Marshall "Acoustic Soloist" AS80R

[Al]

I just bought tonight around 5 pm a used Marshall "Acoustic Soloist" AS80R
and right now I'm tweaking around with it!
I have a Larrivee L-28 with 2 pickup system a Sunrise Magnetic + a no mane
glue under the saddle piezo I always wanted a stereo amps and this if my
first amps! I usually go direct into my mixer and true my home monitor
speaker I think this is a step up and so far I'm please with the sound but I
have to learn the setting a bit more, paid $800.00 Canadian Fund for it.

Any of you guy have this amps?
And if so what are your though on it?

I have one. It's a very versatile and usable combo amp. If you're doing
acoustic and vocals, it's a good solution for singing and playing
through the same amp. Very good EQ capabilities, good spring reverb and
chorus built in. There's a special control (I forget what it's called
-- "Attack", maybe) that does a good job of taming "piezo quack". It
also doubles as a good electric-guitar amp.

It's not as "hi-fi" as we tend to like amplifiers today, but it has a
very usable and pleasant sound.

Alain, I have had a Soloist for over 8 years and am very happy with it.
I have played quite a few other acoustic amps, but still prefer the
Marshall. I run a Fishman Blender through the Acoustic channel and a Mackie
1202 mixer through the "electric" channel. I play both 6 and 12 string and
like the ability to tweek with the "attack" control and the sound shaping
capabilities is perfect for my sound. I also play banjo and autoharp, plus
vocals, which I plug into the Mackie and use the amp as a background sound
source, lining out everything to the PA.
Congrats on the new amp - it will serve you well.
