Hi all, any good recommendations for a basic acoustic amp/vocal input. Not really looking for any effects as such.
I´m going to be using a EHX dispatch master and a TC Looper with the acoustic, and go through a TC Helicon harmony singer, and TC vocal looper, so going to play around with pedal effects etc.
I guess a basic neutral enough sounding monitor could do, like the Roland Cube Monitor, but that might be too small in terms of power?
Just browsing online to get an idea of what’s out there , there seems to be plenty of choice.
What should I look at minimum wattage wise? Seems like I could get what I need for around £150.

I do have a hankering after an AER which are on another level of quality and price.

@hubobulous how does this sound with a vocal mic? How much you selling for out of curiosity?
The AS100 is in a different league, and actually doesn't sell for that much more - but it is a lot larger and heavier.

But a PA is also quite a lot more hassle to carry and set up, even if it's one of those 'suitcase' type systems that pack into a single unit for transporting. It also depends on the size of the room.
I've used both for a guitar/vocal duo (one guitar, one vocal - I don't sing and she doesn't really play), and for a small room (20 or so people, low volume) I prefer an acoustic amp. For a larger room or with two guitars and/or two vocals, it starts to tip more towards a PA.

It's 60W - which is 10W more than the Marshall that has been suggested. For solo stuff without a drummer it will be fine, unless it's a big venue, in which case there should be a PA anyway.

Are you suggesting a preamp instead would be better?
I was thinking of something like the mooer micro DI box.
