When designing amplifiers for acoustic guitar, while many
of the functions and features may differ from their electric
guitar counterparts, the same appreciation of tone is
essential, as is listening to customer feedback. As a direct
result, innovative features, clear and natural tone plus
stylish looks are what our acoustic combos are all about.
The AS Series acoustic amplifiers allow you to express
your emotions with passion.
AS50D Combo
The AS50D is a 50 Watt combo housing2x8"custom voiced speakers
and asingle high fidelity soft polymerdometweeter as used on the
AS100D, a combinationwhich allows for clearand detailed sound
reproduction across theentirerange. This compact and highly portable
combo features two channels, each of which has its own independent
volume and tone controls. A variety of inputs give the AS50D the ability to
handle all-comers: the high impedance input on Channel 1 is perfect for
piezo or magnetic pickups. Channel 2 boastsRCA phono inputs plusa
balanced phantom powered XLR type input in addition to its jack input,
making it the perfect host for voice, instrument or even backingtrack.
The AS50D also contains a high qualitydigital effects section featuring an
adjustable Choruswhich is assignable to either or both channels.
The studio quality naturalsounding digital Reverb and theparallel Effects
Loop can bebalanced between the two channels.
One of the most difficult aspects of amplifying certain acoustic
instruments is feedback. Therefore, anti-feedback controls includea
Phase switchand a frequency controllable Notch Filter. Another useful
AS50D feature is an internal Limiter which allows you to drive the
maximum level from the50 Watt power stage, yet remaindistortion free.
Neat and affordable, flexible and portable, the AS50D is ideal for the
acoustic musicianwho wants anamp which isperfectly suitedto
intimategigs.
AS100D Combo
For the acoustic player who wants it all, we offer the comprehensively
featured and powerful AS100D – a 50 Watt + 50 Watt, 2x8" combo with
two high fidelity polymer dome tweeters. The AS100D has been
specially created for use with a variety of acoustic instruments and now
boasts new and improved speakers conceived by our design experts
in conjunction with Celestion. Between its four channels, this combo
has the flexibility to handle instruments with piezo transducers or
magnetic pick-ups, plus microphones, for both vocal and instrument
reproduction. For those using two pick-ups via a single stereo jack, the
two main Acoustic Channels (1 and 2) can be linked together via a
‘Link’ switch, affording you independent Volume and EQ controls for
each pick-up.
The other two channels are a dedicated Microphone (Ch.3) andan
Auxiliary (Ch.4), the latter of whichhas phono (RCA) stereo inputs
specifically for use with external audio equipment. The AS100D also
houses an internal limiter to ensure you can achieve maximum output
while your soundremains distortion free.
Even though the AS100D’s50 Watt + 50 Watt stereo configuration offers
more thanenough power for manytypical acoustic music venues, a
stereo pair of balancedXLR DI Outs and Line Outs allow you to connect
directly to an external PA system for larger venues. When playing live,
one of the most difficult aspects of amplifying acoustic instruments is
unwanted feedback. Tohelpeliminate this, the AS100D features several
anti-feedbackcontrols. These include an individual Phaseswitch on
channels 1, 2 & 3plus two frequency controllable Notch Filters with
selectable extra depth for channels 1& 2.
The superb quality of the sixteen built-in,adjustablestereodigital effects
(10 Reverbs,Delay, Chorus and more) adds an entirely new dimensionto
the already wide range of sounds this professional combo has to offer.
Additionally,there is also a stereo ParallelEffects Loop, complete with
Level Control,on the rear panel.
Compact and portable, the stylish AS100D offers great flexibility and is
the ideal amplifier for the acoustic player who wants the highest quality
performance with absolutelynatural tonal reproduction.
