Marshall AS50R Acoustic Guitar Combo Amp

Guitar Combo Amps

The AS50R is both compact and portable and features 2 channels, each of which boasts its own independent volume and tone controls. The variety of inputs gives the AS50R the flexibility to handle any acoustic instruments with transducer pickups, such as magnetic or Piezo [channel 1], or microphone for vocal or other instrument reproduction [channel 2]. Also a pair of phono inputs on channel 2 allows the reproduction of backing tracks.

REVIEWS
Feature:
I has 2 channels which is good. It also has a DI out, which I use frequently. It also has Chorus and Reverb, which I enjoy.

Quality:
Everything seems to be good quality as far as I can tell. I have had no problems with quality.

Value:
I think that even though I have some complaints about the sound and about the volume limitations, it is still a good value for the money. I don't regret purchasing it.

Sound:
I do own this amp, so I've played through it a lot. (I play Taylor guitars.) It sounds pretty good at lower volumes. It doesn't preserve the sound of my guitar (though most of the problem has to do with piezo pickups, which are not good because they change the sound of the guitar, and I hate them), though it does a better job than other amps in the price range, like the Fender Acoustisonic. It doesn't do too well at higher volumes, but what can you expect from a small amp. Sometimes I'll use it as a monitor. The chorus sounds good.

Overall:
I think it's pretty good overall, considering the price. I am happy with it for the most part.
