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.

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. 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. Ease of Use: Very easy to use. Pretty straight forward. 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. Manufacturer Support: Don't really know. Have not had to use so far. The Wow Factor: Visually this amp looks awesome. Not my wife but it its a "CALIFORNIA BLONDE". What more can I say. 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.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Of the acoustic amps I've tried, I find the California Blonde comes closest to reproducing a realistic acoustic sound. This is the sound I was looking for. I find the 'Blonde has all the power I need. I've played it in a variety of venues have always been pleased with the performance both indoors and out. I use it as a simultaneous pa system. All the guys in the band always want to use my 'Blonde. I love it.
