Half a dozen insufferable reviews on these amps before I found this one... and Hallelujah!!! Man comes through right out the gate with a beautiful, emotive and visceral jam! Truly showcasing the potential of this amp. Goosebumps on that intro man! Much bless, thank you
Ooh these look very interesting! I'd love to see how they stack up against the Orange Crush Acoustic 30 and the Fishman Loudbox Mini - but also how their microphone inputs sound.
@@MrMd5555 the vocals sound great through my acoustasonic jr amp, so I’m guessing that the new one sounds great! I am also using the shure 58 mic, which is kinda expensive. A little over a hundred bucks
Good vocals. The Fender is a good amp. The Boss is a good amp. Have both and I personally use the Fender more because of total separate Channels. This way no bleed into other channels when using Tube pre amps or anything else.
If they can't Include a Foot switch for £500 They can Stuff it .... Every Amp that is BUILT With a Foot switch socket should Come with the Foot switch in my opinion
@@cajunqueen5125 I'm talking about A CHANNEL SWITCHING FOOT SWITCH if the amp has two Channels & a FOOT SWITCH INPUT then it should come with a Foot switch included in the price not be an EXTRA You wouldn't buy a car if it only had One Seat but had the Space for 3 more (Just because you might not Use the other Seats) does not mean they should still be included with the CAR anyway
Stuff it? A bit harsh don't you think there Kevin? You know, it's comments like that which leave manufacturers scratching their heads, as they're damned if they do, and damned if they don't. It isn't an inexpensive foot switch, and as one lad already pointed out, not everyone will want or need it. Some may be scraping just enough to buy the amp. Then buy the switch a month or 2 later. As evidenced by this vid, he wasn't even using the correct foot switch, yet was making it work. Afraid if there's any stuffing to do, it's the other way round. With all going on in the world today, you choose to channel your ire at something completely absurd and unworthy of such rage. Btw, if all one wants to do is use a foot switch for channel switching, it can be done via a very inexpensive one. And yet you've written an entire manufacturer off because of it. Have you any idea what an amazing value that amp is? Unbelievably so. I love mine, and afraid all I can do is laugh at someone who appears so uninformed. Pity.
@@MrPinkStrat I think the two channels are for voice + guitar its not like an electric guitar amp with a clean and lead channel. I would still agree that it would be nice to have the pedal included though. Just seems a way to get another £49 from you (I notice its now £59 though.....)
Street performance is the only live outlet a lot of us have during this pandemic. Given that the Acoustic Junior GO is the newest battery powered "Busker Amp" on the market, I think a lot of viewers might like to see comparisons with the Roland Street Cube EX, Fishman Charge, Orange Crush Acoustic (another new-ish battery powered amp) and probably even some of the small PA type options, like the Bose S1 and the JBL Eon Compact. We'd love to see a "real street performance" shoot out between all of these and if you're up for a proper performers/buskers amp comparison, maybe include some of smaller/cheaper options, like the Blackstar Superfly, smaller Roland Street Cube, etc. Also, please use an A/E guitar with a pickup/pre-amp that people are commonly using (like Fishman, Taylor ES systems, LR Baggs, etc.) Please none of those Stratacoustics!
Hello, thanks for the great post, which acoustic amplifier would you recommend to me so that there is no loss of sound? The Fender Acoustic SFX II, Boss Acoustic Singer Pro or AER 60/4. I wish you much success. Stay healthy ❤🍀👍🏼
You did exactly what I needed to hear, I play acoustic like a rock guitar a lot of the time. It showed me the amp can take that. How is the vocal when you are jamming out? Thanks
Great review video! 👍 How about a shootout between the "Fender Acoustic Junior" and the "Fishman Loudbox Micro" and a "Supro Delta 10"? Small amps for home use.
Nice demo Ben; I have one of the older Acoustasonic Junior amps and they are good for a variety of roles. Currently using the BOSS GT1000Core into the fx return. Good studio utility. I often mic it up to record bass guitar through it - sits well in the mix.
