2003 model acoustic guitar amp. Very versatile for the Folk, Pop, Noverlty or acoustic Rock & Blues styles I play.
I wish the mic input was XLR, though. I like the size, light weiaght and burnt orange color of this amp.
30-Watt RMS Output, One 10-Inch Celestion? Speaker, Spring Reverb & Analog Chorus, 2 Instrument Inputs w/ 3-Band Active EQ 1/4" Mic Input w/ 3-Band Active EQ, Sweepable Feedback Filter, External Speaker & Headphone Jacks

I bought this for a Gibson j-45 with under-saddle transducer. It sounds pretty good. Clear and well dispersed in the room. Quiet background, no noise, really. The 3-band EQ is pretty extreme. I need to work with the feedback control and find out where it works best.

I intend using this without a spare. It should do fine.
Customer Support

There is a warranty--I hope I don't need it, because everyone else who reviews this xompany says they really suck at customer support. Are you listening, Kustom???

I've been playing since 1965. I also own a Carvin AG-100, Fender Acoustasonic Jr and the huge one, a Kustom KA-35DFX, Roland JC-120, Vox Pathfinder and Passport 110 (battery operated model).
This amp will also provid one singer's PA for small gigs.
If lost, I'd buy a Prime--cheap but all right.
Of all the lower priced 30 watt amps, this has the most bang for the buck and the nicest sound.
AS with all amps, I wish it had onboard compression! So few amps do...
