Astonishing little warrior :)
RB Sound Touch 17.10.2019
I was so impressed by the quality of the sound of this little thing! It really sounds like a studio monitor. Very neutral and accurate. Very portable, light, easy to carry, even on my bike. Though I wish it had some nice, padded carry bag included, since it's designed also for the street. I used it with Rav Drum plus condenser mic - Audio-Technica PRO 35 and acoustic guitar, looper Boss RC 300 with Shure Beta microphone, as well as bluetooth or aux with my computer and phone for indoor and outdoor. It turned out that 20W is not always enough for street performance, especially with rather quiet Rav Drum, but most of very small battery amps have usually much less power. And anyway, this little guy can be pretty loud indoor and also with bluetooth. We danced and exercized with my friends in parks together with that amp, as well as I made quite many successful workshops with it (dance, yoga and other), looping and improvising live. Another great feature for such a small amp is phantom power! That was something I was looking for. Still doesn't happen often in small battery amps. All effects sound great. And really, what else do You need, if not just some good reverb, delay and extra chorus or flanger with quite big range of adjustment. The only little disturbing thing is that there is noticeable noise from effect block, but mostly in quiet rooms. I like also that main volume, eq, bluetooth are on top and the mixer with channels is on the back side, though it is not always super convenient and would be great, if channels were copied as much as possible. The volume and effect knobs are swapped in channels and it took me long time to remember that, but I finally got used to. The last thing concerns the battery or rather, what happens, when it is just about to die.. The amp instead of just turning off, starts producing some weird scary noises (first time I heard it, I honestly got scared, cause I was in another room and had no idea what that was.. ). That could be improved or maybe the amp should have some gentle warning signal before the battery dies. But, if You always charge the battery after every show and You control it, You should have no problems and the battery last for really long. There is possibility to disconnect it, when not in use! Overall, I love that amp for what it offers in such a small set up and most of all for the sound!, battery life, phantom power, simple and beautiful design, portability. Well thought through little device. Totally recommend.

Effects are sound quality are fair
SalzGuitar 19.02.2024
Maybe it's my device but the effects don't really differ to one another. to me this only has three effects. although the sound quallity is fairly good, it is quite "airy" there's a sound that's always there even when you;re not playing... the battery life though is to question.

Ein Baby mit erwachsenem Klang
Akustik Power 27.09.2017
Ich liebe rein akusitische Gigs. Je nach Örtlichkeit lässt sich dabei allerdings nur grobes Repertoire umsetzen, und ruhigere Baladen würden schlichtweg untergehen. Elite Acoustics hat nun ein herrlich handliches Klangwunder entwickelt, das die Akusik nicht mit Dröhnen, Blechern oder Wummern überlagert, sondern glasklar und authentisch verstärkt. Die erstaunlich kleine Kiste ist natürlich keine PA, produziert aber einen kraftvollen, dynamischen Sound, der sowohl mir als Künstler (zur Kontrolle), als auch dem Publikum ein Hörerlebnis bietet. Gitarre, Gesang und Bluetooth Einspieler klingen transparent und sehr schön. Alleine Rockgenre klingt zu 'weich', was wahrscheinlich am sparsamen Setting der Digitalen Endstufe liegt, die schließlich bis zu 15h mit einer Akkuladung arbeitet. Und ist dann doch eine Steckdose in der Nähe, lässt sich das A1BR8 mit einer zusätzlichen Aktivbox (z.B. FBT MaxX 2a) zu einer smarten, hochwertigen Stereo-PA ergänzen.
FAZIT: TOP, vielseitig, super Potis, hochwertig in Klang u technischer Verarbeitung. Die Ecken des-MDF-Gehäuses wirken allerdings nur bedingt roadtauglich. Aber auf dieses Baby passt man gerne etwas besser auf. Kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag wäre es, die rückseitigen Beschriftungen nicht "unter" die Knöpfe zu verstecken, da kleine Brüller wie der A1BR8 wohl eher nicht auf Kopfhöhe agieren. Bei der vorhandenen Akkupower wäre zum USB Charger ein schaltbarer DC Ausgang 9-12V noch DIE Ergänzung zum Speisen der Lieblingseffektpedals.
Dennoch beide Daumen hoch für Elite Acoustics ;-) das Warten auf dieses Produkt hat sich gelohnt.

belle qualité
jfvin 20.08.2017
je cherchais depuis quelques temps un petit ampli avec accus , pour pouvoir etre amplifié sans prise 220.
Il y a peu de références (yamaha en propose quelques uns, mais cher et petits, je crois qu'on paye le look et la marque) , mais j'ai choisi celui ci : possibilité de mixer deux voire trois voies (typiquement guitare + voix). avec des effets réglables par voie, et en plus une entrée Bluetooth , pour faire un ampli d'extérieur de super bonne qualité et autonomie.
Du coup toute la famille s'en sert : ampli guitare acoustique en petit groupe (pour typiquement accompagner un ch½ur) , ampli pour les fiesta d'ado en bluetooth, et probablement bientôt en ampli de rue. (et en plus il peut charger votre smartphone)

Des effets sympas et tout plein de boutons et de fonctionnalités que je vous laisse découvrir sur les photos.

A noter que la recharge complète est longue (à partir de 0 , je dirais 24 heures), et que la notice est surtout (ou totalement) en anglais.

Le poids est ici un bon signe de qualité, sûrement dû aux accus + amplis.
