I tried every amp at Guitar Center and the Fender Acoustics seem to sound the best... Had the most controls... I hope to use XLR, and seperate mike controls and I wanted an Amp with those features...
I also like the tilt back feature built in to the design!!!

Location: south east Michigan | I have had one for about 6 months now. I paid $299 from a local indpendent music store. I like it. Lots of features, nice design, and enough power for my purpose. I don't know if it has enough power to gig with but it fills up my living room just fine. | |

Location: NC | I have heard this is a great amp. I currently use a Kustom KAA30 which is cheap and gets the job done fairly well. :) | |

Location: Ft. Lauderdale, Florida | Find me an ACOUSTIC AMP with ALL these features,
for less and I would consider it a bargain...
Product Description
This new amp, an upgraded version of Fender's popular Acoustasonic 30 features digital effects including Reverb, Delay, Chorus, Vibratone, and more, all optimized especially for acoustic performers. Each of the amp's two channels provides FX Select and FX Level control and onboard feedback reduction gives you the finishing touch to your professional overall sound. The Acoustasonic 30 DSP is powered by a 30-watt amp driving an 8" speaker and a tweeter. Other features include a built-in tilt-back angle, phantom-powered XLR mic input, and more.
With more than a year spent on research and development, the new Acoustasonic 30 DSP now feature handcrafted Digital Signal Processing effects that combine the clarity of Fender’s Acoustasonic Series with the versatility on board digital features to offer musicians a complete palette of acoustic possibilities. New DSP effects include Reverb, Delay, Chorus, Vibratone, and more, all of which are specially designed and optimized for acoustic performers.

I don't think there is a better sounding, Acoustic Amp, with all those features, for around $300... Maybe Fender knows a thing or two about making amps, they claim to make more than anyone else, probably beacuse they have been doing it longer han anyone else...
The only other amp I would like to try is Ultrasound... But being a smaller company, I doubt I'll fifn one in a showroom to be played, but I will look.

Location: Toronto | I had the Acoustasonic Junior - and loved it. I moved to a PA system and got rid of all my amps.
When my kids move out and I can reclaim some space in the house - this is first on the list of returning items! And IMHO the Ovations sound amazing through it...

Location: Omaha | I have one of the earlier models (come to think of it, we have TWO in our sanctuary!) without the DSP; they sound great, can be plugged into the PA (or daisy-chained and used together), and I agree, they sound GREAT with an Ovation, and also with my Larrivees... | |
