Pros: Metal grill, "blackface" console, strong handle
Cons: No speaker-stand socket
One wants to hesitate on putting 5 Stars on the Value of this amplifier, but, when one considers buying TWO amps to do what this amp alone does, the value becomes obvious. First of all, the AER amps are built with uncompromised quality. If one has played the acoustic models one will find that same sturdiness and clarity as in those models. Second, the POWER in this little amp works for ANY kind of live playing, of acoustic or electric guitar. Third, with this one amp one can quickly move from a Selmer-type guitar to a Taylor ES to a Stratocaster or a standard jazz guitar with one or multiple pickups and be ready to play with a minimum of fuss, And in the studio, all the sound one can set up can be directed to a recording console or DAW through the direct-out jack or by microphone on the speaker. Quiet and powerful. I expect many years of service and fewer pieces to transport or set up.
