Powerful, professional quality sound in a lightweight, portable package.
Designed for the singer/songwriter, the SA220 Solo Performance System combines a PA and acoustic guitar amp in one powerful, yet lightweight, system—providing exceptional sound quality and coverage in a wide variety of venues. 220 watts of clean, lightweight power drives a line array of six custom high-excursion speakers and a soft-dome tweeter. This unique combination delivers incredibly full sound, ultra-wide dispersion, and deeper sonic penetration than the common speaker cabinet. Better yet, the enhanced bass response of the custom-designed speakers means there's no need for a subwoofer.
It's a PA and an amp
With the SA220 acoustic amp, the performer and audience hear exactly the same sound, meaning there's no need for separate wedge monitors or a combo amp backline. The SA220 is voiced for the singer/songwriter, acoustic instruments and vocals are projected with superb depth and clarity.
The ultimate in portability
The SA220 weighs only 25 lb., ships complete with a padded bag equipped with wheels, and includes a rugged speaker stand. Set up takes less than a minute, with only one trip to the car. Plus full-digital universal power means that its amplification system is ready to travel anywhere in the world (compatible with international power systems).
Features that performing musicians demand
Fishman didn't make the SA220 this portable by scaling back on features or tone. It's also equipped with two mic/instrument channels featuring high-quality preamps, each with 3-band EQ, phantom power, built-in reverb, effects loop, and feedback-fighting notch filter, and phase controls. In fact, Fishman included all of the prized elements of the Loudbox family amps and added a unique monitor feature designed to revolutionize an acoustic duo's ability to hear each other on stage.

After haveing 2 back surgerys,Cancer Surgery,Open Heart Surgery,not counting 12 Stence around the heart and now a pace maker i had do choke down what i dident want to come to terms with no more shows no more carring equipment no more singing or playing the guitar in public or so i thought.
One day i came across the Bose unit pricey but sounded great but i held off and now im glad i did because along came the Fishman Solo still high in price so i thought untill i heard the quality then i knew it was worth it so i bought one a few weeks ago from Musicians Friend . It turns out i liked the features better on the Fishman there were more of them any way this is a great little system i can see it will work great for me in churches and med venue's and the quality of sound is out of this world with no feed back or at least not for me. So speeking to all that will hear if you cant do what you once could maybe you need a Fishman Solo to give you life again it sure helped me.Great Product You Cant Go Wrong In My Personal Openion.

Although I flinched at the price tag, I also am tired of buying amps by the pound. The unit is easily transported and only weighs 35lbs. I have played in small steakhouses and a large outdoor venue next to a highway (added a linear amp for that gig) and the sound is unsurpassed (everyone could hear me and yet they did not have to shout at each other). I plug an mp3 player in for backing tracks and use either a Godin or Cordoba electric classical. The sound is crisp, clean and penetrating without being overbearing. If you need a little more bottom (some "Chet" stuff does, you can monitor out to a small amp), however, I rarely need to do that. It fits into my trunk and the amp part is easily assmebled in 5 minutes (still takes me 15 because of all the gadgets). My wife liked the sound so much, she listened to all 3 verses of Sheik of Araby (usually she says it's enough after one verse). I have played Dixieland, Latino, Jazz, Acoustic Rock, and Country through the unit and achieved impressive results. Expensive, but this is no toy, it is an investment in your business.

Reviewer's Play Style: anything. mostly rock, funk, ska, alternative, etc
I borrowed this from a friend since my band was in quick need of a PA for an acoustic show. I ran a Martin acoustic this PA and it sounded pretty good. It got better when I ran the guitar though my compressor (MXR Dyna-comp) but as far as I know that's typical. It makes vocals sound amazing. It worked well for both the guy singers I play with as well as the girl. Its plenty loud enough too. The friends I borrowed the PA from use it as their vocal amp when they rehearse with their rock band. Its wicked light and takes up hardly any room. wish it cost less because I would definitely buy one.

I play solo fingerstyle guitar at a coffee house, astronomy music for my classes, and pop songs at star parties, sometimes outside under the stars. It has been a great addition to my equipment. I play a Alvarez-Yairi classical, an Ovation 12-string and an Ibanez semi-hollow body. All three
guitars sound great through the amp. It has also helped me with my vocals as I can hear myself singign much better than through the amps I used previously. I love it!

SOLOAMP ROCKS

Summary:
I wanted to buy a new PA system to replace my heavy Carvin amp, speakers, stands, cables etc that I had been schlepping in and out of gigs for many years. I wanted to down size but keep the power and full sound spectrum coverage that I had with my component PA system! Answer… Fishman SOLOAMP! WOW! I was a bit apprehensive but decided to give it a shot and was quite nervous because the first gig with my new SOLOAMP was outdoors at a "Margaritaville" pool party. Over 120 people attended and man, did the SOLOAMP ever come through big time! I never turned the master volume up past 4 (almost half). In fact I turned it down after the first song. People were coming up to me and asking "where is all that sound coming from?” I would point to the SOLOAMP and say "pretty amazing isn't it"? The digital reverb is one of the best I have ever heard. Setup was a breeze, load out was even easier. My biggest fear was that there would not be enough low-end and that the highs would border on that shrill sound that attacks that nerve in the lower neck that makes you cringe and say "ouch"! That never happened. The sound was amazing; great robust lows and clear mellow highs. GET ONE! You won’t be disappointed.
Positives:
Sound
Portability
Set up and take down
Digital Reverb
Phase
Feedback Suppression
The Bag
Recommendations:
The bag should be a little bigger with more pockets for my gear.
The bag needs a wider base and in-line skate type of wheels for added stability.
SOLOAMP gets a 4.5 out of 5.o only because the bag and case need some redesign.
