AER 40W Acoustic Combo Amp/ 1 Chan w/ 1x8 Speaker / Black ALPHA
The AER Alpha is a compact combo amp for acoustic instruments. It hasone channel with 2 individual inputs that allow parallel use ofinstrument and microphone, even though the instrument is the main focus.Inputs each have their own gain knob. Birch plywood cabinet providesgreat tone projection and is road tough. Dynamic controlled 40 Watts RMSand the 8" twin-cone speaker system give perfect performance at allsound pressure levels. Onboard reverb, external effects loop andheadphone out.
The Alpha amplifier defines the starting point ofserious acoustic amplification at AER. Based on the success and theexperience with the Compact 60 they have developed an even smaller,lightweight model that has no difficulties living up to the rigors ofthe road. Amazingly reduced, without losing what is essential for superbperformance - the Alpha is a full size member of the AER productfamily. Open sounding and quick in response, this guitar amp mastersdifferent ranges and is not afraid of bigger instruments.
Effects
TheAER Alpha has an integrated (internal) digital reverb effect on board.The return control determines the intensity of the effect (as far to theleft as possible means no effect). Furthermore, a supplementary effectdevice can be connected (external effect). For this purpose, use thesockets send and return at the rear of Alpha to connect the externaldevice (send to the input, return from the output of the externaleffect). The intensity will then be set by the controls of externaleffect device. A standard double foot switch can be connected to thefootswitch socket on the rear of the amp with a stereo cable. Thisswitch can be used to turn the internal and external effects on and off.
