Fender Acoustasonic 15 - 15W Acoustic Guitar Combo Amplifier - Suitable for Acoustic Guitar

Product Information

There were 2 channels, one for a guitar input, and another XLR input for a microphone. Each input had its own individual volume control, which really gave the useability of this amp a boost. Overall, since it’s a pretty affordable amp, there’s not much to complain about. It’s not super loud, but it’s a great combo for the money. I honestly think that it’d be really difficult to find something better at this price level. Fender Acoustasonic 15 vs Fender Acoustasonic 40 For extra ambient depth and shimmer, the Acoustasonic 15’s instrument channel features a built-in chorus effect. Fender Acoustasonic 15 is manufactured in China. Where can I find the manual to Fender Acoustasonic 15? Let’s cut straight to who this isn’t for first. It certainly isn’t for the types of guitarists who like to play big and loud, and it definitely isn’t for those that want to get buried into onboard effects before even strumming a chord.

When it was first launched in 2017, we believed that the Acoustic Singer Pro raised the bar when it comes to the best acoustic guitar amps. The latest addition to the series, the Acoustic Singer Live LT, was unveiled at NAMM 2020 and offers a stripped-down version of the Pro and Live formats. It has a smaller footprint, is more affordable, and while it does not have the onboard looper, vocal harmoniser or dual DI, it nonetheless has a suite of features that make it ideal for live performance.

Highlights:

In general, you can’t expect a super loud sound from this small amp, but it’s quite versatile for what it is. Without the extra effort to put on a mixing board or effect pedals, this small amplifier can offer a decent vocal/guitar balance. Pros And Cons Pros:

If you don’t like the sound of Fender Acoustasonic 15, don’t worry! There’s a few other great acoustic amp out there too. Still, it all depends on what you’re looking for and how much are you willing to spend.With two channels (a 1/4″ instrument channel for acoustic or acoustic-electric guitar, ukulele, mandolin, etc., and another XLR input for a microphone), a three-channel equalizer, and an onboard chorus effect, the Acoustasonic 15 would seem the perfect acoustic guitar amp for the traveling musician. If you’re looking for an alternative to Fender’s Acoustasonic 15, you may want to consider the Pyle 15-Watt portable mini amp (paid link). The Pyle practice amp may be a practical alternative, comparably priced, and similar in features to the Acoustasonic 15. I have to admit; I wasn’t expecting the Acoustasonic 15 amp to sound anywhere near as good as it does. It’s made by Fender, so I expected quality, but wow! The tones produced are warm and rich, with none of the tinny overtones we’ve come to expect from portable mini-amps.

The Fender Acoustasonic 15 is the perfect acoustic guitar amplifier for use at home or small gigs. Fender have been making guitar amps for over 60 years so they really know what it takes to make a great sounding amp and keep it affordable too! Also the perfect companion to other small electro-acoustic instruments like Mandolins/Ukuleles etc. Here's what Fender say about the Acoustasonic 15 Acoustic Guitar Amp On the other hand, the 40-Watt version is a bit bigger and heavier, so it’s more difficult to carry around. The woofer features a “Whizzer cone” designed to provide an enhanced high-frequency response; in other words, you won’t lose any of your favorite acoustic guitar‘s sound in the amplification process.The amp itself is physically one of the smallest acoustic models on the market. At just 10.5lb, it’s extremely light weight, making it incredibly portable – great news if you plan to take it with you to a performance. As to which is the best practice amp for acoustic guitarists, I would have to give the nod to Acoustasonic. I’ve always been a Fender guy in the interest of full disclosure, but I believe that even in a blind comparison, I’d have chosen so. Fender Acoustasonic 15 is a solid-state amp which features 15 Watts of power and a great sounding 6″ speaker. On top of that, the manufacturer equipped this model with a 3-band EQ and a built-in chorus effect.

Simple but practical EQ controls are very responsive to give you any tone you are looking for and the built-in chorus effect creates a lovely shimmer to the sound. Basic PA functionality can be easily performed with this amplifier, it also gives you flexibility for a range of musical performances. As the amp is quite clearly on the smaller side with the 15 watt output, then you know you’re not dealing with a hefty amp to travel around with. And, if you’re looking for the type of amp to take on tours or on the road, then why would you want a 500 watt behemoth to just plug in and play anyway? Instrument Channel: Volume, Bass, Middle, Treble, Chorus; Microphone Channel: Volume, Bass, Middle, Treble. Truthfully, I was expecting Fender to blow Pyle out of the water in terms of tone, but I was pleasantly surprised; the fact is, the Pyle produces a warm, pleasing tone that belies its small size. Alright, you’ve heard us drone on about just how special of a small amp this is. But, let’s face it, you need to hear what it actually sounds like in action, Feast your ears on the below:This amplifier is not battery-powered but uses a fixed AC cable which means that buskers need to find a power source before performing. In addition, there are some convenient functions missing here such as reverb effect, external FX loop, footswitch connection, etc. but these are not a must-have for a beginner. The MkIV is much the same as the much-loved MkIII. There is the Colour switch that can cut the low-mids and boost the highs to help accentuate fingerstyle playing, and this you can fine-tune via the EQ. And transparency is still the name of the game (set at noon, the Compact 60 is totally neutral). But the MkIV comes equipped with an auxiliary input with level control, a pre/post-FX switch to let you place your direct signal before or after the onboard effects, and 9V phantom power on channel 1 to supply instrument preamps without a battery. Note: If you have a copy of an old Fender Guitar Amplifier owner's manual not shown in this archive, we'd love to have a copy to post here. A PDF would be great, or even a scanned JPEG, GIF or TIFF that we can convert. I’m personally using the Fender Acoustasonic 40 for small gigs and I have to admit that it works very well and it’s really durable. It’s much louder than the 15-Watt amp, so it gives you ability to perform in larger rooms. On top of that, it has a built-in reverb. Although Fender Acoustasonic 15 is generally a really good amp, it’s not the best acoustic combo in the world. It has its own disadvantages, although in my opinion they’re not too serious.
