Acoustic 100 - 100-watt Acoustic Amp Review

Versatile Acoustic Amp

I have had this amp for over a year and I love it. It is always a good feeling when you find a piece of gear that works for you and doesn't leave you restless for something else. I play my acoustic and Ibanez semi-hollow with it. The on-board effects are usable - the Chorus+Delay is my go to. Of note, I purchased and returned a Fishman Loudbox Mini before bringing the Fender home.… read more The Mini without question is a good amp, I just found this one to be better for me.

Almost everything you will want

I recently purchased a Fender Acoustasonic Telecaster, and I thought that I should treat it to an acoustic amp. I already own a Fender Villager 12-string Acoustic-Electric and an Epiphone Dot-Studio Semi-Hollow guitars, so my thinking was that I can really put the Fender Acoustic 100 thru the paces. There are a bunch of acoustic amps on the market right now and I was looking for… read more a "brand" name with the best bang for the buck! I finally decided that there is a perfect spot in my home studio for the 100. So maybe aesthetics took precedence over performance. First impression was that it is gorgeous! Well put together yet very light. Smaller than I thought (but aren't they all). As far as the sound. the Acoustasonic still sounds very natural when plugged in. The unit comes with an 8" woofer and a small tweeter built into the front of it. Two negatives for me ... it is Not 100 watts, maybe 40. And, strong to all the way up to 11! The other is the frequency response has all the lows (fullness) that you could ever need, especially with my 12-string, but not enough highs. For all three of my guitars, the bass is set at "0," and the treble is almost all of the way up, and I'm using the mid like the old VOX "tone X" to fine tune the tones. This is a little weird because the Acoustasonic is basically modelling guitar. There are a variety of different pickups on these guitars with little or NO feedback. Great versatility for a little amp, I would recommend to anybody. I've been playing professionally for most of 55 years. I thought Nick at Sweetwater was very patient with me as we waded through all the different models.

Great amp but bass

Great acoustic guitar amp - makes some guitars sound better than any acoustic amp I have ever heard. However, the Lr baggs element and true mic pickups have extremely loud bass on the E string. Some may like this, but I do not. Recently I added an external eq pedal and just turned the lowest bass frequency down. This worked, but I can't say that it helps the over all sound, especially… read more through the house. I would advise people to try it out with the guitar your plan to use before purchasing.

Fender 100 acoustic amp

The selling point for me was the Blue Tooth feature as I am a poor guitarist. I used the amp to play one of my favorite songs through my tablet. This particular version of the song was remixed and cleaned up, the sound through the amp was crystal clear, I then went through some classical guitar music and the amp was just wonderful.It is small and compact my loves the fact it looks… read more like a piece of furniture.

Fender acoustic 100 amp

Unbelievable how great this amp sounds with my acoustic guitars and my resonator. The effects are great also I did a show and ran A mic into it and sounded amazing. I did order the pedal which I will recommend you can store 3 effects settings and has a tuner built into it. I tried several acoustic amps by far the best one is the acoustic 100
