AER was approached by Monte Montgomery to develop an amp that suits his powerful, loud, dynamic, and effects-centric playing style. Monte's percussive - almost physical - attack required a relaxed amp offering plenty of headroom with effective but understated dynamic control and a sound reproduction that blends the directness and attack with a milder, melodic character.

The result is a 200 watt acoustic guitar amp featuring 2 x 8" Twin Cone Speaker System, UNIV-250 Class A/B Power amp-module used in 2 x 100 W mode, Two Channels, 1/4" and XLR, Four Digital Effects, Direct Out with Level, Effects Loop, Headphone Input, "Monte Mute" footswitchable mute button.

- The "Monte Mute" switch: a feature indispensable for Monte's needs. Push a button and the amp is muted
- 2 x 8" Twin Cone Speaker System Offers a strong defined mid-range and a tight low end - easily capable of live sound pressure levels.
- UNIV-250 Class A/B Power amp-module used in 2 x 100 W mode specially designed to handle high impulses, the amp handles multiples of its stated power over the first decisive milliseconds to allow the signal, the impulse, to… read more pass without distortion. read less