Roland ac - 60 has been my go to forever looking at the Bose s1 pro and the jbl version which are more on the small pa side but would still be interesting to here the differences
Thanks for the presentation of the amps! I would like to have a comparison with respective ACUS amps. For me, they are the reference for acoustic amps. The ACUS One for Street is, from a tonal Point of view, outstanding amongst battery powered amps, but unfortunately very very heavy. Also interesting could be a comparison with the new Blackstar Sonnett Amps and the AER Alpha. Thanks & regards Jürgen
Great review as always and really great playing. I would like to hear an archtop/hollow body electric played through this collection. Interested is hearing Ibanez GB10 or Eastman Romeo played as Jazz boxes. As long as you're taking requests. Cheers!
Would like to see the acoustic settings on the Katana amps thrown into the mix, not going to be as good I know but never seem to get shown off properly on YT vids. Some neat playing there tho, respect.
I actually just got back from guitar center and brought a Katana into the Acoustic room to try the acoustic setting. No comparison AT ALL. Very disappointed with the Katana and it’s Acoustic setting performance. If you mainly play electric with some acoustic get the Katana. If you are an acoustic player mainly? Get the Fender Jr.
Trying to make an acoustic sound good through any amp designed for electric is going to be very challenging. It's like they'd have to put a whole other speaker & preamp on board which at that point you'd probably be better off with a dedicated acoustic amp
What foot pedal are you using with this amp?? The video is cut off right at the top of the Footswitch but it appears to be the GTX-7... is that correct???
Great review, and excellent playing! I mostly play electric, so I have never owned an acoustic amp, but lately been doing acoustic stuff so I just ordered the SFX 2 earlier today. Got to sound better then just straight through the pa. I got a good deal for $354 Black Friday sale.
Shootout with the Fishman Loudbox Mini. Plus I want to hear what it sounds like with a vocal mic as compared with the Fishman or other similar acoustic/mic amp combos.
Whatever other people suggest, why don't you throw in the acoustic channel on the Katana 50? Sounds pretty good and a lot cheaper than some of the rest. Thanks.
how about compare it with the Roland AC60 or/and the Roland Sreeet Cube....that would be great. By the way I didn't notice any difference with the sfx 'ultra stereo' knob. Keep up the good work
Compare the Junior GO not only to similar acoustic amps like the Fishman Mini Charge but also portable PA:s like Bose S1 Pro and the new HK Audio Premium PR:O Move 8.
extremely good video. Thanks for that 👍🙏 It would be interesting to compare the fender Junior go, Bose s1 Pro, Aer Compact mobile. Greetings from Düsseldorf Germany ✌️
great vid. I'd love to see this against a Blackstar sonnet 120. Ive heard a lot about teh streaming function on those too. be interesting to see what gives the best sound direct from amp to device for that purpose as its such a valuable feature right now! Also fishman/AER too as kind of industry standards.....
Acoustics always sound slightly off and "line in-ish" when they are plugged in. Especially Piezo pickup loaded acoustics. They might sound good, but they don't sound like that they do when unplugged. Acoustic guitar sims/IRs should be a feature on acoustic amps, much like electric guitar amps have amp sims/IRs. Make your acoustic guitar sound like an acoustic guitar, basically haha. There are a few videos on youtube of guys using Mooer radar pedals to load acoustic guitar IRs to do what I'm suggesting, and it sounds good.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but it doesnt look like you can plug it in with the same cable as on a normal amp like the one on my blues junior, do i need a special cable?
Great tones, lovely sound and fantastic playing but, and for me it's a huge but, two channels and no master is no good for me it's a game changer. Tried playing a gig with mic and vocals, someone said it wasn't loud enough and you have to adjust the channels independently, these are not gigging amps and Fender need to get it fixed.
can you do against : MARSHALL AS50D ACOUSTIC GUITAR AMP ,BLACKSTAR SONNET 60 ACOUSTIC AMPLIFIER IN BLACK , BOSS ACOUSTIC SINGER LIVE 60 WATT BI-AMPED ACOUSTIC STAGE AMP. thanks you do a grate job
I have an amp just like this I bought new a few days ago. It sounds amazing with my new mexican martin 12 string. But the Stereo SFX knob does nothing that my ears can hear.
