Okay, so its the unplugged forum, but its an acoustic guitar :p

I have a Takamine EF, which has a Takamine CT4B pre amp in it. Up untill now, ive always used it as just an acoustic, but now the gigs are getting bigger, and I feel some amplitude is needed!

I would prefer a combo really, rather than a PA, for the simplicity. I was checking out the Marshall AS50R, as for £200, it seems pretty good. It also has an XLR socket on channel two, so I can use it for my mic aswell! Even better!

Ive not had much experience with acoustic amps, so if you've any recomendations, that would be good! Budget maybe up to £400ish, but the less the better really :p

Cheers,

James :)
