Pickups and Amps for Acoustic Instruments

L. R. Baggs has a great new amp specifically designed for use with acoustic guitars. The Acoustic Reference Amplifier's most impressive feature is how great it sounds not just out in front, but off to the sides as well, dispersing 200 watts of high quality sound to the corners of a performance venue. A couple of very nice retro features: Separate VU meters for each channel (when's the last time you saw a VU meter?), and spring reverb, which sounds so much better than electronic reverb. This amp is housed in a cabinet that looks more like furniture than a techno box, but is still built to be taken on the road. The first of these amps (like ours) is the ³signature version, featuring quilted maple panels on the sides; future production will have mahogany sides. List price is $1599 and it's here, in stock.

To compliment the pickup in your instrument, Fishman offers several acoustic instrument amplifier models, The Loudbox and the Loudbox Pro. When they say loud, they mean it. The Loudbox is a 250 watt tri-amped system designed for a clean acoustic response at any volume, with lots of headroom. The Loudbox Pro is a 2-channel amp. We also stock the Fishman Loudbox Performer and Fishman's newest amp, the Loudbox 100. Check with us for models currently in stock.