Ive been running my acoustic through an AER Compact 60 which is glorious... Ive also been hooking it up in 'stereo' with the acoustic channel of the Katana Mk2 100 (through a Boss RV 6). It works very well when you start bringing in some of the effects from the Katana!... ;) Love to see both of these amps n the shootout.
I did not hear him sing through This amplifier. And are the effects or can you do the effects differently on the vocal portion that you do the guitar person at the same time. That’s a huge point and he did not cover that whatsoever that I could tell. Or is the vocal half of the same provider so bad they don’t want to use it to promote their amplifier
AER is a good amp. The Fender is useable better with the foot switch however the draw back to foot switch is scrolling, but you get a great looper. Own a Aer, Rolland, boss and the Fender. The Fender I use most of the time out at venues. Mic to two Bose L1 model 2s just killer. Don't use direct line in on any acoustic amp. Get far better exactly what comes out of the face. Use condenser mic. The other amps I use for practice. The Fender offers more in the bass I guess. Whatever is in front of the bose comes out exactly. So hearing what might sound good alone may not sound good coming out of the bose for nothing escapes detecting.
Skipped right over letting us hear what the Jr sounds like maybe people are interested in that one like I am and a few chords or something would have been nice.
Gosh I love Acoustic. The vibrations you feel. No comparison with electric. Your playing is epic!
Shootout between This amp and the Boss Acoustic Singer and of course the Fishman Loudbox
The passion in his playing warms my heart.
Half a dozen insufferable reviews on these amps before I found this one... and Hallelujah!!! Man comes through right out the gate with a beautiful, emotive and visceral jam! Truly showcasing the potential of this amp. Goosebumps on that intro man! Much bless, thank you
Nice sounds and playing!
Does a Ben come with the amp?
Ooh these look very interesting! I'd love to see how they stack up against the Orange Crush Acoustic 30 and the Fishman Loudbox Mini - but also how their microphone inputs sound.
I'd really love to hear how vocals sound through this compared to something like a Bose S1 Pro.
Spoiler: Not as good
Jk I have no first hand experience & would like to hear an A/B comparison as well. Bose seems to always knock it out of the park
@@MrMd5555 the vocals sound great through my acoustasonic jr amp, so I’m guessing that the new one sounds great! I am also using the shure 58 mic, which is kinda expensive. A little over a hundred bucks
Good vocals. The Fender is a good amp.
The Boss is a good amp.
Have both and I personally use the Fender more because of total separate Channels. This way no bleed into other channels when using Tube pre amps or anything else.
It would be nice to see the 2 channels simultaneously, and I would love to see a jazz guitar in these amps!
If they can't Include a Foot switch for £500 They can Stuff it .... Every Amp that is BUILT With a Foot switch socket should Come with the Foot switch in my opinion
Not everone wants to use a foot pedal -- I don't -- for whatever reasons, good or bad. So why make those folks pay for a pedal they don;t want

For the shootout, absolutely have to go up against a Fishman. Would love to see it against a Henriksen and an AER as well.
Definitely!
Man this guy is playing his heart out, really good.
If I look at it long enough I might absorb some of that skill. Lovely
Nice amps. Fender has done it again boys and girls

- "A battery so you can go and play outside"
Obviously the Go was designed before 2020.
Lovely stuff! That outdoor track was fab. Please pit the junior against the Blackstar Sonnet
Those amps looked gorgeous , in that setting. Fantastic Acoustic guitar sounds....amazing skill. It's my favorite type of music.
Superb play-out, and the look of joy on your face is pure inspiration...brilliant!
I have amplifier Fender Junior Go. I recommend a very successful product. Beautiful sound and looks very good. 🥰🎶🎵
Great review video! 👍 How about a shootout between the "Fender Acoustic Junior" and the "Fishman Loudbox Micro" and a "Supro Delta 10"? Small amps for home use.
Does it record both channels independantly via USB and is it class compliant?
Nice demo Ben; I have one of the older Acoustasonic Junior amps and they are good for a variety of roles. Currently using the BOSS GT1000Core into the fx return. Good studio utility. I often mic it up to record bass guitar through it - sits well in the mix.
Please connect a microphone when reviewing acoustic amps and pa systems
Such a great player, love these acoustic vids
Silly question on an amplifier review...what strings are you using on the Fender guitar?
