Description
Docs
The highly anticipated addition to Roland’s AC-series amp family has arrived! Loaded with high-performance neodymium speakers and 90 watts of power, the AC-90 provides a rich, powerful sound while remaining lightweight for easy transport. The AC-90 employs a stereo 2-way speaker system that delivers transparent highs — great for the built-in multi-band stereo chorus — while also providing incredibly powerful low-frequency performance.

Legacy of Excellence
The AC-90 isn’t just any new amp on the block … it’s the long-awaited addition to Roland’s industry-leading AC-series amp family. Roland’s reputation for world-class sound, amazing performance, portability, and top-quality construction in the AC series are all upheld in this stunning new amplifier.

Power Performer
With 90 watts of stereo power (45W+45W) driving top-quality neodymium speakers, the AC-90 delivers exceptional full-range performance — from shimmering, crystal-clear highs to full-impact bottom end. This amp is more than capable of cutting though a wall of sound.

Anti-Feedback Control
Enjoy maximum volume without feedback, thanks to the AC-90’s sophisticated ANTI-Feedback feature. This allows you to roam the stage with confidence — even with 90 watts of powerful sound at your back.

Immersive Stereo FX
The AC-90’s onboard stereo effects benefit from Roland’s decades of industry-leading R&D. Experience the amazing spatial depth and lush sound of the stereo multi-band chorus, complete with newly developed WIDE mode. Delay and Reverb are provided as well, and can be controlled via footswitch.

Versatility
In addition to its amazing acoustic-guitar amplification qualities, the AC-90 can also function as a portable PA system thanks to its dual-channel architecture, sub output and phantom-powered Microphone input. Sing and play guitar through one convenient amplifier, with impressive power and full-range performance.

Roland AC90 Acoustic Chorus Guitar Amplifier (2x45 Watts, 2x8 in.) Reviews

11 People rated this product :
           9 out of 10

"Acoustic Perfection"
Feature:
It has a line out for a sub woofer meaning if you want to add a bass or Cello to your group you can really use the full potential low range of these instruments. Anti feedback is a mystery to me except to say it worked flawlessly. Mute button so you can tune or others can tune without adjusting the volume down which means you set it and forget it.

Quality:
Fit and finish are flawless. This is a discreet box. No one will notice it except for the great sound.

Value:
Relative to the industry standard AER it is well priced I guess.

Desirability:
Discreet powerful, silent ,no buzz or hum when not in use.If I can convince the misses I will purchase the 90 as well as the cheaper 60.

Sound:
My small acoustic trio (2 guitars and a Cello) are looking for a small venue amp to balance the power of the Cello and add a little to our voices. I'm a fairly experienced player of 25 years and currently own a Princeton Chorus. Listening to my friend an excellent guitar player fly through some classic folk songs I was impressed with the clarity and power. Even when we had half volume with a ridiculous amount of sound pressure coming out of the little box we heard every nuance of the guitar.0 distortion even when aggressively attacking the music or slapping.We were very impressed and a little disappointed as the less expensive models we looked at (Laney, Beringer) sounded muddy (god awful)in comparison. My friend is going to purchase the 60 as the 90 has more power than we need. I suggest players go to a dealer who can let them try a variety of amps starting with an AER model to establish a baseline. I felt the Rolland matched the Aer products for less money still I think both are overpriced.The Marshall AS50D (I haven't tested)looks promising as a less expensive alternative.

Ease of Use:
Great playable sound was as easy as plugging in and turning on. However there are a lot of options and features yet to be explored.

Support:
Never dealt with after service.

Overall:
Not a long term owner. After testing our band ordered the smaller 60. I might add illuminated controls , with an on off switch for dark venues. Your instruments and hard work need to be played through a proper amp save your money and invest in a decent amp. Listen to a variety of amps within minutes of each other with similar settings on your guitar.
