This is not a good review. I'll tell you why. Anyone can play so gently on the guitar, lovingly coaxing nice warm reverby tones. But no one plays like that. And I have been in my studio, with a loudbox, and a martin hd28, and a gibson hummingbird, and and old guild, all with varying different vintages of brag or fischman pickups, and I am frustrated by this amp. It feeds back at low volumes. Yes, I'm playing around with the feedback control dial (which is a sweep, not high low) and the phase switch. But really, if you are a performing musician, you're not hitting one note and letting it ring. You're playing the friggin' chords and there is a band behind you. Feedback with this amp is a pain in the rear. I realize it is probably top end, but I will likely end up spending yet more money on an EQ pedal to somehow get the tone/feedback/volume trifecta under better control. I'm also playing with one of those rubber jobs in the soundhole to try to control feedback. If you use the mix-out, you can go into the PA, but my experience at a gig the other night is that even then it will feedback into the monitors. So there. This amp may be part of your acoustic solution, but it still takes work to make it work.
The electric guitar sounds great with the Fishman Loudbox Performer. Would you be able to do the same with the Fishman Loudbox Artist?
I heard the first notes and thought to myself, this guy is gonna play Indiana Jones! And then no.
I wonder why no one reviews the vocal side of the amp. It is equally important.
Thank you! I have the Performer and absolutely love it! I'm mostly an acoustic player, but I honestly didn't consider that I could run my electric through the Performer. I really appreciate you breaking that down. Considering buying the Charge for friendly jams as well. Fishman is the best!
Will Fishman artist sound good all on its own or would you recommend external effects
Finally a very clear comprehensive review of the whole range. Very well done.
I love my Loudbox mini, but all the Tolex flaked off of it even though it has never left my house. I contacted Fishman and they will fix it if I pay to ship it twice (TO THEM and BACK TO ME), plus $50 for the repair. I would probably have $100 total cost in the repair. If Fishman cared about their customers, they would not make this so expensive to fix. This is the worst "thin vinyl" covering I have ever seen on ANY amplifier. It you touch it with your fingernail, it comes right off.
Fantastic review, I changed notifications to ALL, and shared this on my community page. Big thanks!
I’m in the market for one of these and the timing is perfect
