There's been a surge in acoustic amplification of late - and its actually a tricky job to get right. Fortunately, Roland have been making guitar amplifiers for quite some time, their original JC-120 - the legendary- and somewhat weighty - Jazz Chorus combo is surely a classic, and the Cube range has brought them a deserved repuation for making compact, portable amplification.
The new and smallest of the acoustic range - the AC-33 (AC-90 and AC-60 being the bigger brothers) gives the acoustic guitarist some portable love, with 30 watts of mains or battery powered amplification with two channels, the second with mic or line input, reverb, chorus and a looper effect to boot.
Chappers - our resident stringman gets all unplugged and er, plugs in to the little feller.
