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.

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!

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

I have put this amp through the ringer during live shows, practices and transport. Every thing still works great.

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.

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.

Perfectly Clean Sound and loud. The effects are adequate.

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.

It's easy to use.

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

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

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.

I stepped up from the Mini and am blown away by the improved quality of the sound. I gig an acoustic guitar and sing; this Amp cuts clearly through room noise whenever you need to make an impact!

Mor features than I will probably ever use.

Sturdy heavey duty construction.

The only cheaper prices I've seen have been on used Amps.

Havent had need yet.

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.

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

Again, nothing special at all.

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.

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.

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

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