Alpha plus-ed
THERE’S a new acoustic guitar amp from the people who are the best at making these things – the Alpha plus from AER, the German company that’s been turning out state-of-the-art acoustic amplification for years.
Compact power: AER’s Alpha plus acoustic amp gets a power boost The Alpha plus incorporates some of the winning features of its predecessor, while the power stage has been enhanced to 50 watts, and the cabinet is roomier and more rugged.
Two high-impedance inputs, one of them also accommodating line-level signals, are married to a proprietary EQ circuit, and onboard digital reverb. Outputs are provided for headphones, line and DI, with an effects loop and footswitch input in the equation as well. The grille is now metal, and not foam, thus ensuring the amps stands up to rugged use.
The Alpha Plus uses a twin-cone, 200mm driver and the whole thing weighs a mere 7.55kg. A gig bag is provide to make it easier to lug around. For the dirt, call The Guitar Store (Tel 03-9133 2822 / 2300 2822).
