In a previous forum thread, several members stated that a Trace Elliott acoustic amp was their all-time favorite for plugging in their O or A. I don't know anything about this model, but it might be just the ticket for an OFCr's home practice room.

I had one of those.....sounded really good but it had a hissy sound at idle that drove me nuts. Someone said that the hiss was normal so I traded it away for the Fender SFX. Not sure if it sounds as good or not but it is dead quite.

I think the TE that most members rave about is the 100 watt model.

These were the basic entry-level Trace Acoustic amps. They're Ok for what they are, but they're nothing to write home about. They distort easily, have limited EQ, no low end, the spring reverb is horrible and there's no balanced DI output. It's probably worth a couple of hundred dollars, but bear in mind that this is a 15 year old design, so there's better gear around these days for not a lot more.

Chris, does it hiss or is it dead quite?

Yes, it does hiss somewhat, other than that i really like it and the onboard effects.
