Fender Acoustic 100 Acoustic Amplifier - Overview & Demo

Omg what a great voice she has. I’m a songwriter but wish I had a voice as pure as that.

[@mikeridley2728]

This is the best piece of audio gear I ever owned.

[@MOAB-UT]

I played it today at GC- Taylor 414CE. I suspect that is what heaven sounds like. Question- If you use either or both of the outputs, does the front speaker still work?

[@EddieLeeGrovesMusic]

I solo gig with one of these. Many times it's my pa too. Great unit

You can use a mic with it?

@@bjorknasty2870 I’m not the best person to ask, I just use it for Guitar during home use. I use an electric with a different amp when I play gigs.

Very helpful review. Many thanks! ☺️

[@jasonconcept]

A little distorted at 5:31 but I can't tell if that's the amp or the recording levels were too hot.

[@Funkyguitarcovers]

I’m getting mine Monday can’t wait 😛

[@MrBillyrosewood]

Just bought one as my Fishman artist is being repaired (hopefully). Not a bad sounding amp, but does not compare to the Fishman. In all fairness, it is half the price. One small complaint are the led lights on the effects controls. The lights are so bright that is hard to read printed setting next to the bright white light. I put a small piece of clear milar (1x3) film over the lights and colored the film blue with a sharpie. Now the lights are dull enough to see the setting.

Amazing amp, soubds great. a nice little live studio hub with an iPad connected via Bluetooth as well 👍🏼

[@diegoamestica4038]

Hello there, can you advice which one is better between boss singer live 60 w and fender acoustic 100?

[@weslleysaldanha2272]

What is better???

[@mikewoodward-rp4uj]

Two (related) questions: - could you use the 2 channels with an ABY pedal, so one guitar is linked to both channels, which would then allow you to apply different effects on each channel? - would you want to? Thanks for any help

[@scottschmittmusic]

Can you use the balanced out to drive another speaker

[@elpilotodeldesierto3113]

Can you hook up a mic and guitar?

[@Louisiana1975]

Holy crap, I jusT ordered it!!!

[@wayne2325]

Great review. Just bought it! 👍

[@FUY735]

Does anyone know if this amp works with the fender tone pc software.

[@aleighroberts4849]

It is saying my amp isn’t set up when I try to connect my phone to the amps blue tooth?

[@Eiliffa]

How does it respond to soundhole pickups? I'm using an active one (seymour duncan mag mic). Also, does it work well with classical guitar?

[@21Million]

How well will it run on a battery pack? Needs a review.

[@大家拿]

The equalizer seems not controlling the Bluetooth, not even the volume.

[@ronmiller9881]

Love the act starting at 4:45. Who is that?

[@ronmiller9881]

Never mind, upon closer inspection: Megan Linford.

[@petercontreras922]

what is the proper footswitch for this amp?

[@robbieunger850]

Can this Amp play guitar + microphone, and bluetooth backing track all at once?

[@Trx400ex1991]

Yes

[@JohnnyRebKy]

Is it good to sing through ?

[@robbieunger850]

I need this

[@goodshipharmony]

Great sounding amp with some good features. If I were to nitpick - there is no dedicated reverb knob on each channel - you can only select 1 0f 3 different reverbs as a preset. So - if you want to add a taste of reverb to your chorus selection - you can't. Also, if you buy this amp thinking "holy cow, 100 watts out of that little box with an 8" speaker????" well you may be disappointed. It's not as loud as I expected it would be. But the sound is sparkling clean, as you would expect from Fender. And man does it sound nice with a Strat plugged into it!

[@deniscrispin6865]

That's because it is solid state if you need 100 watts you need to purchase 40 watts more approximately you get true 100 watts in a tube amp or very close to it

[@MOAB-UT]

Strat? You mean it takes pedals well? Just watch because it is a full range speaker so it could damage it if you play loud consistently with heavy distortion. It is designed for clean. Worse case though, you just replace the speaker. It should not damage anything else. If you use either or both of the outputs, does the front speaker still work?

[@jsg1987]

Can you play a electric guitar through it?

