Bugera AC60 (great utility amp!)

I was feeling particularly lazy one evening and grabbed the AC60 instead of an Aguilar 1x12 for a casual jazz jam at a friend's house. I was skeptical but I have to admit I've been very happy with the little amp for this kind of setting. Volume is definitely not a problem and it easily keeps up with a drummer and guitarist. The lows from an 8" are surprisingly good, notes on the B string come through loud and clear. Obviously it doesn't have the girth of a larger speaker but for the type of jazz we're doing it is fine.

I've also used the amp for other instruments. It sounds great for guitar (acoustic & electric) with a ton of volume on tap. I've also used it for vocals and it was fine for rehearsals or low volume gigs.

For those unaware the AC60 is a 'clone' of sorts of the AER Compact 60 which is an amazing amp.
