Overall: This thing has amazing sound quality. My Martin DCPA4 and Shure PG 58 sound incredible through it. If you are looking for huge bass out of the box than this unit isn't for you. However if you are like me and need a loud, clean ,very balanced sound then this could be your ticket. I either play by myself or with up to 3 backing vocalist. So I use a small unpowered mixer for vocals only on channel 1 and my guitar on channel 2. I play mostly smaller venues but occasionally up to 300 people. But they are typically more intimate shows without rowdy crowds. Wedding ceremonies , receptions, parties, small clubs and family get togethers that are acoustic shows. I appreciate it's incredibly fast set up time and ease of portability. It allows me to not get stressed about my arrival times and getting there early to do sound checks. Seriously an idiot could get an amazing sound from this thing in 3 minutes. The eq is perfect, the adjustable tweeter level and auxiliary inputs are great. The reverb is very musical. With my gear I have an incredible amount of headroom. I can stand directly in front of it while playing to tweek sound and not get feedback in small rooms. The antifeedback controls work perfectly. I love the height of the unit, as it seems to project clear sound over great distances and the small footprint keeps it from being in the way. I am very satisfied with the workmanship and thought put in today the unit. If I could have one thing it would be a little more bass response. Although it's not an issue while performing acoustically it would be nice for mp3 playback during intervals. But it's solid and it's not an issue for me.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: A very warm sounding guitar/PA setup that produces a full tone with plenty of clean bass response. The tone of this system is big in comparison to its light, small size! Feature: The controls have a decent selection of reverbs and EQ. The EQ sounds very musical for guitar. I plug-in my Fishman Aura-equipped Martins or my Gibson J-45 and RainSong DR1000 with Aura Dreadnought Pedal and can EQ the guitar tone using only the systems onboard 3-band EQ. Ease of Use: A versatile system that's easy to transport, setup and use. Quality: The Fishman SoloAmp seems quite well made and is easy to transport in its rolling gig bag. I've read a few comments from users saying they've experienced some ripping of gig-bag straps away from the nylon-woven fabric. I've not yet experienced this and hope not to as I'm very careful with my equipment. Value: Excellent value given its power, portability and tone! Manufacturer Support: Every time I've contacted Fishman about product information or other questions, I've always received quick and helpful responses. The Wow Factor: Definitely a product that'll make a performer smile and feel good about owning and using it. Overall: I could see possibly adding another Fishman SoloAmp to increase sound penetration and dispersion for bigger venues. A single SoloAmp is a very useful system for small- to medium-sized venues.

Overall: Amazing amp for Solo applications that require guitar and vocals. Only thing is the pop I get from "P" words that result to vocal clipping. So I just run it through some equipment to clear that problem but if it had something built in that would have been awesome. Easy to put away and set up! Its amazing what sound this thing puts out and it really brightens up the sound with the built in reverb. I enjoy the speaker and it has been a blessing to my music ministry. The shipping what REALLY quick. I was expecting a week and it was here in a couple days. Guys were great over the phone and I am very pleased this far! Thanks.

Sound: I use the soloamp for my acoustic gigs. I play country,folk, and some old rock. I am in my sixties and bought this because of its sound and light weight. I also have a Fender SFX acoustasonic amp. I prefer the fishman for its portability. I run a fishman equiped Gibson J200 and a Seagull Maritime with a fishman ellipse and both sound great through this amp. I also use a fishman chorus pedal for a fuller sound. For my vocals I use a digitech delay and the onboard reverb. The soloamp has a surprising amount of bass and when linked with a powered sub sounds incredible for larger venues. Feature: The only thing I would like to see in the soloamp is a delay. Ease of Use: For fingerpicking I turn off all tone controls. It is easy to set up your sound because no monitor is needed. What you hear is what the audience hears. I sometimes use a condenser mike along with the fishman undersaddle pickups in my guitars and get a great natural sound out of the soloamp. There is no feedback with this amp, at least with my guitars. Value: It definitely isn't cheap, but it has payed for itself. I would rather put money into something of quality that I will like and use for a long time. Manufacturer Support: I haven't used support yet Overall: I plan to buy another one and use two of them together for larger venues or when I play with a band.
