Hello, folks. Heres my first post, which is actually in seek of help/opinions.

I've just got a brand new Acoustasonic 100. It has a fine tone, and lots of feature. But couldn't help feeling that it lacks power. Its supposed 100W really doesn't seem pair with the output of the Marshall AS100D I've swapped it for, because of the know weight issues.

Reading through the manual, they state that this is all new technology, an ultra light/efficient new power amp, and I'm starting to get the feeling that it is not that efficient, since that rolling the volume 'till the end in small room doesn't even get your uncomfortable.

So, here's the question: does anyone else has got that same feeling over this amp?

I just A/B'd the Fender Acoustasonic 150 with an older 40W Acoustasonic Junior the other day at a local Guitar Center. I thought the Junior got just as loud and had better tone. I frankly am not too impressed with the new Acoustasonic line -- they're not horrible but I just don't think they're quite as good as their predecessors. I guess new doesn't always mean better. :|

Give it a try at a store, if possible and see what you think. I definitely liked the older Acoustasonic Junior better, but your experience may differ. I also tried the Fishman Loudbox Mini and thought it was an excellent option in the price range.

I have been stuck for 2-weeks making a final decision on a new amp purchase and need opinions. I have a price range not to exceed 400 bucks. I have narrowed my choices down to the Fender Acoustasonic 100, and the ZT Lunchox Acoustic. Anyone A/B these amps?
