Stopped into a new music shop today to have a look around. #Was greeted by the familiar sight of thousands of guitars and not a single mando ... oh well.
Anyway, happened to have my Godin (acoustic with built in piezo pickups) in the car and before I know it I was talking to one of the sales guys about getting an acoustic amp for it (which I've been meaning to get for a while but haven't really got the funds for). #Got hooked up to an AER alpha acoustic 40W amp. #To my inexperienced ear it sounded pretty darn sweet. #Price tag was 370 english pounds (about $550 bucks i think). #It seemed to have all I would need for a small gig and a line out for the PA in a bigger setup. #Also nicely portable.
I didn't try any others and I think this was the best one they had in the shop.
I don't know much of anything about amps, and didn't find much mention of them on a search through the message board here. #I don't play regularly in any sort of band. #I'd like to get an amp partly to aid in recording, partly for playing in pubs and partly because its fun to play it loud sometimes! #Somehow I thought finding a nice amp would be a lot harder than this. #Are there others things I need to know or should I start saving for the AER?
