AER Compact 60 - 60W Acoustic Amplifier      £549

The Compact 60 was developed after the Acousticube, on which its concept is based and it helped substantially to break out of the 'boutique-corner'. They were able to prove to a bigger and increasingly more interested public that an all-round, small, powerful and yet simple complete solution for stage, studio and home use does exist and that it works up to the highest demands and standards. Known as 'Bingo' or 'Compact 60' it has found many friends around the world with its size - smiled at in the beginning - being its second strongest side. Tried out during live performance it has become the standard equipment of those musicians who value sound, simplicity and independence. This system with its 8"-twin-cone speaker-system, 60 watts of power and fully developed dynamic control within the model's small dimensions has not only found much appreciation but has also become the basis for a whole line of step by step, developed and refined AER acoustic systems. the working horse -

As everybody knows feedback can be harsh on the ear, and unfortunately with acoustic music it's more likely to happen too.

Having said that, the AS50R does have a D.I output so you could always feed that to a P.A System if need be.

The AS50R is by no means quiet, and for more intimate performances or at home, the amp does perform as you would expect, with a clear and precise sound that's still nice and warm. Having said that, the AS50R does have a D.I output so you could always feed that to a P.A System if need be. Also featured are some great reverbs and chorus FX to add nice wobbles and echo's to your sound as required!
