Amps....

Unread post by Chadrap127 » Fri Apr 16, 2004 4:35 pm

Which amp would be better for use with an Acoustic (mostly) and an electric guitar??

This one

or this one

They are both 120W i think


or if you know a better amp, for under 450$, and that will work well with acoustic, and that is no smaller than 120W..post a link

I don't know either of those amps, sorry! I do know that I've always despised playing through crate amps and that behringer is hit and miss. But that is all my subjective opinion.

Out of curiosity.... why 120W? that's pretty frickin' loud. I mean it's probably too much to play with at full volume in a club or a small gig. And if you're playing a much larger gig that that size, then it's generally a better idea to mic. the amp at which point 120W becomes superfluous. I think you should really look at the amp's efficiency, a 50W amp can be incredibly loud if its really efficient. Conversely, a 120W can sound like a 18W cranked if it's not very efficient. Just wondering

Def the behringer. I don't own one but at my music store that is what i play the acoustics through. It has like 25 different algorithms that offer a lot of flexibility with your sound. def the Behringer!

I havent played the crate, but that behringer is just a waste of your time and money! It doesnt sound that acoustic, is heavy as balls and isnt that loud. I played maybe four gigs with it and it broke. their customer service sucks and the whole company is based out of Germany to make things that much harder. If I was you (which im not) I would go for an ultrasound 50 watt, or if you are a sucker for power the fishman loudbox is about the same price with a whopping 250 watts! Thats loud as balzac!
