MGR/Anonymous « Fender Acoustasonic Jr. »
Published on 06/25/01 at 15:00Purchased at George's Music for $499. This is a clean sounding amp when gain is on lower end. Once you turn it up feedback sets in and the guitar sounds like it's hooked to a distortion pedal (not quite as bad but you get the picture). Realistically I don't think the amp is meant for high gain playing and it serves its purpose by being a device that makes your acoustic/electric guitar shine with pride. Just don't turn those knobs up.
Cost. Reliability. Sound quality at lower gain levels. Can use mic or another instrument at same time through amp. Has adequate effects built in for acoustic guitar.
Can't turn the amp up without unacceptable distortion. Does not come with a foot switch.
Extremely well built. An amp you don't have to treat with loving care because it won't let you down.
For the cost the amp is good. Sometimes I wish I just spent the extra $200-$300 and got the higher end Fender Acoustasonic Amps for more effects, more instrument hookups, higher gain possiblities, etc.
