Marshall AS50R Acoustic Guitar Amplifier (50 Watts, 2x8 in.)

After many hours of serious development by Marshall's experienced team of guitar playing designers, they now proudly present the AS50R, a 50 Watt dedicated acoustic combo which benefits from many of the features so popular on the AS80R, and which marks the arrival of a new range of Marshall acoustic amplification. As amplifier technology has moved on, they have been able to develop highly efficient, clean power amps which really perform, without losing the all important portability expected by the combo player.

The AS50R is both compact and portable and features 2 channels, each of which boasts its own independent volume and tone controls. The variety of inputs gives the AS50R the flexibility to handle any acoustic instruments with transducer pickups, such as magnetic or Piezo [channel 1], or microphone for vocal or other instrument reproduction [channel 2]. Also, a pair of phono inputs on channel 2 allows the reproduction of backing tracks.

It has a built-in chorus, assignable to either or both channels, plus reverb and parallel effects loop that can be balanced between the 2 channels. Anti-feedback controls include a Phase switch and 'Notch' - selectable by a rotary control. The AS50R is loaded with 2x8 in. speakers and a high-efficiency piezo tweeter, for clear and detailed reproduction. It also has an internal limiter that allows you to drive the 50 Watt power stage hard, yet remain distortion-free.

Neat and compact, flexible, and portable, the AS50R is the ideal amplifier for the acoustic musician who wants a system as suitable for small gigs as it is at home.
