Hi guys, I recently decided to change my sound with my Acoustic act. I've been using a Fishman Loudbox Mini for the last year and while that is a great amp, it is IMO, sorely lacking as far as effects are concerned. After reading reviews all over the net, I took a chance and bought a new, Fender Acoustic 100 combo which came in last Monday from Musicians Friend. I also bought the MGT-4 Footswitch to go along with it because that opens up a lot of options that you can use which brings the amp to life. I'd post some photos but Photobucket now wants you to buy a membership in order to download anything . Needless to say, the tone and effects on this amp are really great and add a much needed improvement to my sound. Plus at a very light 17 lbs, it's a blessing at my age ( 60 ).https://imgur.com/y5EHWD0

That sounds pretty cool. 8) By the way, try this site: https://imgur.com/ it's free, and works well with the forum.

That appears to be a great choice for you. Last year I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing (just in front of me) a Grammy guitarist Wayne Johnson play through a Fender acoustic amp; although, I don’t recall the model. Needless to say, it was fine. Enjoy yours jeffo46. :D

Do not discard the shipping carton or packing materials.

Congrats on the new amp?

Or LOL @ Arjay.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

Congrats on the new amp! I have an older Acoustasonic Jr. amp and enjoy it quite a bit. Works well as an acoustic guitar amp or a small PA.

I've had the amp for well over a week now and I absolutely love it. I did discover that it works well with active pickups much better than with passive ones. I've been using my Mahogany CD-140SCE through this and using the Fishman Presys Pickup , has shown just how loud this amp can truly get . I tried using my Taylor 110 with a Duncan Woody SC and there was nowhere near as close the amount of volume projected . So last night I bought the Taylor to Guitar Center and did a Cash/Trade for another CD-140SCE in the Natural finish, so I guess I'm back to being a all Fender guy as far as my rig goes which IMO, isn't a bad thing at all.
