If I were to play a microphone AND a guitar through it at the same time, would it blow the amp? There's two inputs and a microphone input. How many inputs can I use at a time without hurting the amp? Thank yall, God bless you! ❤
I own this amp. Bought it at $200 (used) 10 years ago. I think my main volume knob POTTS is jacked. Turning it up anything past 1 or 2 it’s unbelievably loud. At least on the instrument side. I play electric guitar through it. It’s good for that!
Have 2 of them along with a Genzler Acoustic Array Pro. These old Fenders had a unique voice. A LOT of great amps with GREAT tone don't have USB, Bluetooth etc. BFD!!
No one has any review if I want to use acoustic guitar without pick up with microphone and singing? Should I use PA or acoustic amp and which one for very small group of people?
Here’s why I’m looking at getting one of these used for $150: purely to practice vocals with a mic. I’m an electric player who wants to work on singing with a mic while playing. These amps are one of the most common sense and simple solutions that I’ve found for getting my voice through a microphone and amplifying it with some reverb etc on it.
The industry doesn’t have very many simple solutions for this feat, oddly enough. I don’t need a whole big PA and I don’t wanna buy monitors or chain together 4 things to simply hear myself from a mic with some sauce on the vocal. I can’t be the only guitar player who wants to practice singing and playing amplified at the same time at home lol
This was super helpful man. Thanks! Everyone who reviews these type of acoustic/ vocal amps goes way into the guitar sound and never addresses the vocals. The used price made this one tempting but your review saves me from wasting my time. Thanks again!
I have 2 of them. My main small rig is the Acoustasonic SFX (2 x 80 watt), but it’s too heavy to move. This amp is powerful enough and has good enough effects for a quick move to a small gig. At a backyard party, I angle the amp toward me as a monitor. I can clearly hear my voice and guitar through the amp over my natural voice and my acoustic guitar. This is perfect volume for background music. Everybody 50 feet away can hear me just fine. But there is no battery power. You should try the Fender acoustic junior go because it has the five hour battery built in for ultimate portability. My main big rig is a peavy XR696F powering 2 EV S152 cabinets.
I'm getting ready to trade a wampler dual gain stomp box for one of these tomorrow.
I find it interesting down the decades that consumers compare their ability to talk about a gadget, with zero ability to design, engineer or make that gadget. It's hilarious.
I bought this amp new over 20 years ago w my birthday and Christinas money. Was able to plug in my ibanez performance acoustic electric cutaway and torture the neighborhood playing Your Body is a Wonderland and Soak Up the Sun.
I own one. It's great for my 12 string acoustic guitar. Very powerful. Bang for the buck.
DSP.
Always highly skeptical of reviews by a person who can't even get the model name right . . . this is no exception. I like my Acoustasonic Jr. largely because it makes my voice sound GREAT as well as my guitars – don't listen to Colton.
I used mine at country fairs as singer
songwriterThe voice was just fine… Not to be used on in the bedroom really as the feedback starts around 2… Basic acoustic only with just a touch of reverb works for vocals, and sometimes a touch of chorus for the guitar. Heavy though … Yep feels like the good old days!I've seen buddies do solo shows at restaurants, coffee shops, small bars, etc., and they have monitors, the guitar, the mic stand/mic, the brain with everything plugged in, etc., and I can only imagine all the stuff they lugged in from their trucks. I have the Fender AJr., and if does the job for a solo slot in a small venue. Yep, if you turn it up loud, it will feedback. However, the main reason for turning up loud in a small venue is because of the crowd and room noise, but turning up the amp will annoy the owner or manager. If there is tons of crowd noise, laughing/talking/yacking, that means nobody is really listening except your parents and your girlfriend, and maybe 1 buddy who showed up. Therefore, just keep it "quiet," accept that almost nobody cares about music. Sadly, they care more about beer and hookin' up! So, play quieter, and don't worry too much about messing up a chorus vocal or a guitar chord. Nobody is listening anyway. Accept your "free meal and $50-100 bucks if you're lucky." The Fender Acoustasonic Jr., overall, and with a good microphone, does the job! Wahi' Valleys
A very helpful review, I was trying to get more information on this amp and I'm grateful that I found your review. I definitely don't want to haul a 41lb amp around and Fender does need to stop naming things Acoustasonic, it is incredibly confusing.
I’m playin an electric through it and it sounds great
This amp is perfect for church uses. Stationary amp, works good for us
DPS. lol. It's DSP. Good review.
Some sound snippets of you playing would have gone great with this video. Great work BTW.. ✌????????
What if I used an overdrive pedal and electric guitar on it ????

One of the old heads I jam with has one of these.. I made the mistake of offering to carry it for him one day. I don’t think you got the weight right cuz it felt like it weighed 100 lbs lol.
I ended up getting a newer acouatasonic 100 watt amp and it weighs less than 5 lbs I believe. Definitely a lot easier to carry sounds pretty good too and has all the same features plus some extras as the old one, cost about the same, and also isn’t in production anymore. The new ones look like a pice of furniture that belongs in you’re house. I couldn’t imagine taking them out to gigs. People would come by and sit on it thinking it was a chair or something
Here's who it's for. And not for.
It's really not for singer songwriters in small pubs, and coffee houses.
It is for touring to near touring musicians who play on medium sized, to large stages where the acoustic guitarist in a band who uses a direct input into the PA system. Then to add to that they have some stage volume through the amplifier. Then to add to that they have a mic, or two, in front of the grill of the Acoustasonic to amplify the acoustic guitar even more. The technique of both going direct input into the PA, and putting a mic on the amp really fattens the sound of an acoustic guitar in the mix of a rock to country band. I've done it many times.
This also gives the performer that tweed/tan with a wheatstraw grill style look to his backline, that's much preferred at this time.
That's who this is for.
This has been my fail proof amp for years. It handles a full orchestral pedal harp, vocals and fx pedals and I've never upgraded nor need to. Can't fault it.
Can we use it with a violin?
Too much talk and no action, adios!
