Feature:
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!

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.

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.

Ease of Use:
Very easy amp to use. The instruction manual includes nice suggestions for eq settings at different volume levels.

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.

Overall:
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.

Feature:
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.

Value:
Excellent product. Better value than Marshal, Genz Benz, VOX.

Desirability:
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.

Sound:
Perfectly Clean Sound and loud. The effects are adequate.

Ease of Use:
It's easy to use.

Support:
I've had it for 6 months and played 8 gigs. No problems.

Overall:
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.

Feature:
Controls are the same as you'd find on a acoutic amp at half the price.

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.

Desirability:
Sex Appeal doesn't apply unless you're buying a amp to impress girls.

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.

Ease of Use:
Again, nothing special at all.

Support:
Fishman say's "we're sorry", but that's as far as it goes.

Overall:
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.
