Quality Low Budget Acoustic Amp

[Alicia Willis]

Hey y’all !
As the title suggests I’m looking for a quality, low budget, acoustic amp. I love my Ovation, but she’s meant to be plugged in and sounds better that way IMO. We used to have a Boss Katana that had an acoustic setting which was wonderful, but we no longer have it. I just want something small I can make minor adjustments with to give her a more robust sound when needed.
Unplugged,Baby (yes…that’s her name lol), sounds a bit too bright for my liking for most of the things I like to play.

Any recommendations?

Hmm, maybe check out the Fender Acoustasonic? The 15 watt seems pretty affordable.

I have never used a dedicated acoustic amp so can't offer advice from a personal perspective.

Just for home use or band/live setting?

Home use so nothing huge.

What price did you have in mind, ~$200ish? Need any bells and whistles, or just something basic?

$200 or below would be awesome. Just want something I can adjust the basics with as I wouldn’t use it a whole lot. I mostly use my electric BUT I’ve been on a big acoustic kick lately and I’d love to be able to boost the mids and bass to balance out the natural trebly sound it has. (If that makes sense lol) I just have never tried a solely acoustic amp so I’m not sure what to look for.

I don't have much experience with any acoustic amps, aside from an acoustic amp from an Epiphone starter kit in middle school lol. Here's a write up from Sweetwater about acoustic amps. I would've recommended the Fishman, but it's a bit hefty in price. The only 2 around the $200 price range is the Blackstar and Fender Acoustasonic, so I'd check those out.
