@@vtphan2012 It doesn't clip at all and easily handles both vox and guitar with hi fidelity. The LBP has good power and headroom as well as good throw. I perform at some out door venues, even a stage on the beach frequently and thus I crank it up and my musician friends all agree how great it sounds. I'm sure you can overdrive it if you put it on eleven LOL but it's been a solo amp for both vox and guitar for over a decade. I own four Loudbox amps and I perform over 200 shows a year up and down the Florida coast and if this amp couldn't handle it, I would have been using something else a long time ago. I'm very picky about tone and clarity, especially for my voice. At a 180watts, an 8 in sub, 5 in mid, 2 in tweeter and built in crossover, Fishman knocked it out the park with this amp for the most part.
We all play gigs, we know how it works and what to expect; but it always bothers me to see great talent like this in front of a parking lot apparently unappreciated. I applauded. At least you're in the shade.
Bill Gardella Nice to meet you Bill & I appreciate your kind thoughts here. Thank God we play for the joy of it first ya know! ...the owner here does take good care of me tho, & I'm grateful for it. :)
Your welcome and thank you for the kind words! Enjoy your new Taylor and let me know how you like the Performer when you get it. I've helped musicians all over when they have questions about the Loudbox amps. I have four of them as I play around 200 shows a year with them. God bless!!!
Having checked out a bunch of videos on the Performer. You are the best real world advertisement on YT for what this amp can do for guitar and vocals. And , it’s all done with a superb song selection - you should be financially endorsed by Fishman.
Thank you John for such kind & generous comments! ...I truly enjoy the Loudbox series & also have The Artist which was my first venture into Fishman amps. An endorsement would be cool, however, I'm grateful to be a featured artist for the Performer at one of their dealers; Pacific Guitar Sales: www.pacificguitarsales.com/products/fishman-loudbox-performer-180w-acoustic-amp-with-slip-cover ...I have to say their customer service, specifically Frank & Derrick have been outstanding proving me with several of the 8'' subs for the Performer as I've blown a few over the years in my two Performers. LOL! I wish you all the best & thanks again!! ...eric
Sounds great! Can you please tell me your settings on the loudbox? It would be much appreciated. I just got the LBP also have a mini bit needed the papa bear to play a graduation party soon.
Thank you Sid!! ...settings can vary from venue to venue, the type of guitar, type of pickup as well as your pick, strings and style of play so my settings may not be right for you. That said I would try to set your guitar's pick up flat, then by ear, dial in your eq. I have found the following settings as a general rule to be a good starting point: Gain-10 o'clock, Low-9-10 o'clock, Mid-7 o'clock, High-8 o'clock AF-5 o'clock... try that to start & best wishes!
@@uncaskillet Good initial settings! I play a J-45 with a LB Mini. The type of guitar and pickup makes a big difference. My bass is usually set at noon, mid 9 o'clock and treble at 11,
Thank you Doug for takin' time to listen & for your kind comments! ...I do enjoy the Loudbox amps, they are powerful, versatile and conveniently easy to carry around for my ol' back LOL! Cheers :)
Hey, I have a Martin D16 RGT and I just ordered the same LR Baggs M80 and tomorrow I will pickup the same Fishman combo! Good to hear the M80 with the Fishman amp, I'm looking forward to test it myself. I also ordered a TC Helicon Play Acoustic, it should be the sweetest setup for acoustic gigs
Congrats on a fine guitar! ...make sure you tweak the adjustable poles to optimize balance & tone. Don't place the pickup all the way forward or else you lose 5th fret harmonics. You will also find that the M80 needs a nice mid cut around 200-300hz. Best wishes on a nice system!
Thank you Rodrigo for your kind words! Most of my live playing is posted on Facebook by folks in the audience these days, but I will try to do more in 2020... all the best to you!
Most beautiful cover of this song I have ever heard. You made the song your own. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the cicadas and birds in the background. Thank you for sharing this. Looks like a Fishman Performer, yes? Cheers and Blessings!
@@mzmudy You are too kind and thank you again! I've been asked that several times over the years, however, I don't have the desire for that kind of fame. I enjoy being a full-time musician playing for my fan-friend base here on the First Coast... besides, I like going home to my own bed every night LOL!
@@uncaskillet That's Awesome! Maybe we'll get lucky and travel to your area sometime and we can play a song on guitars :) We were to South Carolina last summer, so not too far from y'all. We are in Duluth, MN.
Great job, man! Especially impressed with the time and effort it must have taken to train those seagulls and incorporate them into your show. Definitely raising the bar for the rest of us!
