The way it handles your particular guitar, pickup system and singing voice makes all the difference. At Bonners, our musical instrument specialists can help you understand the Acompass 60's features and decide whether it's the right amplifier for the way you perform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNatural Guitar Tone with Yamaha AMBIENCE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn electro-acoustic guitar can sound quite different when plugged in. Piezo pickups are convenient and widely used, but they can sometimes emphasise a hard, direct quality and lose some of the resonance you hear when playing unplugged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acompass 60's \u003cstrong\u003eAMBIENCE\u003c\/strong\u003e control is designed to address that problem. It recreates a sense of the guitar's natural body resonance and airiness, helping your amplified sound feel warmer and more organic. Rather than demanding complicated adjustments, a single control lets you add as much as your guitar needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dedicated \u003cstrong\u003eENHANCER\u003c\/strong\u003e function can also restore high-frequency detail and clarity, while the guitar channel's three-band EQ lets you tailor bass, middle and treble to your instrument and the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Vocal Channel That's More Than an Afterthought\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a singer-songwriter, a great guitar tone is only half the story. The Acompass 60 was designed to reproduce vocals with the same care and clarity as the acoustic guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth channels feature \u003cstrong\u003eYamaha D-PRE discrete Class-A preamps\u003c\/strong\u003e, technology originally developed for Yamaha's high-end recording equipment. On the vocal\/instrument channel, the simple \u003cstrong\u003eCOMP\u003c\/strong\u003e control helps even out changes in singing volume and adds presence, so quieter phrases can remain audible without making you feel you have to push your voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndividual REVERB controls help vocals and guitar sit together naturally, creating a cohesive sound that suits solo performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExcellent Sound Without Complicated Setup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYamaha has made the Acompass 60 straightforward to operate. Each channel has its own gain, three-band EQ and effects controls, with input settings that suit different signal levels. The guitar channel includes HIGH\/LOW input selection, while the second channel can be configured for a microphone or instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's no app to configure and no need to work through menus. The most important adjustments are right on the amplifier. A one-touch automatic feedback suppressor helps reduce unwanted feedback when you're performing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlexible Connections for Home, Rehearsals and the Stage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a small performance, the Acompass 60 can handle your guitar and microphone together through its own 8-inch speaker. For a larger setup, the \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced XLR line output\u003c\/strong\u003e lets you send your sound to a PA system or suitable recording equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth audio playback and a 3.5mm AUX input make it convenient to play along with backing tracks or other audio sources. A headphone socket is useful for private practice, and switchable phantom power supports compatible condenser microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt just \u003cstrong\u003e8.2kg\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a cabinet measuring approximately 30 × 30 × 31cm, the amplifier is easy to move between home, rehearsals and gigs. \u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e the Acompass 60 operates from mains power and does not contain a rechargeable battery.
