Anyone have any experience with this amp? I have a Martin 000CXE
acoustic/electric I purchased recently and at the time I bought the
Acoustisonic 30 to go with it. I didn't realize the Acoustisonic Jr. existed
at the time. For only $120. bucks or so more at Guitar Center it has more
than twice the power of the one I just bought. So I'm thinking about doing a
return to get the Jr. instead.

Any comments on this amp would be appreciated.

I'm probably going to be picking up a Martin D-15 all mahogany guitar
sometime soon too. I played one the other day and I love the tone. It's a
real bargain for the money. The one I played had nice action and a really
good feel to it too. I was thinking of getting a sound hole pickup for this.
Any thoughts on that? Are they any good? Any particular one I ought to ask
about that would be stocked at Guitar Center? Just thought I'd toss this
question in too.

Thanks!

I have an Acoustasonic Junior and like it. I only play smallish places,
and it is more than adequate. It will take a guitar and a mic, or two
guitars, though the second guitar through the line in on the mic circuit
isn't as good.
I had a D-15, and liked it, but think that the 0015 is nicer. More
versatile,and a better balance.

I found the Acoustasonics way too shrill ( I play classical), and thought
they were way too hissy. I settled on an AR.Acoustic. It's very much like
the Ultrasound, very quiet and simply amplifies the natural sound of the
guitar. I thought the Fenders sounded too "processed." Ultrasound makes a
50w model that has a mic channel and Alesis digital effects, DI onboard as
well as stereo and mono line out. A fantastic amp at a great value IMNSHO.
:-)

BTW, there are now two models of the 30w Ultrasound. The practice amp model
is $149, while the non "P" model has line- and direct out for $179. Amazing
amp for that price.

I was playing one of those D-15's the other day at a shop... I usually like
smaller guitars, but it got me thinking that a dread might be a good thing
to own.

I have a Fishman Rare Earth humbucking soundhole pickup that I use with an
old vintage Martin that I didn't want to modify for the endpin jack, it
works pretty well so far. But on a D-15, why not just get something like an
I-beam or a PUTW under saddle pickup installed?

I've never played the Acoustisonic, but I dig my little Ultrasound AG-30 a
lot, and it puts out pretty good volume for the size. I think I paid $200.

Dorgan would be a good one to ask. I think he's got the 100s and
either had or still has a 50w. Hey, Ralph: I've got a rig like yours
except my 50 is reverb only. Just got a 30w for monitor, too.

Thanks Bill and everyone who replied. I just came into a little money which
is burning a hole in my pocket! So I am going to visit the Guitar Center
near me today! :-)

I am thinking I am going to go with a Acoustasonic Jr. and a Martin D-15 but
you never know. Sometimes when I go shopping unexpected things happen. I
like to take my time, browse, play and listen so we'll see...

I'll let you guys know how it goes...
