I'm getting ready to amplify the sound of my Takamine G-335 and my Taylor 450 acoustic 12-string guitars for small gigs. I'm looking to buy a small amp with good sound for 12-string slack key for less than $350 and a pickup that can easily be mounted in a soundhole (or two) without any hassles or drilling. My local music store will be getting some Fishman amps and pickups pretty soon, including the Neo-D Passive Humbucker Soundhole pickup and the Fishman Loudbox Mini Acoustic Amp. I was wondering if any of the slackers on this website might have any experience with Fishman amps and pickups?? Thanks in advance!
I've heard nothing but good reviews about the Loudbox Mini so far. I guess I'll just have to test it out myself when it arrives at the store later this month. I'm also probably going to try out a Roland AC-33 amp, which also has rave reviews, including here. I tried out a used Crate 60 watt acoustic amp today (can't remember the model), but I was not impressed by the sound quality at all.
