Although there are many acoustic amplifiers on the market today, few of them can compete with the rich, natural tone of the compact Roland AC-60 Acoustic Chorus Combo Amp. This innovative stereo amp uses sophisticated digital signal processing to deliver a crisp sound with lush stereo/multiband chorus-including a new wide mode-plus delay/reverb and impressive Auto Anti-Feedback control. And with its 2-channel Mic/Line design and standmountable configuration, the AC-60 is clearly heads above the competition.
Roland AC-60 Acoustic Chorus Combo Amp Features:
Compact stereo acoustic amplifier with pure, natural tone and excellent projection
2-channel design: Guitar input plus mic/line input with phantom power
Stereo 30W/dual 6-1/2" speakers loud enough for club gigs and small PAs
Onboard DSP delivers lush stereo/multiband chorus, newly developed wide chorus and delay/reverb with footswitch control
Built-in Auto Anti-Feedback controls allow for maximum volume without feedback
Convenient mute switch for silent tuning on stage
Stereo line out for PA and recording; subwoofer output
Built-in tilt stand offers better acoustic projection
It's fantastic sounding and wonderfully compact. Order today, you'll love it.
Roland AC-60 Acoustic Chorus Combo Amp Specifications:
This amp has cool pro-features like: sub-out, balanced stereo out, decent EQ, built-in effects, etc. It is compact. However, in the profiteering world of corporate greed, Roland once again shows us they don't care about quality. The speakers are cheap. That's something you can't afford when speakers are this small. The tweeters are junk. The amp is grossly underpowered and Roland LIES about power ratings by using low-ohmage ratings. The transformers are weak, as you will note from other reviewers who had them die on the gig.
Now here's the really interesting part! YOU CAN ASSEMBLE a VASTLY BETTER system for less money using a Tapco or Mackie mixer, a decent power amp ( like QSC) and high-quality speakers. Even if you are not a DIY kind-o-guy, you can buy powered speakers that are far superior in sound quality and reliability for the same or less money. The convenience of this nifty design is overshadowed by it's crummy execution. Roland is famous for stealing great ideas and packaging them with cheap components. This is another example of that legacy.

I have had this amp for about three years. It has everything you need for acoustic guitar and doesn't waste the space and money on the things you don't need. The inputs and outputs on the back have you covered!
The feature that is so very good on this amp is the Sub-Woofer out. Add a small Sub-Woofer (50-100 watts) and man does this thing ever sound great!!! With the Sub and AC-60 mounted on a stand, it is almost as good going through a PA system.

I am a previous owner of a swr strawberry blonde.. and I am very happy with my new Roland AC-60. First off, it is quiet. at any setting. chorus is great, wide setting is awsome. delay adds to the sound nicely but don't expect a separate pedal effect on this.. I have a uke with a passive pick up and thought I was going to need a pre-amp but in piezo mode it works great. plenty of volume, and I have yet to get this amp to feedback. it has more functions than anything in it's price range. with the subwoofer hooked up it will blow your mind!!! I demo'd a fender acoustisonic 30, ultrasound ag50 ds4 and cp-100, marshall as50d and this is what I bought. I could not be happier. the sound is truly amazing. carrying case included.

If youre looking for a handy, light wheight and proffesional sound amp, this is it, for studio recording, for a small gig or a big concert you have it, with all the features like a feedback controller, the separate equalizers for guitar and microphone its just a great thing. seriously, no problem with this wonder, I just love it.
When I bought it like a year ago I tried different acoustic guitars with it, and I can say it wasn't the guitar, it was the amp.
If you have the money, get this amp.

It made a big difference

I play my Martin HD-28 in a variety of professional settings and I have tried a lot of different ways to get that natural Martin sound to come out over the PA. Mics don't cut it in a loud room, or with a larger band. I didn't want to cut a hole in my Martin or alter it any other way by putting a permament pickup in there. So I now use this amp with a Seymour Duncan woody. It really, really does the trick. I run the line-out of the back to our PA so the Roland actually serves as the direct box. It has a great sound and is really easy to use. One point I would make is that I find I need some kind of extra pedal device or pre-amp that can give me some gain, or else the Seymour Duncan is pretty quiet. I use the ART tube pre-amp/direct box. Also, I've used it with a big-muff for when we do some acoustic versions of Hendrix and it sounds really good. The delay and chorus settings on the amp are great but I find I want a little bit of help from a tube pre-amp to warm-up my sound, since we play a lot of old Dead, CSNY type stuff that has a crunch feel.
In short, this is a really fine amp. If you play professionally it will make a big difference in the quality of your sound, and the ease of your set-up. If you are all clean all the time, this might be all you need. If you do some different styles, it's still a great amp but you will probably want a well-selected pedal or two to help your sound.
