Clean sounding, clean looking. All you want for a top quality acoustic amp. Ready to level up? This AC60 is ready to sing.

If you’re evaluating the Roland AC-60 Acoustic Chorus Guitar Amp, these are the features that have made it a favorite among singer-songwriters and acoustic performers for years:

1. Excellent acoustic tone

The AC-60 was designed specifically for acoustic instruments rather than adapted from an electric-guitar amp. Its stereo design and DSP processing deliver a very natural, hi-fi sound that works especially well with piezo-equipped acoustic guitars.  

2. Legendary stereo chorus

This is arguably its signature feature. The built-in stereo/multi-band chorus is lush and spacious without sounding overly processed, and the “Wide” mode creates a surprisingly large soundstage from a compact amp.  

3. Built-in vocal channel

It has separate guitar and mic/line channels, allowing a singer-songwriter to plug in both guitar and microphone without carrying a mixer. The mic input includes 48V phantom power for condenser microphones.  

4. Effective anti-feedback system

Acoustic players know feedback can be a nightmare. The AC-60 includes an Auto Anti-Feedback function that helps you run louder stage volumes before feedback becomes an issue.  

5. Gig-ready connectivity

You get:

• Stereo line outputs for PA systems
• DI/tuner output
• Headphone output
• Subwoofer output
• Footswitch control for effects and mute

That makes it useful both as a personal amp and as part of a larger live rig.  

6. Compact but surprisingly loud

The dual 30-watt stereo power section and two 6.5-inch speakers are enough for coffeehouses, small venues, house concerts, and solo acoustic gigs. Many users report it easily handling rooms of 30–50 people when used for solo performances.  

7. Great all-in-one amp for solo performers

For guitar + vocals, it effectively functions as a mini acoustic PA:

• Guitar channel with EQ and pickup selection
• Vocal channel with phantom power
• Chorus, reverb, and delay onboard
• No external mixer required for many gigs.  

Main weakness

The biggest limitation is volume in a full band setting with drums and bass. It’s excellent for solo and duo acoustic work, but many players eventually move to a larger acoustic amp or PA system for louder ensembles.  

For many players, the standout selling points are the stereo chorus, natural acoustic tone, dual guitar/vocal channels, and anti-feedback system. Those four features are what made the AC-60 a classic acoustic amp despite being discontinued.
