Stereo acoustic instrument combo with mic input and digital effects.

The Behringer Ultracoustic ACX1000 2x60W Acoustic Amp represents a true milestone in acoustic guitar amps. It not only gives you incredible cutting power, ensuring that your acoustic-electric guitar will slice through any mix and hold its own with the loudest band, but it also features unusually flexible voicing options. The instrument channel is optimized for piezo-type pickups often found in guitars and other stringed instruments. It includes a great-sounding active 3-band EQ plus an attack control, especially useful for fingerpicking, and two feedback controls for fast, easy elimination of problem frequencies. Separate gain and volume controls offer additional tone-shaping flexibility, while the phase button with status LED allows quick correction of the phase problems often encountered with acoustic instruments.

The second channel features a first-class mic preamp with a balanced XLR input and phantom power, a 1/4" line-level input for a second instrument, and the same EQ section and feedback controls as Channel one. Instead of an attack control, Channel 2 sports a control for the enhancer circuit, which helps you get the best out of your vocal or instrument signal. Both channels share a tube-emulation circuit specially developed for the ACX1000 and featuring a warmth control that allows you to add tube-type harmonics at will. A vintage-style meter displays the amount of added warmth.

The Ultracoustic also boasts a 24-bit stereo digital multi-effects unit with 24 algorithms that were painstakingly fine-tuned for acoustic guitar and vocals, including reverb, delay, rotary speaker, chorus, flanger, stereo panning, tremolo, and various effects combinations. Four of its 99 editable presets can be assigned to quick-access front-panel presets or footswitch selection. Last but not least, the ACX1000 offers a multitude of useful I/O options, including an adjustable stereo aux in with level control and mute function, a stereo tape I/O, a pre-effects insert per channel, and stereo post-effects insert in the master section. Plus it's the only acoustic amp on the market with a MIDI interface that allows remote effects selection and automation. In addition to its road-proven build, quality, and first-class components such as a robust power supply for plenty of reserves and headroom, it features an active, temperature-controlled cooling system and includes a quad footswitch for effects switching.

Great Amp!

I am amazed at some of the negative remarks here. While this amp does have some hiss at high volumes, so do others costing twice as much. I've been at this for over 35 years and know a good amp when I hear one. This definitely meets my criteria. I am using this for solo guitar work exclusively, and have had absolutely no problems whatsoever. My only gripe is that it's bloody heavy, but that's really too minor to complain about. I've had other acoustic amps: Fender, Ultrasound, and Fishman. The thing that I really like is the versatility. Top notch

Warning

I'll give it the benefit of the doubt, hence a "2", but my amp worked fine for about 5 minutes then it "blew" completely leaving me with a noise like a jet engine and no instrument signal at all. Might have been bad luck but I personally will never but another Behringer product. Save yourself the return hassle.

Guitar Never Sounded Better

Straight out of the box I plugged in my Les Paul. The golden tones emanating from this amp brought tears to this old Salty Dog's eyes no joke. I couldn't believe that an electric guitar could sound so musical. If you are into quality musical instrument sound, you should get this amp. I have heard none better in my 40+ year musical career.

My experience with the Behringer Ultracoustic

This is a very good amp for accoustic guitars. The effects are plentiful and responsive. I have played Martins, Guilds, Fender and Taylor accoustics through this very smooth amp without any problems whatsoever. I even ran a Strat with a delay through it for fun and was amazed at the performance! You will not go wrong buying this amp.

So much for so little.

This gadget is a great tool for me. I do coffee houses and bars and wineries/breweries, a singer/songwriter of sorts. I used to carry and setup all the PA system and usually several hauls from the carpark, upstairs too, this guy is all done in one shot with mike stand and guitar in one hand, amp in the other. The sound from this feller is good to start with and usually needs very little trimming. This Behringer combo has the power and spare headroom in all areas to cut through the noisiest crowded rooms and still be heard at the back. The "anti" feedback equipment on this amp is just fantastic to use, but again, to use it correctly, its best to read the hand book and well worth it. This amp has legs to lean it backwards, I sit it on a table and point it at the cieling which seems to "bounce" the sound to the back of the room, front of the room can usually hear anyways. There is also plenty of auxiliary ins and outs on this amp for anything else you may want to do with it. My wife loves it too as it gets me out of her hair in the evenings. Turn pro and get one yourself!
