Epiphone Acoustic Regent 30

For it's size, it has solid features. Seperate volume controls on the dual inputs is the main reason I gave it an 8.

I use a Martin DXME acoutic-electric through it and it sounds pretty good. I also use a Shure 58 and that also sounds good at lower volumes. If I crank it, it starts to distort.

I bought it blown up, so maybe it's a little biased here. I had it practically rebuilt and my repair guy said i'd have to baby it to death if I gigged it out at all. He said everything was barely holding in place inside.

Never had to deal with them. There's no way this thing has a warranty.

I bought it blown up on ebay for $80. I got ripped, but I had it fixed. It cost me another $80 to practically rebuild the thing. Overall, for the wattage, the sound, and the price I paid,...I'd give it a 7. If it were stolen, I'd used it as an excuse to buy a better acoustic amp.

Simple -volume guitar- volume mic- 3 band EQ - reverb - AN EXTERNAL SPEAKER OUTPUT (NICE)

No anti-feedback control (Bummer) but I paid $125.00 on E-bay for a perfect unit.

I gave the 9 only because the unit has no phase/anti feedback control, but again, I paid $125.00. I play a Martin D-15 with bone nut and saddle with a K&K Pure Western (passive). The tone is very nice and it is very nice to plug a Microphone into and play lounge act in the living room. I daisy chain 2 little Kustom stage monitors onto the external speaker out and it fills the room with sound. I like the reverb. It is nothing compared to the Alesis verb in my recording rack, but it is nice for singing and playing at home. I had a low cycle feedback with my Martin so I purchased one of those cheap Danelectro EQ pedals (very quiet pedal by the way) - Sounds great!

It's a solid little solid state amp. Very reliable. Fun little amp.

I have 2 Epi guitars and this - they do a great job of e-mailing cofirmation on your warantee - very organized.

Playing now for 28 years. I own 11 guitars and an 8 track studio.
This thing is fun, The external out for a stage monitor or other speaker makes it a fun little solo performance set up. Grab your guitar and a good Shure mic and sing your heart out. I have the remnents of my old "playing out PA" but this is so simple to hook up and play/sing. I like the tone and enjoy the concept behind the Mic/guitar thing.

Solid state 2 channel acoustic amp with one channel dedicated to piezo with low and high Z, the other has low Z mic input. Odd little creature with 4 five inch speakers. Great retro-look and well made. Reverb is pathetic and no effects loop. Big draw back.

Plenty loud enough for what I use it for. I play a PR5E Epiphone through it and and have used it for vocal too. Nice clean mid-range sound but the reverb is thin and not really usable. Tiny speakers don't produce much low end but I can use the external speaker jack to run to a cabinet. The lack of an effects loop is a big hindrance as I have to hook chorus and stuff up in-line. All in all, the sound is clean and the amp is extemely noise-free, but I just wish it had a darned loop. For $150, it was still a good buy.

I've had this amp for three years and absolutely no trouble. No pops, no bad switches, no hassles. I don't know how other regent 30's are holding out, but this one seems bullet-proof.

Never dealt with them.

I've been playing for 40+ years and I own a good old Ovation Legend deep-bowl that has an incredible boomy old voice, an Epiphone PR5E that has a nice sound either plugged or unplugged, an Ovation Trekker travel guitar that has become one of my favorites because of it's playability, an old 60-ish Silvertone classical made in the USA, and an LS450 Samick LP knock-off that is an absolute dream guitar. So far, I've played all of them through this amp with fair-to-good results. I'm not really sold on the whole "it's-gotta-be-an-acoustic-amp-for-an-acoustic-instument-to-sound-good" way of thinking. I played through a Princeton Chorus and the sound was fantastic with both acoustic and electric. Because this amp is rather versatile and I could sing through it in a pinch, I give it a 7, but I think I would buy a good electric stereo chorus amp to use in bigger venues. I like it's portability and it's simplicity, so I would keep this amp and probably replace it if lost or stolen.

Channel 1: hi/lo impedance inputs; Channel 2: XLR separate level controls for each channel (no master) 3-way EQ and a slightly cheesy spring reverb

Very good for amplifying acoustic guitar (I'm actually using it for a cittern w. a McIntyre piezo pickup). Very clean and crisp w. very little noise. The overall gain level seems a bit low-with the level controls all the way up its still very clean--I'd rather have the option to go louder. I'm using it in a noisy pub situation.

I've only had it a week--fine so far.

"5 year limited warranty"--unfortunately they forgot to put the warranty paperwork in the box so I have no idea what that means

I really like this amp. For the money it is a great deal. It is very portable and sounds good for amplifying acoustic instruments. I had tried a Crate CA60 ($450), but it was very heavy, noisy, and the higher power made it very prone to feedback. The Epiphone does the job! I only wish it had more overall gain for low-level input signals. Also, having one EQ for both channels is a bit limiting; separate EQ for each channel would be nice.
