Amplifier Discussion / Acoustic Guitar Amp KAC-60
August 19, 2009, 04:24:12 PM
Hi all. I'm back after a lengthy sabbatical (previously Numpsha) and was wondering if anyone is interested in acoustic guitar amplifiers. Teemu has a nice section on these in his book which inspired me to dust off my Dean Markley KAC-60 and download the schematics. (available at Dean Markley's website http://deanmarkley.com/Info/LegacyAmps/Docs.shtml  ).  This is quite the sweet little amp (I now realize). I had picked it up for like fifty bucks at the local pawn shop to use for solo acoustic stuff at pubs around New Hampshire. Problem was, I abused it by running an overdriven Les Paul thru it and naturally the smaller speaker was not pleased. I recently repaired the amp, used it at an outdoor wedding gig in the mountains and received a lot of positive feedback from folks about the tone quality from the mike and guitar. Is anyone interested at looking at the schematics and opening a conversation about the topologies involved in this rather unique solid state amp? Anyone else have a SS amp dedicated to acoustic instruments?
