Fidelity & Flexibility
Quality:
This is a solid unit.
Sound:
The high end on the ac150 is crystal clear and very true. The mid-range is robust and very well balanced. There is shimmering transparency at all volume levels...very pure.
Reliability:
Too soon to tell.
Overall:
This is a very,very good deal. HONKS!
If you are looking for an all-around performance/practice/monitor, you've come to the right amp.
Tone:
It sounds just like I intend to sound only louder...the fidelity is excellent.
Finish:
Rich brown tolex and gold knobs...looks good.

Quality:
It seems to be of good quality
Sound:
Sounds pretty good. I just wish that the vocal input had a bass and tremble knob like the guitar side does. Also it would be nice if you could split the effects, you have to use the same one on both channels and you can only set it one way.
Reliability:
I have had mine about 2 months and have played it on about 10 gigs so far, I have not had any problems so far.
Overall:
It is a decent acoustic amp.

Hartke AC150 Acoustic Combo
Quality:
The quality of this amp is excellent. No issues.
Sound:
The sound quality of the amplifier, in my opinion, is excellent. The 100 24-Bit Built-In Stereo Digital Effects are excellent and very usable. There is no diddling with effect knobs and switch to achieve the effect that will suite your style. I'm confident that you will find several effects that will work for you.

Reliability:
No reliability issues to date. Also Hartke offers a 3 year warranty with this amp.
Overall:
First, I do not profess to be an acoustic amp expert and this review is my opinion and evaluation of the Hartke AC150. I play an Ovation Acoustic Guitar and I love the sound of this instrument. I also own two Fender Blues Deluxe amps, Three Reverend electric guitars, i.e., Roundhouse Flame Maple Top, Manta Ray Sun Burst Flame Maple and a Warhawk II. I have been playing for about 20 year and I'm amazed at the advances in acoustic amp technology and the integration of effects with the acoustic amp. I don't believe you will be disappointed with this amp. The AC150 very intuitive and the manual is very well written.
Playability and Feel:
N/A
Tone:
The AC150 has a 5 band QE plus a bass and trible tone control and can reproduce the sound of your acoustic instrument with any noise or distortion. Excellent tone. Buy a good quality instrument cable because acuostic instruments have a much higher frequency requirement than electric guitars.
Finish:
This is a very sharp looking amp with no finish issues.
Action:
The AC150 worked great out of the box, no issues.
