Location: Michigan | Jason if you check E-Bay look at item
# 250043377619 Roland AC-60 for $399.00
or # 220040589255 for $499.00
If you feel comfortable with E-Bay that might be the way to go or see if the store you are thinking of buying it from would match the price. GWB |

Location: Kingston Ontario | I like the Genz-Benz Shenandoah 85. Single 12 with a tweeter. Tone controls are pretty flexible.
It has two balanced inputs for a couple of mikes and can be mounted on a tripod (Included with mine). It has every conceivable output to drive a board.
Two of us plug in and use a floor monitor to get a nice clean sound. You tend to loose your bottom end when it is on the tripod and the monitor makes up for it. |

However, it is pricey, a bit heavy, and rather bare bones when it comes to features. Did I mention it sounds amazing? My own humble opinion, of course. Many good amps out there to choose from. |

Location: cincinnati, ohio | Jason--
Here's another vote for the Roland AC60. Best amp I've ever had, guitar AND vocal channels, chorus, reverb, and mine has delay (I remember somebody posting his didn't have delay?). At least I THINK that's what it is. I turn this knob thingie and I sound like John Lennon on "A Day In The Life," where my voice is echoing and following itself around the room. Great sound and the light weight won't kill your back.
Also, Mark iIn Boise mentioned he saw where the amp was "marked down" to $599.00. Might want to investigate those folks-- the MSRP is $495.00, and I've seen them as low as $425.00 on sale at GC. If you get this amp, you won't be sorry. I quit using my effects box after I got it. Worth every penny. |

Just as an FYI, the link you gave is a Cube 60 which is different than the AC60. The Cube 60 is geared towards electric whereas the AC60 is geared towards acoustic. |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | yep, knew that, but just wanted to give you a ball park idea about price for used.
But let me say, at low to med volumes it'll work. To me, at high volumes that's where I really notice the difference. |

Location: Minnesota | The Cube 60 is a great little amp for the electric. Joe Walsh is known to use them quite a bit. |
