Year made: 2001. Accoustic amp TA25 U Accustic Combo. No headphone, no outputs, 1 balanced microphone input, 1 (phono)input for guitar.
I have an acc/elec Takamine 530 C(lh) Just reverb and chorus for guitar, reverb for microphone. I paid about 900 US for the guitar and the combo plus 1 microphone stand and a fairly good microphone (Behringer) I all suits me very good. It's perfect for a troubadour like me. I can sit in my own room an practice without disturbing my family, but if it suits me (and I'm all alone in the house) the equipment can blow my pictures off the walls. I'm satisfied! Later I may connect a line6 box between the guitar and the amp. Well-well - I say no more.

* I would use it without backup. (But I dont usually play for money)
* Have not tried it for so long time, so I really don't know.

Overall Rating

I have been playing for more than 30 years.
- If stolen, I would buy it again.
- Not sure what I like og hate about it. I come back in about 1 year..
- I wish it had an output for recording, but I would believe it will be ok with a microphone in front of the amp/speaker.(Not tried yet)
