Sonnet | Jon Gomm Introduces the Sonnet Series | Blackstar

Not changed, not coloured, just your acoustic guitar - louder.
The new Sonnet line amplifies the natural response of your acoustic instrument capturing every nuance of its tone and your performance.
Each model has two independent channels, microphone and instrument, with their own EQ and reverb level settings and a host of player-friendly features such as XLR and USB outputs. The addition of Bluetooth audio playback makes them the ideal solution for solo performers or duos.
These amps are powerful, light and compact, and the built-in tilt-back stand projects the sound for any performance.
Acoustic guitar virtuoso Jon Gomm was involved in the feature and listening tests throughout the design process. Jon comments, ‘Finally, an amp that can reproduce the full spectrum of sound of acoustic instruments.’ ‘It's my voice, just louder.’ ‘All I can hear is my sound.’ Having used many different acoustic amps throughout his career Jon said, ‘Every other amp changes me, squashes me, confines me, they just can't cope. I'd given up on acoustic amps, until I heard the Sonnet.’
Natural Sound:
Hear the natural tone of your acoustic instrument through the unique Natural 60 and Natural 120 speaker. The essence of a natural acoustic tone is delivered by the custom voiced Natural speaker. Hear the clarity and authenticity of your acoustic tone the way nature intended.
Multi-input: microphone, instrument, Bluetooth, Line In | 4 simultaneous inputs:
Instrument and vocal microphone inputs, MP3/Line In, and Bluetooth connectivity for wireless audio playback. All 4 inputs can be used at once for ultimate versatility.

Maybe the best amp for acoustic guitars I've ever played and heard. You plug your guitar in and think: f**k! What is this? Where comes the sound from? It's an unbelievable natural sound, deep and bright and everything and it is true: it is your guitar - louder. As we tested it my friends and I had smiles in our faces and felt like young boys who got a christmas present they've been waiting for a few years.

[@MikaelLewisify]

Yes indeed. It is unbelievable!

[@rodolfolarrea8493]

Great review

[@MikaelLewisify]

This amp (120) is amazing. Just played my first solo gig with it last night. Crystal clear sounds on both guitar and vocals. Powerful enough to replace my full pa in most solo gig situations. Very impressed. I highly recommend it.

[@MikaelLewisify]

Update…this amp is the best musical thing I’ve ever bought. Unbelievable.

[@ZimboRai]

Is it possible to connect headphone? I do live streaming and I can't play with the volume on sometimes. I'm planning to get one.plzz reply me.thank you.

[@MikaelLewisify]

@@ZimboRai it does not have a headphone out.

[@ZimboRai]

@@MikaelLewisify can't we connect through bluetooth headphone. And thankx for ur reply.

[@MikaelLewisify]

@@ZimboRai no. You can connect a Bluetooth device to play through the amp, but the amp doesn’t transmit Bluetooth out.

[@alexgee9412]

Such an inspirational player and a super nice guy. From what I can hear, the amp sounds fantastic!

[@paulussantosociwidjaja4781]

Yup, awesomely great sound. Thank you, got to have one.

[@garyroberts-spinoutuk4874]

Brilliant

[@NetMillionaire]

I bought the 60, and it’s stunning!!

[@Blackstaramps]

Glad you like it 🙏

[@ZimboRai]

Can we use headphone in this amp?

[@RiverRoots]

Wow need to try these out!

[@JJDPROMEDIAPRODUCTION]

Checkoing you out on Apple Music. Good Music. 💯💯🙏🙏🎼🎼🎸🎸

[@monstermax22]

Sold my AER Compact 60 a few years ago, now with a new D-28 Reimagined rekindling my interest in acoustic gigs, was about to shell out £850 for a new one. But then this - how can I not try one, especially if this fella uses them. Even without trying, £349 is a steal. Doesn't seem to have the AER gig bag, but that hardly matters

[@jellofarce]

Fishman Loudbox 100 has done the trick for me, for years.

[@fredmanteghian5913]

Lowden is the best sounding acoustics when mic’d. Such a pleasure to play. I use a Fender SFX 2 amp which I love. Very curious about the Blackstar.

[@Cityloud]

Pero esas lowden cuestan un webo y la mitad del otro

[@nathanowens3]

Looks like he’s going DI out of the first amp into the mic channel on the second amp to use them both? I have one and am considering buying another one to use like this for solo acoustic gigs. No PA required!

[@sergioalvarez5949]

Wow, i always use my HT 5R when I play my acoustic guitar and it sounds great, I gotta try this amp.

[@Pumpkin-gk2oj]

Looking to buy the sonnet but can’t understand why someone would buy the 60 over the 120? All the dealerships around me only seem to stock the 60 but on paper the 120 tickets more boxes?

[@ianlarrimore8]

Thank you for having sharing Mr. Gomm's rundown of this amp. How large a venue would the Sonnet 60 handle before you'd need to start looking at sending a line out through a PA? Also, how many dB should I expect it to push out without distorting?

[@kevinrobins764]

That would be my question too Ian 👍 Obviously, I’m not playing pubs at the moment but when it happens again I would like an alternative to my current set up. Tbh .. I was looking at the Sonnet 120

[@ianlarrimore8]

[@metalfan4863]

Can't believe he got away with playing the intro to Cocoon months before it's release

[@Blackstaramps]

How amazing is Cocoon? We adore Jon

[@metalfan4863]

@@Blackstaramps it's amazing. All of Jon's stuff is. Im buying a sonnet amp as soon as I get my tax money back actually too lol Edit: Finally ordered mine Edit 2: I couldn't have picked a better amp. Im in love with this thing. I love how real and natural it sounds. I create so much and it makes me a better musician now. I will never get rid of this amp! If you are on the fence about buying this, please buy it... you will not regret it!

[@larenardshop2580]

They are not all "Crap" I know pro classical guitarists who use AER & Roland, I have not found any who are playing thro these amps ..,yet!

[@OscarBenben]

can you play this amp on the street, on battery ? And if so, does it use external (duracell type) or is that an internal rechargeable (computer types) ? thank's for your answers and keep the good work @Blackstar Amplification

[@carecabanjoman8960]

Would the 120 model handle a small .. maybe 50 people bit noisy pub/bar ?

[@caseyk6625]

Trying to decide between the 60 or 120. Is the 120 worth the extra $180? Why would someone prefer the 60 over the 120?

[@Blackstaramps]

Thanks for your comment Casey! The 120W also features a 1x8 + tweeter, anti-feedback and an effects loop for each channel! If you'd like to compare the models further please follow the link to our website, hope this has helped! 😊 www.blackstaramps.com/uk/ranges/sonnet

[@52goldtop]

Dual 48v phantom power on the 120 also, there are none on the 60, in case that matters to you and your current mics/performance setup

[@1willywonker]

are there any demos of this amp online i need to buy one. The 2 ive been looking at are the AER 60 and an amp called Acus acoustic amplifiers, your not getting better than that

[@jasonteohfitness59]

Just bought the 60, how to record sound using Android phone?

[@johnystefecek2031]

Weight? Thanks.

[@metalfan4863]

I just bought one. It says 20 pounds on my tracking info... so it could be a little bit less. This is actually my first acoustic amp lol

[@johnystefecek2031]

Shame he never did a demo just talking, you wont sell amps like that

There are other videos where he demoed

Too much bla bla

No chorus, no purchasing!

You could use a pedal. Pedals are fun. A bit of a rabbit-hole though--once you start going down, it's hard to come back out of wonderland...
