After testing various amps for my acoustic guitar: Yamaha THR 30 AC: quite good but lacking bass. prodipe natural 6: excellent but high volume subwoofer vibrations, I chose the AER COMPACT 60 IV, despite its price (especially since it went from 999€ to 1125€ overnight! )
But I was not disappointed: very well packaged, supplied with a very solid bag, the amp is light: 7 kg, and very compact as the name suggests. It has two channels and all the rear connections are very complete (effects loop). You can feel the manufacturing quality is impeccable, and the sound is of a high fidelity level. The guitar comes out with an absolutely clear sound and without any distortion, the arpeggio notes remain very balanced and distinct, the exact sound of the guitar is faithfully rendered. The power and dynamics are impressive for an amp of this size: 60 watts without saturation or unwanted vibrations. No wonder a lot of musicians use it on small stages or even in the open air (with drums). This amp is expensive, but the quality is there, I am very satisfied with my purchase.Automatically translated
