Behringer ACX900 Ultracoustic Acoustic Guitar Amplifier (90 Watts, 2x8 in.)

Feature:
This amp comes with a very well made foot switch. This amp is full of features and I personally like the Feedback detection & Reverb/Chours/Delay features very much. The design & overall look of this amp is very impressive and looks like a very expensive amplifier. The vinyl covering color is very pleasing and looks a lot like pure leather. The golden color front & rear panels & protective corners are again very cool features indeed. Yes I do agree that the volume knobs looks a little weak.

Quality:
The manufacturing quality is again very good. I did not like the noise it produces while switching off the amp. One or two equalizer's sliders LCD sometime start to flicker and by tapping lightly they become okay. Apart from these two minor faults all is very well made. I think this amp is cosmetic wise is superb but a little sensitive as far as sturdiness is concerned. However I am a very keen care taker of my equipment so no problem for me.

Value:
I found this amplfier very worthful.

Desirability:
This is one of the sexiest amplifier I have ever seen. Very beautifully made. It has a very aesthetic touch and finishing is just superb. The different parts color scheme is matchless and I simply fell in love with this amplifier. My friends are crazy with the brilliant looks of this amp. Futhermore its LCD red color lights are like diamonds glowing on a chunk of gold. Simply superb.

Sound:
I found the sound of this amp very clean, clear and natural. The sound quality is simply superb if you are using this amp for acoustic guitars & I even used it for my 12-stirng guitar with a Seymour Duncan Woody pickup arrangement & it sound brilliant. The on board effects are again very impressive & I like especially the Reverb, Delay & Chorus effects a lot. The Flange & Tremolo effects are slighly weak but I never used them as these are probably not being widely used for acoustic instruments. The reverb effects are one of the best I ever listened, you can say the quality seems equal to Boss RV-5. Delay effects are very useable and very natural and short-delays respond very well with your playing. Chorus effect is very lush and powerful. I played my guitar by switching off all the effects and it sounds very natural without any noise. I used it in some live situations & i found it very good. Equalizer is again very effective for shaping your desirable sound. The output power is quite enough for small size live situations but you can hook it up with a PA mixer with all the necessary connections available at its back panel which is a great plus point of this amp. I think if you really want to enjoy with the full potential of this amplifier then you should use a good quality electric acoustic guitar like I am using the Ovation Celebrity CS-257. You should better place it in a tilted position for better sound projection to audience.

Ease of Use:
Very easy amplifier as far its operation is concerned. The operating manual is very well printed and mentioned all the necessary points and details. I have used four different guitars on this amp and its responds very well even with a solid body electric guitar.

Support:
I have a chance to dealt with the company. Two years back I was trying to book this amp with their authorized dealer in Pakistan but the dealer was not booking the order and playing tricks with me. So I reported Behringer sales department and they verified my complaint reports and put observaiton on the dealer. On verification, they finally kicked out the unscrupulous dealer from their list and arranged a supplier for me in my country to supply my desired equipments. Now I am proud to say that I and one friend of mine is now the owners of their Ultracoustic amplifiers only with the kind help from Behringer Sales team.

Overall:
Overall this amp is a great addition to my gears rig. No I would never replace it as it completely fulfills my requirements. If this amp is stolen I would buy it again but I will select the higher model because probably I want more power. I like most about it is the beautiful design & sound quality. There is nothing whatsoever in it to my least liking.

Feature:
The foot switch is METAL tough and with about 18feet of good cable. All the features is what you will and should be looking for in an acoustic guitar especially the antifeedback control if you use harp it would be a great tool although most harp players use tube amps, they could use a pedal to boost it and use the effects for a better sound.

Quality:
Good quality Look. metal corner protecters, covering looks good. For the price you would have to go about 600 green backs in a major brand and I trialed those and the speakers are really back. The speakers in this amp does not load up with the bass and flap out. It can take the power.

Value:
Value packed as far as I am concerned, I been playing 44 years. I use all types of equipment from vintage tube to so good stuff.

Desirability:
Based on the way the product looks it has great look and I am not ashamed to put it on stage like some of the Black mechanical techno. Bolt edged looking junk. It has a nice eye appeal.

Sound:
The sound is good for 2 x 8" of these special Bugera speakers the Back is fully enclosed which is a plus for pushing the amp beside you or behide. I experimented in the studio. and Found I could Play with the amp on a stand facing me with the guitar and mic plugged in with effects and with good volume to practice and not feed back using the feedback control. Out front I could get enough volume to play a coffee house with the amp alone using the amp for the PA also. small , light weight and with separate effects for vocals and a foot pedal to control each makes it a snap! The range and dept of the effects were far more reaching that I expected. The back of the amp has plenty of pedal inputs and send plugs for recording DI's and such.

Ease of Use:
It is so easy I just cut the little picture out of the sound effects and put it on my stand every thing else it intuitive. a 5th grader could use it. It takes longer to unbox it that it does to connect it and use it.

Support:
Not yet, but I've been using the Behringer 60 watt bass amp in my studio for 5 years and it gets used for Key boards and bass a lot, no issues.

Overall:
I will use it and recommend it , get another for a back up if it gets on the road.
