Acoustic guitar amps are specifically designed to amplify the natural tone of acoustic instruments without altering their organic sound. Unlike electric guitar amps, they emphasize clean headroom and frequency balance to maintain the guitar’s warmth and clarity. Developed alongside the rise of electro-acoustic guitars, these amps gained popularity in the 1970s and 80s with the rise of singer-songwriters and acoustic-driven performances. Leading brands include Fishman, Fender, AER, and Boss, with standout models like the Fishman Loudbox Artist, Fender Acoustic Junior, AER Compact 60, and Boss Acoustic Singer Pro. These amps are commonly used for solo performances, busking, and small venue gigs, often featuring built-in effects, DI outputs, and multiple channels for vocals and instruments. They provide an essential solution for acoustic musicians looking for an amplified yet natural sound in live and studio settings.
