SWR California Blonde II Acoustic Guitar Amplifier (160 Watts, 12 in.) Reviews
10 out of 10
"Great Natural Sound"
Feature:
Has all any acoustic amp needs. If you would like more effects the amp works well with effects pedals or multi effects units. Has a great effects loop and you can easily D.I. to any sound system and not lose any of the California Blondes tone.
Quality:
Built very well. Quality construction and Quality sounds
Value:
This amp may seem pricey to some, but there are quiet a few acoustic amps out there for more Bucks and does not sound as natural as this one.
Desirability:
Visually this amp looks awesome. Not my wife but it its a "CALIFORNIA BLONDE". What more can I say.
Sound:
I have over the past 12 years I have either owned or tryed out just about every acoustic amp out there. To me the California Blonde II reproduces the Natural Sound of my 1996 Taylor 812C with a active Ibeam pickup better than any I have tryed out. A little heavy but well worth it for the tone.
Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. Pretty straight forward.
Support:
Don't really know. Have not had to use so far.
Overall:
I love this amp and I think I will own it for a long time, however like all musicians I'm always open to looking at new products and idea's.

"Awesome!"
Sound:
The best at reproducing the actual sound of my Breedlove Pro 25c of any amp I tried out and there were many. It is pricey but the sound makes it worth every penny.
Overall:
I will always search for improvements in any of my equipment, however I think this amp will be with me a long time.
