Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | Has anybody here tried out the Fishman SoloAmp? I have always liked the portability idea behind it (the price is horrendous) and wanted to try one out. I am currently using an older Peavey Ecoustic, which I have replaced the main speaker with a real acoustic speaker and added a tweeter. It sounds very nice, but is rather heavy. |

| I have an Ultrasound AG15 that I use for small venues. Sounds like a much bigger amp.

I have tried it out in the store and it sounds okay....I think there are better options for the money |

Location: New Jersey | vince, I was thinking of getting the Fishman - I AB'd it with the Bose L1 and there was no comparison IMO. So I bought the L1 Classic (or Model 1).The one thing I should have tried was the L1 compact- same price as the SoloAmp and if it sounds close to the L1 "big boys"- that would be what I would tell you to look at. Do a side by side if possible. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Roland CubeStreet... It is loud enough, very versatile, only weighs 12 pounds and runs on batteries.
and if you stand it on end you can sit on it. 
Really, it has many COSM amp simulations... But for an Ovation I just run it through the PA channel.
(Now back to the more "normal" suggestions) |

Location: Ohio | I hired Bruce Egnator to personally hand wire 4 50 watt heads so that I could create panning effects. Jim Marshall collaborated with him on the effort. Jim had to fly back and forth several times (at my expense of course). The whole thing was quite costly but totally worth it. I won’t plug in to anything else. At this point anything less sounds shrill to uninspired at best. It’s all 24 K gold wiring etc so it matches the gold trim on my Porsche. |