Roland ac - 60 has been my go to forever looking at the Bose s1 pro and the jbl version which are more on the small pa side but would still be interesting to here the differences
Shoot out with The Blackstar Sonnet 60 Acoustic Guitar Amplifier AND OR BOSE?
Cool. I bought a Sire Larry Carlton acoustic off the back of Ben's demo & I'm well pleased with it. Just sayin'.

What foot pedal are you using with this amp?? The video is cut off right at the top of the Footswitch but it appears to be the GTX-7... is that correct???
Your playing was absolutely awesome
Which cable do you use to connect your guitar with the amp? Must be Klinke to XLR, or?
A regular jackplug works ,and also a XRL plug. Interchangeable so to speak
Got one question please. If the battery dies in the junior go, can I still use it like the junior plugged into an outlet socket?
Yes and it will recharge the battery at the same time.
Is there some phone app to control the amp over the blueutooth?
Great review, and excellent playing! I mostly play electric, so I have never owned an acoustic amp, but lately been doing acoustic stuff so I just ordered the SFX 2 earlier today. Got to sound better then just straight through the pa. I got a good deal for $354 Black Friday sale.
@@tomjones8828 ProAudioStar, but think yesterday was last day of the sale?
Shootout with the Fishman Loudbox Mini.
Plus I want to hear what it sounds like with a vocal mic as compared with the Fishman or other similar acoustic/mic amp combos.
Just saw this video. That is some stellar playing sir! Loved the jam at the end. Nice looping with tasty riffs
Whatever other people suggest, why don't you throw in the acoustic channel on the Katana 50? Sounds pretty good and a lot cheaper than some of the rest. Thanks.
Thanks....i ll buy the sfx II
how about compare it with the Roland AC60 or/and the Roland Sreeet Cube....that would be great. By the way I didn't notice any difference with the sfx 'ultra stereo' knob. Keep up the good work
How do you hear the efects if you are recording direct to the line on the amp?
Pleasecompare hwith Boss and Fishman acoustic amps.
Would love to see how the junior stands & sounds next to the marshall as50d (goldie oldie acoustic box)
What an incredible intro! Awesome BEN!
Do the new Amps have a filter that can lower the facial expressions?
+1 for vocals in the comparison
Would like to see this compare to the Boss pro singer amp.
I love this video. I bought the Jr and you made it sound amazing
You Are Definitely An Awesome Musician, Love Your Videos. 👍👍🎶🎶🎸
Compare the Junior GO not only to similar acoustic amps like the Fishman Mini Charge but also portable PA:s like Bose S1 Pro and the new HK Audio Premium PR:O Move 8.
Please compare with "Boss Acoustic Singer Live lt" and "Fishman Loudbox Artist". Thank you!
How about a comparison with the Blackstar Acoustic:Core 30?
Compare the "GO" with the Fishman battery operated BT acoustic amp.
Ben's got a solid time !
extremely good video. Thanks for that 👍🙏 It would be interesting to compare the fender Junior go, Bose s1 Pro, Aer Compact mobile. Greetings from Düsseldorf Germany ✌️
Some seriously wonderful playing on show here..!!
Lovely playing Ben 👌🏻🎸
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm gonna guess the tap tempo works on the Vibratone setting too.
Please can you compare it to the Marshall AS50D/AS100D

How does it compare to the katana's acoustic channel though

No you don't need a special cable,it takes a regular jackplug and a XRL plug also,so you can also use a mic on channel 2
I would love to see it against the Yamaha THR30II Wireless or the 10, as it's in that price range plus the ability to connect to electric guitars too.
Another thought....if you could play some nylon strings through them that’d be good too.
It's great that strumming a few chords makes you wince in pain, Bud .. you girl.
Boss Fs7 works with this amp for control loop?
How about a shootout with the Junior, the Boss Cube Street EX, the Fishman and even the Joyo 60 watt Acoustic to make it even MORE interesting :)
Beautiful sound!
Could I damage it if ran a electric guitar trough it
No, just don’t run any dirt pedals through it
Great tones, lovely sound and fantastic playing but, and for me it's a huge but, two channels and no master is no good for me it's a game changer.
