Nice Sounding Acoustic Portable Amp

By: on 11 July 2022
I recently got back into playing acoustic guitars and wanted a nice sounding, portable acoustic style amp that I could also run on battery. I looked at a few but eventually settled on this Joyo Battery Powered Amp. I haven't bought a Joyo amp before, but I've purchased plenty of their pedals and always found them to sound great and good value. So it was a no brainer to get this. It's got twin 6.5" speakers, pumps out 20W per speaker, has a stated running time of about 3hrs and some built in effects. What really sold me on this was the built in effects - you gotta have chorus/delay/reverb for any acoustic amp and this has them all (and can use simultaneously). It's amazing how many actually don't. While it has a separate mic channel, it only has a reverb effect. The guitar channel has all the normal suspects with Master Volume, bass, middle and treble. Once you've got these right, your guitar can generally take care of any tweaks with its EQ to your desire. Considering it's only 20W per speaker, the output power is pretty good and you could do a small give with it. It did take a while for the battery to re-charge back up again, but I got a few hours out of it playing at moderate levels. Being so small, it could probably use some kick stands, or just pop it up on a table or chair. For me this was the best pick out of the bunch of acoustic amps. Great value for the price and glad I bought this. BTW Do yourself a favour and watch the associated Youtube video and have a laugh. The kid playing the guitar is miming really bad LOL. So it begs the question how the actual amp sounded and what they actually ran the voice through, because it wasn't this amp. It does sound pretty good though.

Happy to get this for those times when 240volts is unavailable. My Artist fretless bass works well with it along with acoustic bass & guitar. Well worth the money & the tiny amount of hiss mentioned by others is not noticeable if you are playing & not listening for obscure little faults. Compact size too..**Gerard, Port Kembla**

First unit I received was faulty, battery problem. Contacted Artist, Jeremy, and was assured all would be fixed. Sure enough Artist provided free return to shop and despatched another amp , which I received in super fast time. This amp works perfectly, no humm, hiss, just great natural acoustic sound. The way Artist backed up the product was absolutely phenomenal. Big thanks to Jeremy and Jason for their efforts to fix things. The service provided easily top class, highly recommend Artist Guitars for gear and service!!

I have only had the amp for about a week and haven't used it outdoors as yet, but probably enough to say that I pulled it out of the box and two hours later was still playing. It's great. Love the three effects being mixable and I'm having heaps of fun playing to the delay. Great sound when you've got the timing together. The mic input having independant volume and reverb is excellent. The hiss that some people have mentioned is just not an issue. I can't see why it would bother anyone who wasn't looking to nit-pick. Super prompt delivery. And all so affordable. I bought it because I had busked at a market the week before with a borrowed battery-powered amp that was very poor in comparison. Thankyou very much. I love it.

noisy hiss

I bought one and the noisy hiss is very noticeable. People comment on it. I wouldn't have bought it if I had known it would be so loud. It's not a fault just bad design. Avoid

I am getting a great sound from this amp with my Cole Clark Angel acoustic guitar. The fx are all I need and I am looking forward to experimenting further to get the most from this amazing little amp.

Great!

I purchased this amp to use with a double bass in situations where power is not available. What I have found with other battery amps of a similar size (not to mention price!) is the output level just doesn't cut it. With addition of a pedal graphic eq, the sound is very good and cuts through with a full band while still retaining an authentic acoustic bass sound. Played for 5-6 hours before I charged the battery again just in case. And as a bonus it sounds great with my hollow body 6-string jazzbox. Great purchase!

I've now bought a few instruments through Artist and have been well pleased each time. A couple of acoustic guitars - nylon and steel string. Both perfectly fit for purpose. Excellent value for money. The latest experience is no exception. I had a small modelling amp which I was using with the guitars but was never delighted by the sound - too harsh and brittle. Plus I liked the idea of something that didn't have to be plugged into the mains. The Joyo AC40 is that amp. Very simple to use. And a nice, warm sound when used with the two Artist guitars. Again, excellent value for money.

Everything I expected I got. Excellent effects . Great sound for an acoustic slide guitar set up with pick up. Enough power to run with my one man band drum kit.

Wonderful amp

I can't believe the quality of this amp for the price. Sounds great, very good effects and easily powerful enough to use for smaller gigs, indoor and out. So glad I purchased one.

Tone as good for tenth of price

AM very happy with this amp, the built in effects are good quality and the overall tone is excellent, my Ovation sounds dreamy! I wanted a top quality amp but did not want to pay thousands, this is a bargain for what you get. I immediately used it in my studio and recorded! Very Happy...!

I purchased this for a at home practice amp, having 40 watts it is loud and clear. The built in battery allows me to use it anywhere for up to 3 hours, it is awesome. Delivered three days earlier than predicted, excellent job all round Artist Guitars.
