100 Watts of Clean, Acoustic Tone

If you need even more power, try the Roland AC-100. This
incredible amp has set the standard for acoustic guitar
amplification for several years with its unique tri-amped, three­speaker system. You get 100 watts of power, thanks to one
50-watt/12-inch speaker, and two 5-inch speakers rated at 25 watts
each. Exceptional sound quality and the acclaimed Roland chorus
effects make the AC-100 the top choice for acoustic performers
who demand the most powerful and clean sound possible.

Acoustic Chorus Guitar Amplifier

Plug In To Pure, Natural Tone.

A Compact Amp Built for the Acoustic Musician.

Although there are many acoustic amps on the market today, few of them

can compete with the rich, natural tone of the compact AC-60 Acoustic

Chorus amplifier. This innovative stereo amp delivers a crisp sound with

lush chorus effects, plus reverb/delay and impressive Auto Anti-Feedback

control. And with its 2-channel Mic/Line design and stand-mountable

configuration, the AC-60 is clearly heads above the competition.

Big Sound in a Compact Package

Talk about impressive. The AC-60 is a marvel of amplifier design,
using the latest DSP technology to deliver a pure, rich acoustic sound
with projection far beyond its compact size. Inside you’ll find a dual
30-watt/6.5-inch speaker configuration that’s perfect for club gigs and
small PA applications. And if it’s more low-end you crave, the AC-60
even gives you a Subwoofer output.

Convenient 2-Channel Design

The dual-channel AC-60 offers both a Guitar channel and a Mic/Line channel
with Phantom Power. This makes it the perfect companion for coffeehouses
and small club gigs. The Guitar channel gives you a choice between piezo and
magnetic pickup inputs; the Mic/Line channel can accommodate both
dynamic microphones and line-level sources. Both channels feature simple
tone-shaping controls like 3-band EQ and a dedicated chorus switch.

CONTROL PANEL

Impressive DSP Effects

With onboard effects ranging from reverb and delay to impressive Auto
Anti-Feedback control, the AC-60 has everything acoustic musicians need.
Use the delay to create doubling and spacial effects, or apply a touch of
reverb to your guitar or a microphone for increased ambience. The only
thing you won’t have to worry about is feedback, since the AC-60 can
automatically eliminate it with a twist of the Frequency knob.

Ultra-Smooth Chorus Sounds

The AC-60 is blessed with some of the best
stereo/multi-band chorus effects ever found
in a guitar amplifier. Just use the dedicated
Chorus knob to dial in anything from
brilliant, shimmering chorus to more
spacious sounds, courtesy of the newly
developed “Wide” mode.

JC CHORUS™

Like Roland’s popular Jazz Chorus amps,
the AC-60’s chorus effect takes advantage of
the dual-speaker configuration to deliver the
most wide and spacious chorus possible.

Professional Connections

In addition to its Guitar and Mic/Line inputs,
the AC-60 also features a stereo Auxiliary input
for connecting line-level sources like a CD
player. Stereo Line outputs allow for easy
connection to a mixing console or PA system,
while two Footswitch inputs make it possible
to switch the AC-60’s DSP effects and
Anti-Feedback on and off with a click.

A Marvel of Convenience

When it comes to acoustic sound, projection is
of the utmost importance. That’s why the AC-60
features a built-in tilt stand, plus the ability to
mount the unit on conventional speaker stands.
Rounding out this package is a Mute switch for
silent tuning. With so many conveniences,
you’d be hard-pressed to find a better compact
acoustic amp than the Roland AC-60.
