Rarely played 2025 Taylor Circa 74 acoustic/vocal amplifier in exceptional, near-mint condition.  Designed by Bob Taylor as a "side project" to create an amplifier that functions as both high-fidelity audio gear and fine furniture, this unit represents the pinnacle of aesthetic and sonic warmth for the discerning acoustic performer. This amplifier offers a unique blend of vintage 1970s styling and modern reliability.

Warm, Natural Tone and Architecture

Unlike clinical, flat-response PA systems, the Circa 74 is voiced specifically for musicality.  Its solid wood cabinet contributes to a warm, resonant foundation that eliminates the harsh, brittle highs common in other acoustic amps.  The heart of the system is a custom-voiced 10-inch full-range speaker driven by 150 watts of clean, solid-state power.  This configuration provides ample headroom for coffee houses, small venues, and studio work, delivering a "shiny, smooth" tone that covers a broad sonic spectrum for both guitar and vocals.

Features and Connectivity

This amplifier is designed for the solo performer or duo, featuring two independent channels with dedicated 3-band EQ and Room Reverb controls for each.

Channel Flexibility: Channel A accepts both XLR (dynamic microphone) and 1/4" inputs, while Channel B is optimized for instrument input.

Modern Conveniences: Built-in Bluetooth connectivity allows for wireless streaming of backing tracks or audio from smartphones, alongside a standard 1/8" auxiliary input and a headphone jack for silent practice.

Direct Out: Equipped with XLR and 1/4" line outputs for direct connection to a house PA system or recording interface.
