acoustic 370 head

Acoustic 360/361 - 360 was a pre-amp head with four line outs. The 361 was a 300w powered bottom with a rear-mounted 18" speaker in a folded horn cab
Acoustic 370/301 - 370 was a powered head with a 5-band limited range EQ. Also 300w (if I recall). The 301 was the same bottom as the 361 without the power amp.

It's hard to say which was considered what, but the Acoustic 360 was used more frequently by known musicians (Jaco, John Paul Johns), and I preferred it to the 370 setup. My feeling was that the 360 pre-amp offered a better range of sounds.
I had the 360/361 and mistakenly sold it to buy the 370/301. IMO the 360 blew away the 370 with much more usable tone and a better sound overall. The 370 sounded muddy and muffled with no high end. I still regret it today. Wish I still had the 360/361 rig. I loved to play it outdoors because you could hear it clearly from the crowd even with going through the P.A.
