The Fishman Loudbox Mini Acoustic Guitar Amplifier Combo is a lightweight and portable combo for acoustic guitarists/vocalists offering professional features, reliability and rugged build quality.
Loudbox Mini delivers the tonal quality that has made the Fishman name the standard for great acoustic sound, delivering 60-watts of clean acoustic power. It has two channels featuring Fishman’s legendary pre-amp and tone control designs, plus digital reverb and chorus for the instrument channel and reverb for the microphone channel. The Loudbox Mini also features an MP3 input and balanced XLR D.I. output.
The main features of the Fishman Loudbox Mini Acoustic Guitar Amplifier Combo include;
The Loudbox Mini is, in my opinion, the best small acoustic amp in its price range. It offers extremely good volume and tone, with excellent (digital) chorus and reverb. The sound is very full, clear, and avoids the harsh tone that some acoustic amps seem to provide.
I use it as monitor going into a PA system at a large church, and Ive gotten great compliments over my tone (use it with a Martin D15 and Fishman Matrix Infinity). The three band EQ works well, though I use a separate EQ pedal and compressor. The DI out is a really good feature too.
Just two small drawbacks: the cabinet seems to be made of a fairly soft material, so its fairly easy to mark, and the XLR input does not provide phantom power.
However, the biggest plus (in addition to the wonderful reproduction of your guitars tone!!) is the size and weight. I can carry this, my guitar in a hard case, and my pedal board in a single trip.
This little beauty packs out 60 watts of clean sound. Digital reverb and chorus for the guitar, and reverb for the mic. with a 3 band e.q.. The tone of this amp is something I have looked for over many years, its just superb.
Its ideal for home use or small gigs, with a balanced XLR D.I. output, so you can record from it, or run it through a desk if you need to. It has a 10 degree tilt, so you can see the controls without having to strain your neck too, a nice little touch.
It also has two auxiliary inputs (1/4" and 1/8"), for you to play an mp3 or cd player through, so you can jam along with your heroes, or just learn a phrase or riff.
The vocal reproduction is brilliant, so much better than I had dreamed of. This has to be the best value for money small amp on the market, I just cant get over the sound from it
