The Fishman Loudbox Artist is a high-powered, surprisingly light-weight acoustic amp with a natural sound and affordable price point. Fishman's legendary tone is spread across two channels, both of which can accept a microphone or instrument signal with 3-band EQ and feedback control. Dual digital effects engines let you put reverb, chorus, flanger and delay effects on both channels to polish your sound to your liking. Auxiliary inputs let you play along to your MP3 or CD player, and a headphone output gives you all the great sound of the Loudbox Artist for silent practice. When it's time for the show, this bi-amplified combo pushes the full frequency spectrum through an 8" woofer and 1" soft dome tweeter for studio-quality sound. If you're a gigging singer songwriter who doesn't want to rely on suspect PA systems, the Loudbox Artist is for you.
