AER Alpha Acoustic Amplifier
SKU: ALPHAThe AER Alpha is a remarkably compact 40-watt acoustic combo built for the studio, the small stage and the rehearsal room, packing the brand's renowned full-range tone into a 6-kilogram cube that travels easily by hand. Its single channel houses two independent input stages so a high-impedance instrument and a microphone or second line source can run side by side, each shaped by a three-band EQ and an internal digital reverb that flatters acoustic guitars, vocals and most other unplugged instruments. A balanced XLR DI carries that polished signal straight to the front-of-house console while a parallel effect loop, headphone, tuner and dual-footswitch outputs keep the amp at home in serious working setups. AER's hand-built German construction in waterbased-acrylic-finished birch plywood gives the Alpha the quiet, dynamic, exceptionally natural response that has made the Acoustic People a benchmark for unplugged amplification.
