by Jack Loganbill from Chicago, IL USA
For the past several months or so I have researched and tested acoustic combo amps in an attempt to find the best amp value. I narrowed it down to the Loudbox 100 and the Ultrasound AG50-DS4. I ended ... read more [+]up buying the Loudbox because of its higher wattage and slightly better connectivity options. July 31, 2008 Music Background: Extreme Hobbyist Both amps are very popular among acoustic guitarists. In fact, the Loudbox seems to be super popular at this time (July 2008) as it seems Sweetwater has a difficult time keeping them in stock. (I waited several weeks). Features and Layout The Loudbox includes just about every bell and whistle guitarists look for in an amp. It includes a three band EQ (low, mid, high) with center (0) detents, two channels, XLR input with phantom power on Channel 2, an auxillary input with separate volume control, DI outs for each channel and a main DI out. Each channel has its own effects loop. A mute button allows you to mute the amp--and it's foot switchable. This a great feature to avoid pops when removing and inserting cables and mics. I found the layout of the controls and connectors to be perfect. The tilt-back cabinet is attractive and its Tolex covering should last forever, especially given the plastic bumpers top and bottom. The control panels are steel and are very attractive. This amp certainly has great curb appeal. The armor-like metal grill is attractive and provides superior speaker protection--evidently someone at Fishman plays live gigs and realizes how easy it is to rip fabric grills and punch holes in speakers when transporting amps. The first time I saw the Loudbox I was surprised by just how small it is. Its size and reasonably light weight make it very portable. My only complaint: No place to wrap or store the power cord. Sound Quality Soundwise the Loudbox is very clear (and loud). Some reviewers rate the tone quality as sterile. It is clean with very little if any color whatsoever, so yes, the sound is "sterile". Many guitarists are accustomed to their amps offering color to their guitar sound--this amp does not. The best way I can describe the Loudbox sound quality is crystaline high-fidelity that cuts like a knife. In contrast my little Ultrasound AG-30 has a softer attack which some may find easier to listen to. With that said, the quality of the sound the Loudbox emits depends on the guitar and its pickups. I email-conversed with several well known, professional guitarists while researching this purchase. Their bottom line was that each amp's sound greatly depends on the type and quality of pickup being used. I cannot agree more. I have two guitars (Dreadnought and OM) with K&K mini westerns installed. They sound great recorded and through my PA system. With the Loudbox EQs set flat, both guitars sounded too bassy and distorted at higher gains and volume. Rolling off the bass EQ completely and setting the mid EQ to nine o'clock delivered a much more balanced sound, though my ears detected that the EQ setting stole some of the color the K&Ks offer. The same guitars equipped with an LR Baggs M1 soundhole pickup sounded great through the Loudbox. A combo of the M1 and the K&Ks (with EQ set appropriately) also sounded great, clearly transmitting the woody rumble of the guitar. My Alvarez nylon with undersaddle pickup sounds great through the Loudbox, as do my nylon semi-solid bodies. The Alvarez sounds absolutely brilliant, and again the Loudbox emphasizes the woody sound or texture of the guitar. Amplifying this guitar was the primary reason for the purchase, therefore I am delighted with the Alvarez/Loudbox combination. Finally, I have two steel string guitars outfitted wth LR Baggs Element undersaddle pickups. The Loudbox amplified the quackiness of these pickups and no amount of EQing seemed to help. Some sort of an anti-quack preamp is required. I found the two Loudbox 100 anti-feedback features to be very useful in squashing feedback. However, in a small (15 x 25), carpeted room, I could not stop the feedback caused by a $$$ condensor microphone. I had less problems with a Shure SM 57 (dynamic mic). I connected a guitar synth output to the auxillary input and the results were more than satisfactory. The front mounted aux volume control allows you to completely control the aux volume in the mix. The Loudbox includes five digital effects. The chorus and plate reverbs are perhaps too discrete. I would prefer more control to bring them out in the mix and control their parameters. I find the Hall reverbs to be very satisfactory and useful in adding depth to the otherwise somewhat one-dimensional sound the amp offers. Recording Bonus I realize that you purchase an amplifier to amplify the instrument. However, I found the Loudbox to be an absolutely wonderful recording tool. With my headphones connected (disabling the speakers), I was able to dial in the perfect mix of guitar sound and vocals (condensor mic). The Hall reverb added great depth to my vocals. Since each channel has its own effects volume control, I could dial in just the right amount of reverb volume for the guitar/vocals. I was very impressed, and with the channel 1, channel 2, and main XLR outputs, it is very easy to connect to a recording console. Bottom Line I have a/b compared the Fishman Loudbox 100 to my PA and the Ultrasound AG-30. The PA tames the K&K pickup in my large dreadnought better than either combo amp. However, the nylon string guitars sound better through either of the combo amps than the PA, as do the steel strings with the LR Baggs M1. There is a significant difference in sound between the Loudbox and the Ultrasound. For my primary nylon guitar, the Ultrasound offers a softer attack to the sound and seems to have more dimension (like it has reverb, which is does not). However, the Loudbox offers much higher headroom and slightly better clarity. But where the Loudbox really shines is its incredible connectivity options, layout, and general armor-like construction--it is perhaps the best designed "gigging" amp available for anywhere near the price. close [-]