Hi noledog.............we are glad you are posting youtube videos. I owned a Martin at one time but now I have hand-built guitars. The quality is superior. One is an Olson. Have you got into the fanned fret craze yet? I love my Bashkin. You are welcome to play any of my hand-builds if you come to one of our concerts.
LJ Snappypants Thank you LJ, kind of you to listen & comment! :) I love the re-designed D-18's scalloped, f/s bracing & this git is super lite & responsive! However, I also play a custom built Goodall that is gorgeous that I also do some gigging with, same M80 pickup too...I've had two Lowdens, one Avalon, all wonderful & passed on to family members, but I'm back to my 70's root/folk dayz & I love a good spruce/hog dread like my ol' '75 Guild D25 I used back then that I passed on as well to family. I also enjoy a Tak OM and all these guitars are sprinkled throughout my YT videos...fanfrets?, not yet but I appreciate what I've heard so far...thank you for your generous invite & chimin' in here today. LJ, may you play all those lovely instruments in good health, making beautiful music & sharing the joy it brings for many years to come! ...eric
Thank you Jeremy... yes I do like the Beta 57 for vox because I play out side a lot and it cuts down on wind noise. This ain't the 57 of old we used to mic our amps with, it really sounds nice & airy. However, in the last two years the 57a Beta has become my back up to the Sennheiser e945 I currently use which i like a bit more.
Thank you Lee for your kind words! I plug my vocal mic and guitar directly into this Fishman Loudbox Performer. I don’t use pedals, however, the amp has built in reverb, delay, chorus and a couple others but I usually use only a small amount of delay to fatten things up a bit. On this performance though I used a small amount of reverb only. I’ve been using Loudbox amps for a decade now and they work well for my needs and style. Fishman is a great company with top shelf customer service and support. All the best to you Lee and thank you for chiming in!
@@uncaskillet wow… that’s a very impressive sound for going straight into the amp. But,, you’re a very good vocalist. I’m going to look into one of these. thanks!
Nice performance and that amp sounds incredible. Just lower the bass slightly so it doesn't overpower your singing- and bump up the vocals. Good guitar should simply "compliment" the rest of the (1 man) band. That space also provided nice acoustics but also emphasizes the bass. At 6:02 that seagull joined the party- provide some nice backing vocals!
Thank you David for your kind comments! ...I normally use Takamine Pro Series guitars, but I used my D-18 on this day & it is a bit bass heavy. I no longer use the Baggs M80 in this guitar, I replaced it with a DeArmond Tone Boss which is a bit more balanced. But still my Taks are my main working guitars as a full-time musician.
With a cord to an outlet, this amp is not battery powered... Fishman does make a small battery powered amp called the Loudbox Mini Charge that sounds wonderful.
Looking at the dials as a clock > Vocals Chan 1: G-11 B-1, M-7, T-11, AF-4 ...Guitar Chan 2: G-10, B-7, M-8, T-10, AF-5 ...then a touch of Reverb 1 on both.
Great singing mate and the tone on that guitar is amazing. Did you choose that location for the scenery because the foot traffic is not looking good. Cheers from New Zealand.
Thank you Richard for your kind words... this venue is a small café and I was doing a laid back Saturday morning brunch, very mellow and this was the first song. It was early before the brunch crowd came, it gets crowded after awhile. As far as tone, it's just my D18 with a Baggs M80 mag pickup plugged straight into a Fishman Loudbox Performer; same with my vocal mic SM57a Beta. Cheers mate & thanks again! :)

Great job!
Thank you!
Nice to know that you are the first human I’ve actually saw and heard using the microphone with the Fishman Artist/ Performer Acoustic Amp👍👍👍💯
Thank you!! Yes I find that the Loudbox Performer is one of the few acoustic amps that sound good for both guitar and vocals.
@@uncaskillet Does it clip easily? Many guitar amps don't do so well with both channels (guitar + vocal) being used at the same time. Thanks.

Looking into that Fishman 180w acoustic amp. Seems to have PLENTY of volume and outdoors is where you test an adequate speaker.
It has served me well for over ten years and hundreds and hundreds of shows.

thanks for the video . I needed to hear the sound of the voice and the guitar together in an open place. Very good performance.
Thank you Juan!
I was talking about the fishman loud artist... I thinks that amp has enough power and a nice reverb to play in small terraces etc. thanks again.
@@juansaez4030 I agree... I also have an Artist and it sounds lovely for the small cafe style venues; it's a warm sounding amp.
Tops Eric. Thanks man. I'm gonna buy me a Fishman Artist too. You soul brother!
Thank you! Enjoy your Fishman too!!
Thanks for the awesome demo! I was debating getting the Fishman performer after buying a taylor acoustic and now im convinced!
