Fender Acoustic Junior GO ampli guitare acoustique 100 watts
I normally use a Roland AC-33, which I really love because I provides the absolutely perfect sound for my western guitars as well as the classical nylon. However, I wanted a second, bigger acoustic amp for live performances as the Roland AC-33 ist just a little bit too small for a larger room or outdoor performances. My choice fell on the Fender Acoustic Junior Go because of the very handy built in Li accu feature.
Maybe its because I am not really a Fender guy but I wasn't happy with the sound. Its too boxy and too tight for my taste. I sorely missed the vibrant, clear definitions of the Roland. Furthermore, Fender built a number of effects into the amp, however, its just not understandable to me that its not possible to select the reverb and the chorus at the same time. What were the folks at Fender thinking.....no idea, but it looks to me like this amp was conceptualised to be sold in large volumes to beginners. In my humble opinion, any decent acoustic amp has to have a Chorus and a Reverb built in and available to be used concurrently. Instead, Fender added a number of additional effects that may be useful once in a decade, such as an echo. What's more, the quality of the effects are not the same level as the Roland. Especially the chorus sounded a bit artificial to me and didn't give me anything close to the bright, shimmering tone that Roland/Boss have.
What I did like about the amp is that it did have the built-in accu and that it provides 100 Watts in a compact format, and the built in looper (for which you really need a foot pedal to be useful, which you need to buy separately at a price). If you don't care as much about the sound as I do and you need to quite a bit of power for larger venues or outdoors this Amp actually could be a good choice for you.
I have sent back the Fender amp and I am going to try the Boss Acoustic Singer now. With Boss and Roland being the same company my hopes are high that I get the sound from the Roland in a bigger amp.