[@camilofino2054]

Yes, but it loses some frequencies

[@vamichael95]

How do you get the string tag off the amp? I got mine today and the string is stuck and they built over it so you can’t remove it…..

[@chrisullery3386]

Seriously, did you ever get it off?

[@scottschmittmusic]

I used mine last night for the 1st time and thought it should have been way louder than it was?.. look at your volume mine was set the same at like 10 o'clock just under 12 o'clock.. it should have been blasting but it wasn't? Also I had the vocal bass side peggged and it still lacked warmth and bass That's just my opinion Also it has no Master volume like all other acoustic amps.. I had a 60 watt crate amp and sold it for this one and at 2 it was loud This one was at 10 clock face

Hi. Is this good for pub gigs?

[@oreally8605]

I would say definitely yes. 100 watts?

[@John-e4p1x]

Great singer who is she?

[@luisraulmartinezrojasmarti3938]

Can you use a loop pedal with that amp?

[@MOAB-UT]

I imagine certainly yes. I looper, just loops your guitar signal. It's if you add heavy distortion that an acoustic amp can over time wear out.

[@shin-ichiro8246]

Is this Rechargeable ?

[@freddysnip6257]

If you want an amp with a 🔋 battery, check out the new Fender acoustic junior go. It is lasting 5 hours on one charge .

[@forrest.0569]

Can you bypass effects on it

[@goodshipharmony]

Yes, turn FX Level knob to 0

[@timothyschoennagel2596]

I can't get mine to turn on! Please Halp! Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. No variables to the best of my knowledge. Yes power is confirmed at the outlet. I'll contact guitar center but this was here first.

[@kpbarker]

Was looking at this to replace a Fishman pro-lbx-300. How's the comparison?

[@MOAB-UT]

I play6ed this one today and I have a mini. I liked this one slightly more and the effects gave it a nod. When I get my Taylor, I plan to keep my Fishman and use both of them- for some really nice separated stereo sound. A quality A/B/Y will let you achieve that but since the Fishman has a mic input, I will just use my mic into the Fishman and the pup direct into the Fender to get the effects. Add some vocals and a quality backing track and you will be very good to go!

[@musicalgear1024]

Im a 30+ year professional guitarist. I bought this thing thinking it would satisfy my needs while performing small venues, small church events, etc. WRONG! It is weak, flabby sounding speaker, the amp is virtually impossible to equalise to any decent sound, you can't adjust any parameters on the effects and it is thin across the board. Did I mention it was weak? Anyway, it is quite possibly the worst piece of gear Ive ever bought, at least in memory. Why oh why didn't I just buy the Fishman Artist or performer??! I made a mistake in buying this thing and Im here trying to save anyone else the trouble. If you want a bedroom amp for home, get it but you'd come out ahead doing without an amp at all. But if you plan to use the amp for a performance, DO NOT BUY

[@jacobm7421]

The cloth looks and feels cheap in person. My only drawback. It will not take much to tear it.

[@MontuckyGirl75]

Then take care of it. I keep the box and use that to transport. Use clear tape to make a strap to hold it by.

[@jacobm7421]

@@MontuckyGirl75 take care of it is an easy response if you leave it in a studio space or room in your house. Try moving it from gig to gig over time. Being serious. Not just a weekender thing

[@MontuckyGirl75]

@@jacobm7421 I’ve been playing instruments since I was in fifth grade I’m a 46-year-old woman I know what it’s like to go from gig to gig and travel. Certain amps aren’t meant to be lugged all over I suppose. Just do your best and don’t take what I say personally. But if you can find ways to be more creative in taking care of things do it. You may even need to buy yourself a sewing machine and learn how to make a durable cover for it just like other men I know I’ve had to do with certain equipment. I wish you the best of luck with it.

[@jasonsanders5246]

Unfortunately I bought this Amp. I Ave used it very little. It quit working for no apparent reason. I took it to the music store for repairs. Fender does not offer any parts. Basically it's a throw away. The power supply is bad and no replacement available. Very disappointed in Fender on this one.
