Good review, but I wish the vocal / mic side was covered too. As a singer songwriter I’m interested in both guitar and vocal performance. This is only half a review really.

[@weed491]

I like it it, but in the history of all acoustic amps, there has never, ever been a review of the vocal side, or plugging an electric into one, kinda strange to me.

[@jeffnorris6360]

Glad you posted this. Was about to make the same comment. Why does no review for any amp ever show the vocal channel?

[@larrydering1598]

I know we all use them to sing but if my guitar doesn't sound right I don't want the amp. There is lots of vocal demos on various amps. I need great acoustic sound 1st.

[@AndyNormanPhotography]

No idea why no-one talks about the vocal side of this amp. I've been using one for guitar and vocals in a wine bar and it sounds perfect for both. Weighs next to nothing and is fairly cheap. Great little amp.

Is this have to microphone input and can I use mic for my acoustic guitar instead pick up?

[@alexgee9412]

Sounds really sweet. Love the recording with USB aspect. Very handy.

[@kennyscp]

can i use electric guitar?

[@samnarjinary]

sounds very beautiful!!!

[@tokairic3925]

I don't think he did the Taylor much justice. I've played one and it sounded much better than the video.

[@MrRafaztar]

tokairic there are more than 1 Taylor’s lol

[@tokairic3925]

@@MrRafaztar Yes I realise that, but thats obviously a Grand Pacific, possibly a builders edition, V braced with the angled back braces. Its at least an all solid 317, possibly a 517 or (as he is also playing a Lowden) a 717. Any of those guitars sound much better than the video implies - Yes I have played the 517 and 717 Grand Pacifics at my local dealer when considering my next purchase. If Icould be bothered to study the fret inlays I could probably name the series more accurately. I am a little obsessive about my guitars.....sorry.

[@MrRafaztar]

tokairic well done mate, I am speechless. This was a well done argument. You are most likely right

[@tokairic3925]

@@MrRafaztar Thanks, as I said, I am a bit obsessive. Just looked again at the inlays. If I had to put money on it I would say it's a 517ce Builders edition. Now back to playing instead of obsessing. Cheers.

[@PaulWilliamGibson]

Look forward to your video playing it and making it sound better then.
