| Does anyone have one of these amps? I'm considering it for my 1860. It's a 15 watt available at http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ for 59.00 USD Open to suggestions on other amps in and around the cost as this one. Thanks |

Location: Scotland | The essential factor in an acoustic amp is plenty of power-stage headroom to keep the signal clean. 15 watts just isn't enough. |

Location: NJ | behinger has such horrible business ethics I would rather see you spend your dollars elsewhere. support a company that actually does thier own r and d instead of one that steals from every major manufacturer until they get sued.
this year at the namm show they displayed exact copies of MXR pedals and Electro Harmonix pedals. there was no mistaken them. From the reproduction of the box to the fonts used on the lettering of the boxes to the descriptions and names of the effects.
It really turned my stomach this year. I am now on a totally anti behringer crusade. I will NEVER use a piece of that company's equipment until I have no other alternative. |

As far as my own opinion on Behringer. I bought a couple of pieces early on and sold 'em just as quickly as I could. They were so noisy compared to other manufacturer's pieces (Mackie, Whirlwind and Boss were the guys I went with on those particular pieces). After that I've stayed away - better to save more money and get something quality. |

Location: Reno, NV | I have the Crate CA15 (Cimmaron). Its a decent little amp and one of the cheapest. It doesn't have much in the way of features. All you get is reverb and the standard low-mid-high tone controls. It does however, have 2 inputs each with adjustable gain, so you can "jam" with a friend with an A/E. Its not that powerful but its good enough for practicing in a small room or playing for the family. |
