Accoustic amps

Just wondering if anyone has experience with accoustic brand amps

[Doom]

Are you wondering about the new Acoustic brand amps? Or the old ones from the 70's and 80's? The old ones are great, New ones are made in china and not as good, but for the price I dont see why not. Maybe not the new cabinets, but the heads look decent.

Clarification, the old ones, the new ones sold by guitar center (budget priced made in china, pretty much rebadged kustoms) or the new Acoustic USA brand which are truer to the original vintage and design but very much boutique quality and pricing.

I can say onto the guitar center rebranded. The heads are surprisingly better than their price point. With a good set of cabinets you might be quite pleased with them. I hear the cabinets for them are not that great, YMMV.

I haven't tried the GC version or the new Acoustic USA version. But, I play through vintage Acoustic amps all the time and I'm happy with them. They sound good and have been dead reliable for me so far.

I've got one of the 200w heads, and the 1x15" cab that they sell. I only use it for small places but it does the job well, and price wise; I think it's worth the money. I do use a SansAmp BDDI with mine. Hope this helps a bit.

I have one of those GC 200W as a practice amp and it is very reliable and sounds great. I took a peek inside and they didn't take the el cheapo route with the electronics.

+1 I've owned 3 and currently own a 370, great amps. If they reissue a 370 Made in USA reasonably priced I just may have to buy it.
