The Science of Acoustic Amplification: Transparency & Control
Unlike electric guitar setups, acoustic amplification requires a flat frequency response, similar to a high-quality PA system. Acoustic instruments produce a wide range of frequencies, from deep, resonant lows to sparkling, delicate highs. A dedicated acoustic amp utilizes full-range speakers and specialized tweeters to ensure every frequency is reproduced with absolute clarity and transparency. Furthermore, acoustic-electric guitars are highly prone to feedback when amplified. Modern acoustic amplifiers feature advanced feedback control systems, such as phase switches and notch filters, which target and eliminate problematic frequencies without altering your overall tone. Most models also feature dual-channel layouts with XLR inputs, allowing you to plug in a vocal microphone alongside your guitar, making them the ultimate all-in-one gigging solution for solo performers.

Every amplifier is thoroughly tested, safety-checked, and play-tested by our in-house technicians before being listed for sale.

Frequently Asked Questions About Acoustic Amplifiers
Why do I need a dedicated acoustic amp instead of an electric guitar amp? +
Electric guitar amps are designed to color, compress, and distort your signal, which will make an acoustic-electric guitar sound harsh, muddy, and highly prone to feedback. A dedicated acoustic amp features a flat frequency response, full-range speakers, and tweeters designed to reproduce the natural, transparent voice of your acoustic instrument with absolute clarity.
Can I plug a vocal microphone into an acoustic amplifier? +
Yes, absolutely! Most high-quality acoustic amplifiers (such as the Fishman Loudbox, AER, and Acus models) feature a dual-channel design. Channel 1 is optimized for your guitar's pickup, while Channel 2 features an XLR/jack combi input with phantom power, allowing you to plug in a vocal microphone. This makes them the perfect, compact all-in-one PA system for solo performers.
What is feedback control and how does it work? +
Acoustic guitars are highly prone to feedback because the hollow body vibrates in response to the sound coming from the amplifier. Acoustic amps feature specialized feedback control tools, such as phase switches (which change the relationship between the guitar and amp sound waves) and notch filters (which allow you to surgically cut the exact frequency causing the feedback without affecting your overall tone).
Do you inspect and test your used acoustic amps? +
Yes, absolutely! Every single pre-owned and used acoustic amplifier undergoes a rigorous multi-point technical inspection, safety check, and play-test by our in-house technicians before being listed for sale. We ensure that all pots are clean, the speakers and tweeters are healthy, and the inputs are performing optimally. We back all used amps with our full 12-month warranty.
The Acoustic Amplification Guide: Preserving Your Natural Voice
When shopping for acoustic amplifiers, many players assume they can simply plug their acoustic-electric guitar into a standard electric guitar amplifier. However, electric guitar amps are designed to color and distort the signal, which will make an acoustic guitar sound harsh, thin, and highly prone to feedback.
Dedicated acoustic amplification systems are built like miniature PA systems. They feature full-range, flat-response (FRFR) speakers, high-frequency tweeters, and ultra-clean preamps designed to reproduce the full frequency spectrum of your acoustic instrument—from the deep, woody resonance of the body to the sparkling chime of the strings.
Key Features to Look For in an Acoustic Amp
- Dual Channels (Guitar + Vocals): Most premium acoustic amps feature at least two independent channels with combo XLR-1/4" inputs. This allows singer-songwriters to plug in both their guitar and a vocal microphone simultaneously, with independent EQ and volume controls for a complete, self-contained performance rig.
- Feedback Control (Phase & Notch Filters): Hollow-body acoustic guitars are highly sensitive to low-frequency feedback on loud stages. Look for amps equipped with phase switches or sweepable notch filters, which target and eliminate feedback frequencies without coloring your overall tone.
- Built-In Digital Effects: High-quality, subtle effects—such as studio-grade reverb, lush chorus, and warm delay—can add incredible depth, space, and dimension to your acoustic performance.
- DI Output & Phantom Power: For larger stages, a balanced XLR DI output allows you to send your mixed signal directly to the house PA system. If you use condenser microphones, ensure your amp provides 48V phantom power.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I plug a vocal microphone into an acoustic amp?
Yes, absolutely! Most premium acoustic amplifiers feature dedicated dual channels with combo XLR-1/4" inputs, allowing you to plug in both your acoustic-electric guitar and a vocal microphone simultaneously, with independent EQ and volume controls.
Why does my acoustic guitar feedback through the amp?
Hollow-body acoustic guitars are highly sensitive to sound waves bouncing off the soundboard, which causes low-frequency feedback. To prevent this, we recommend positioning the amplifier slightly to the side or in front of you, using a feedback buster (soundhole cover), or utilizing the built-in phase switches and notch filters on your acoustic amp.
Does my acoustic amplifier come tested?
Yes. Every amplifier purchased from MusicStreet receives a professional, custom inspection and safety check in our in-house workshop before dispatch to ensure it runs quietly and performs flawlessly.
Can I try these amplifiers in person?
Absolutely. We welcome you to visit our independent showroom at 10 Chequers Court, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. You can bring your own guitar, plug into our test amplifiers, and get honest, expert advice from our team of working musicians.
