Fishman Loudbox 100 Acoustic Guitar AmplifierThe Fishman Loudbox 100 is a potent and portable acoustic guitar amplifier producing a staggering 100 watts of power and pure tone from a sophisticated bi-amped design that redefines Fishman's already high standard for acoustic guitar amplification.
Another legitimate breakthrough in the company's 25th Anniversary year, the Loudbox 100 is designed for acoustic players who need maximum power, projection and tone shaping in a highly compact and portable format.
A two-channel amplifier, the Loudbox 100 is conservatively rated at 100 watts (RMS cumulative) and can produce 114dB SPL (1 meter) from a bi-amped configuration with active crossover and Master Volume. The Loudbox 100's Instrument Channel features extensive tone shaping with shelving style Bass and Treble, resonant Midrange and Notch Filter and Phase switch for feedback control. A 1/4-inch input with gain control, 10dB pad and Clip indicator is complemented by a dedicated effects loop and XLR D.I. Output.
A versatile Instrument/Microphone Channel includes 15V and 24V Phantom Power for condenser microphones along with Shelving Bass and Treble, Notch Filter, Phase Switch, and a 1/4-inch input and Balanced XLR input. Other useful features include a full complement of Digital Effects (Hall 1 & 2, Plate 1 & 2 and Chorus, with Channel and Master Levels); a Dedicated Effects Loop with Level control and XLR; an Auxiliary Stereo Input with Level Control; D.I. Output. It also features an Auxiliary Stereo Input with Level Control; Balanced XLR Outputs for Instrument Channel, Inst/Mic Channel and Main Mix D.I. Output; tweeter level control; a Tuner Output; Mute control for both channels and a Remote Mute Control footswitch.
Its dimensions are only 16 x 13.5 x 11.5 (40.5cm x 34cm x 29cm) and it weighs just 23 lbs.

| | | Subject: | An excellent performing amp for acoustic guitar in an electric band | | Quality:
| Small and extremely portable, this amp excels when used in a high-volume electric environment, where you want to retain the sense of the acoustic guitar in ensemble. Competing with two drummers, keyboards, bass, and electric guitar, this amp provides enough power that the guitarist can hear and be heard by the other bandmates. Mike'd, it returns a full, accurate sound to the PA mix. | | Features:
| The feedback suppression works very well, with minimal loss of tonal accuracy. A Taylor Expression System guitar required no equalization beyond the on-the-axe adjustments of bass and treble. An ancient (1965) Guild 12-string with a single-coil pickup built into it (a rare instrument, indeed) also sounded persuasive, able to shift between a good acoustic tone and, with tonal adjustments, came close to a Rickenbacker. | | Sound:
| Transparent in tone, with full range. | | Reliability:
| I've used this for about a year, and it's held up quite well. | | Overall:
| An excellent choice in acoustic amplification | | Value:
| Considering the volume it puts out, the full-feature-set, and the portability, it is a bargain-- considering the clarity of tone, it's an excellent bargain. |
