"Great amp!!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
If this amp were to be stolen or lost, I would have to get a new one immediately due to the impact on my overall acoustic guitar tone and due to the fact that it is an essential part of my guitar rig.
Sound
I use this amp in a variety of live applications and it has not let me down. The sound is very good. The anti-feedback switch and phase controls work great to control feedback. I love the choice of three direct outs - one for each channel and one mixed post eq. I use this amp for small shows and practices on its own and use it as a monitor and XLR direct out when playing through the PA. - I connect my Gibson J-45 to channel one and use channel 2 for a vocal mic. i replaced my direct box and monitors and feel like I have more control over my sound. I do have to cut the mids and treble, but that is what eq controls are for.
Features
As mentioned above, I love the three XLR direct outs, phase switch, feed back control, tilt back cabinet, mute switch and the 1/4 inch aux input (use with my ipod for set breaks. Overall there are amps with more features, but all that are on this amp get used!
Ease of Use
Very easy amp to use. The instruction manual includes nice suggestions for eq settings at different volume levels.
Quality
I have put this amp through the ringer during live shows, practices and transport. Every thing still works great.
Value
I thought that it was a little pricey, but after all of the use this amp gets, I feel it is well worth the investment.
Manufacturer Support
Fishman really does have great customer support. I called an left a message with a question and got a phone call back within 15 minuets. You do not see that type of support these days.

"The Loudbox is all you need."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
The Loudbox is all you need if you are an accoustic guitar player that is part of a classic rock band or if you're just picking classical Bach. If you play a big hall, there is a Mix-Out jack that goes right to the mixer board. I'm done. Don't need anything else.
Sound
Perfectly Clean Sound and loud. The effects are adequate.
Features
Great features. The mute button lets you change instruments and use the "tuner out" jack to plug in your tuner while the band is making noise. The "Anti-Feedback" dial works great when you're cracking the accoustic. It takes out the low-rumble feedback.
Ease of Use
It's easy to use.
Value
Excellent product. Better value than Marshal, Genz Benz, VOX.
Manufacturer Support
I've had it for 6 months and played 8 gigs. No problems.
The Wow Factor
The Amp has a standard tilt of about 20 degrees which helps get the sound up over the drums and electric guitars that my accoustic accompanies. You can also use the "kick-stand" to get a 45 degree tilt like a floor monitor. It's all good.

"Terrible"

Overall: 1 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Buy one to use in the house. Don't buy it if you plan to use it live. And don't buy it if you expect to re-sell it. Years ago I bought a Crate 125-D. Too bad I sold it. It is still one of the very best acoustic amps on the market. Bought IT for $625 and sold it 8 years later for $500.
Sound
This is a over priced practice amp. I've been playing 36 years. The sound is like a "box". Fine in your living room, but doesn't meet the demands of a live venue.
Features
Controls are the same as you'd find on a acoutic amp at half the price.
Ease of Use
Again, nothing special at all.
Quality
Design flaws make themselves clear after you buy it and try to put it into use. Speakers/Amps cannot live up to the hype. The 'mixed' DI comes AFTER the main volume control! I've never seen that in all my years. The sound engineer can't stand it... or believe it.
Value
This amp would be a great value for about $250. I bought mine brand new about a month ago and can't sell it even a half price.
Manufacturer Support
Fishman say's "we're sorry", but that's as far as it goes.
The Wow Factor
Sex Appeal doesn't apply unless you're buying a amp to impress girls.
