1) Does anyone here have the Fishman Loudbox Mini 60W Acoustic Guitar Amplifier? or have you tried one out? Any thoughts on it or the other Fishman Loudbox models?

2) Other Question ... What ACOUSTIC guitar amplifier are you using and how do you rate it?

Yes, I bought the Loudbox mini and love it. Perfect for around the house, not enough for a bar. But it does have an out to send to a PA.

Crate Gunnison 60W. Great amp, plenty loud. Good effects (not great, but adequate), and a quiet line out. Good features for a stage amp, personal monitor, DI to the house system, or just to use at home.

Lower wattage amps, including the Crate 15 and 30, tended to speaker distortion before the electronics were maxed out, thus they don't have as much useful loudness as they should.

Play a bunch with your guitar plugged in, and crank them up (bring earplugs).

Totally unrelated, but does anyone recall which amp the factory was using when they demoed the VXT at the tour? Genz-Benz something? I thought it was one amp, but maybe it was two.

I use a GB Compak 300. Great for around the house and recording and if you add the extension speaker it will be enough for a small club!

I think the 8" sounds better than the 10" version.

Although the Genz has a few more features and much more power, the Fender amps have, IMHO, slightly superior DSP FX than the Genz. Since I use a pedal board, I run the amps clean so the FX features on the amps don't make much difference for me.
