Comments about Fishman Loudbox Mini PRO-LBX-500 60W 1x6.5 Acoustic Combo Amp:
Well I have owned the Loud Box Mini for two years now and I love the unit! I must say that it does not cut the mustard on a loud stage. You know the situation I mean. Full band with electric guitars roaring you have to have this amp pointing right at you and even then, nope. So there is no amp headroom left for clarity.
However, in all other types of gigs it is a dream come true. Super clean sound of my guitar but much louder! My vocal sounds just like a decent PA at lower volumes (in-door gigs). The chorus effect only has two dialed-in sounds, but hey how many different chorus sounds do you need? I have used the Aux inputes to trigger effects and sounds from my Boss RC-2 pedal, very handy.
I was in the middle of a large festival gig last weekend and used the phase button to stop feedback. On that gig I used the amp as my floor monitor with the PA pushing 750 watts in the monitor speakers. Just used the DI on amp to send acoustic guitar only to the PA. Was not loud enough so I had to add my guitar to monitor mix and then of course that makes the acoustic guitar too loud for others in the band. Funny thing was that the solo musician who played before our band was using the LBX-600 (He knew)! I live in Medford Oregon and it was the old home of Musician's Friend so there are many savvy musicians here.
The single DI output is ok for small gigs (when your not recording) but causes any decent sound person fits cause they can't separate the lead vocal from the acoustic (so save your pennies and buy the 120w ver. With its two, channel DI's.) I am thankful each time I reach into the back of the car to pick up this amp. My back says thanks each time yours will too. Heck if you are under thirty maybe you should buy something heavy so you can have "back in my day" stories, but if not then buy this amp. I am now saving my money for the LBX-600. Which is only a little heavier than the Mini. Then I will give the Mini to my son (gosh, I wish I had had a Dad like me…) lol.
The final thing is this amp has gone up in price from when I bought it. When that happens, you know two things. One is Fishman has raised the price to keep quality up and two is all the working musicians out there know this is still great deal! I pride myself on buying the best gear for the lowest price. So buy it now or the next size up and start rocking it!

Comments about Fishman Loudbox Mini PRO-LBX-500 60W 1x6.5 Acoustic Combo Amp:
I tried a lot of "practice" amps for use with my acoustic guitar before buying this one. For the size and price I really could not find a better sounding amp than this one. Also, this amp has lines in and out on the back to allow for direct recording out or hooking up accessories going in. Other brands I tried sounded very weak for the wattage and they did not offer as many features as this one. Plus, the overall sound on this is sweet ... something I would expect from Fishman anyway. The other brands I tried were less suitable for the acoustic sound I wanted.
The vocal mic channel sounded just a great as the instrument channel. I have a Sennheiser e845 and I am extremetly happy with the sound.
Only because this amp is 60w I would not really try to play live with this anywhere bigger than a coffee shop. But the sound quality and volume can't be beat for a box this small. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting a nicely featured combo amp.

Comments about Fishman Loudbox Mini PRO-LBX-500 60W 1x6.5 Acoustic Combo Amp:
Like everyone says, this is a first-rate acoustic amp that is inexpensive, small and portable. I would add that I use it for some electrics too: a Fender FR-55 steel resonator with a National Resophonic humbucker added, a Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin II with twin P90s and an Eastwood Airline Folkstar resonator with a NY mini humbucker and cone-piezo. My one and only beef about the tone is that it lacks the warmth of a tube amp.

Comments about Fishman Loudbox Mini PRO-LBX-500 60W 1x6.5 Acoustic Combo Amp:
This is a terrific little amp! Small, but very impressive sound. The reverb and chorus sound great! Plenty of volume too. The only complaint was the knobs. As close as they are together, they seemed ergonomically wrong. I think Fishman would benefit by changing knobs. I replaced mine with knobs from an old mixer they feel much better. A minor issue, but worth mentioning. All in all, I will keep this amp as my main acoustic rig, and feed a PA if needed.

The Fishman Loudbox Mini is the perfect amp for an acoustic guitar player playing small gigs. If I were to design my own amp the Loudbox Mini would be the result.
I love this thing !!!!

Comments about Fishman Loudbox Mini PRO-LBX-500 60W 1x6.5 Acoustic Combo Amp:
Wonderful amp. Mine is borrowed, but I've just ordered one of my own. Really nice, smooth, very acoustic sounding. Very tightly built, doesn't rattle when turned up, nice FX. Lightweight, I use it on an amp stand as a monitor or main. I've bought and used an Ibanez Troubador and a small Ultrasound... neither is in the same ballpark as this little jewel.

Comments about Fishman Loudbox Mini PRO-LBX-500 60W 1x6.5 Acoustic Combo Amp:
I was looking for an acoustic guitar amp and decided the best place to start was to go to the guitar manufacturer for recommendations. Without hesitation my contact at Breedlove Guitars said to go with the Fishman Loudbox Mini. This amp is small, light-weight and sounds great. Plenty of features to expand for my home use.
