 “I am extremely happy with everything about this Amplifier.  It is everything I could ever dream of for my acoustic guitars, and I know perfectly well it will be fine for my solid body Les Paul, for that burgundy velvet tone we were going for.”

“What I love about the Acoustic Combo is that it is tonally neutral ….straight out of the box…it just amplifies the guitar, as it is, is just enhances the sound dispersion, so much so that you can think you can step inside of it….it is psychoacoustic phenomena at its finest…
