (I guess the best place to buy one).
The lowest model is the AG-30, for $200.

You might also want to look for the Roland AC60, which will be around $450 (it's very good, but I definitely prefer the Ultrasound DS3).

If you don't want to spend that money, you can try the Crate models.

I've never tried the AG-30, but for that price range you might want to try Crate.
There is also the Marshall AS50R (around $380 from a quick search).

And you can search for used amplifiers, which might be an option to consider if you want to spend only $200...

I have the Marshall AS50R, I love it. It's got a 1/4" and XLR out in the back too, so you can always run it through a P.A. if need be, which is what I do, I end up using it as a guitar monitor.

you could get a dean, although i am not fond of their acoustic guitars, i really did like how their acoustic amp sounded. it was relatively cheap if i remember (around 200). i played it for about an hour at our local guitar shop they other day and i might get it. but i would only get it if i get warranty too, i am not too sure about dean...

Ok, I decided to hold off on getting one (bought an ipod instead). Thanks. I'll probably get an ultrasound one eventually.
