    I was hoping it had a self programmable Impulse Response feature.... I really like the way a journeytek under bridgeplate pickup sounds (k&k mini alternative.. that I think don't better). When you make a impulse response of your own guitar, with one of these pickups, It's shocking how close you can get to a mic'd guitar sound without needing to use an internal or external mic... Especially in a mix. No quack... Lots of body and acoustic guitar sound dynamics.... Non-invasive in any acoustic guitar.... Almost indestructible too.

    Great UA-cam channel. I am happy to subscribe :) I am glad that you did this review as I was curious about Jon Gomm acoustic amp for some time. In your opinion, can this amp tonaly compete with Bose L1 or Yamaha Stagepas 1K you have - for vocals and guitar? I know they both have more volume, but I am asking about the beauty of tone only. I am thinking of getting two Sonnet 60 amps instead of Bose or Yamaha. Thank you.

    Thank you so much for this video. I do a solo show on the Alabama Gulf Coast guitar and vocals and I use a loop pedal for my leads. Last summer I lost my voice because of cancer and I’ve had to go to using my loop Paul, and doing just instrumental shows. It works but I’m like you I’m tired of just the same sound all the time. I really like the mojo Mojo pedal does. I may have to try that I know I’m looking for something again thank you for all that you do.

    Hi Lewis, have been running a Street Cube EX which is 50W for café and pub gigs. I just need a cleaner louder sound as I take on more gigs. I have been saving and eyeing off the L1 Pro 8 and the L1 Pro 16 and am just a little worried if I get the smaller of the two I will regret it. Would you say that the L1 8 is loud enough and clean enough for medium indoor and outdoor gigs. I’m talking pub and wedding gigs acoustic. Probably 80-150 people type venue?
