The biggest problem with finding an acceptable acoustic amp, is finding one that actually amplifies the true acoustics of an instrument without diminishing the quality of the tone. More often than not, a great acoustic guitar will lose its brilliance when plugged into an insufficient amp; not so with the new L.R. Baggs Acoustic Reference Amplifier.

The biggest problem with finding an acceptable acoustic amp, is finding one that actually amplifies the true acoustics of an instrument without diminishing the quality of the tone. More often than not, a great acoustic guitar will lose its brilliance when plugged into an insufficient amp; not so with the new L.R. Baggs Acoustic Reference Amplifier. Instead of dampening the acoustic quality of a good sounding instrument or vocals, the Baggs does an exceptional job of accurately magnifying a gorgeous sound.
The two Para DI channels employ 100 percent circuitry, include parallel effects loops, spring reverb, and a Garrett Null notchfilter for feedback. The easily adjustable tone knobs found on the top of the amp allow you to find that perfect blend of richness and natural beauty.
The standout feature of this amp is the new L.R. Baggs patented honeycomb loudspeaker that delivers 140 degree wide full sound range. The clarity of this amplifier is unmatchable. The L.R. Baggs A-REF amp simply does an outstanding job of amplifying an acoustic instrument without distorting the natural sound. For the quality of this amplifier, the price is well matched- a solid purchase in my opinion.
I always like reading Marshall Alexander’s reviews. They are basic and factual – without being too technical. Enjoyable and informative reading. Thanks!
