Beyond its good looks, the Circa 74 offers a well-thought-out feature set that incorporates all the essentials without being overcomplicated. Read the full review here: acousticguitar.com/review-taylor-circa-74-acoustic-amplifier/

Taylor does not understand or execute electronics well. From their acoustic pick ups,to the T5z, to this amp, these products are mediocre at best and very expensive. They should stick to what they do well: acoustic guitars, and let the electronics to those that know what they are doing.

I like the ES-2 system for gigging quite a bit.
