Nice video. I've got new valves in the post and will see which set sound best. After that, I think that the open back mod (on YT), will make more difference than replacing the speaker. I'll use the existing back and put a hinged opening at its base. The speaker is the last thing I'd try 'cos I like the stock Vox ones - I think they just sound boxy, fully enclosed. If I do try another speaker, I'll certainly try the GB.

Was there any break in on the greenback. New speakers "wake up" with about 20 hours of playing on them.

The Fishman renders a more complex harmonic rendering. The midrange seems richer (I don't mean fuller). It's probably why vocals seem better rendered on it.

Nice video!!! just like the prs one, with diferent configuration on the pickup selection. Only one question... with this switch are you able to make 5 different positions with two humbuckers? for example... position 1: bridge humbucker, position 2: outer coils split in pararell, position 3: both humbuckers in pararel, position 4: inter coils split in pararell, position 5: neck humbucker. I hope i get an answer, even so really cool video man thanks again.

Good job, I want to do exactly this on an SG bass, adding a middle pickup for more Thunderbirdy tones.

What if it was just a 2 pole, but 5 position rotary?

Excellent video 😮!

I have not found the Fishman to be lacking in volume, and the tone is much fuller and richer. I have great confidence when performing with the Fishman. Never had that with the Fender

Can you explain the difference if I want to install a rotary into a traditional Strat layout with one volume and two tone pots?

Please note that all pots should be grounded. This was missed on the diagram, which is my mistake.

thanks so much!!!!!

Please...Do you have a schematics Crate G160xl?

Can I get a dia 1/2" rotary switch for instrument?

Is there a way to have tone control on bridge pickup.

Not enough treble eq on both

I just bought a used G60XL and worked fine for 2 days, now the Channel switch is not working, is stuck on B CHANNEL Can you please tell me if there’s a fix? Thank you 🙏🏻

Do you know if the line outputs are balanced ((TRS)

Where are the grounds from the pickups going ? could you show an example for the grounding on this setup

Nothing sounds like an AC-10.

Fishman sounds more full ✅

Wich size of the string better?

Too bad the Line Out on the Fender is an XLR, since in most cases, I'd prefer a 1/4 inch since the other end would go into a DI Box, although I do have a PRO CO cable that has one of each on either end of its cable. I have a Crate Acoustic Amp, 30w, for a long time, but now is starting to act up on me. It was two distinct inputs, one clean, and one with FX, and a 1/4 in Line Out.

Looks horrible, cheap and out of place.

How can i get to the input? If i take the top off, will i be able to get to it?

Good playing subbed

You didn’t want to go with the 6 way rotary to get neck and bridge as well?

Cómo sé, si la comparación es real ya que veo todo el tiempo el amp Fender sin conectar y el Fishman no se logra enfocar en su totalidad.

I bought a Cream AC10 with a stock speaker and a Black one that came with a Creamback and JJ Tubes. Never have been fond of the tone of JJ's. TBit, the Cream AC10 with the stock speaker sounds warm, yet articulate. The Black AC10 just sounds too bright for my taste. I've compared them at home and at gigs. Anyway, I bought a used Vox VX10 stock speaker and will be changing out the Creamback.

guarantee the original caps were better than the cheap junk you put in to fix

Been watching a bunch of videos about this amp and the money seems to be better spent on upgrading the tubes.

2:12 DOGGIE !!!!!

Hello mate, do you know which schematic is the right one for this? I think I've got the same amp, it looks the same inside but could never find the exact one for it.

Nice demo. I felt right from the beginning what you summed up. I am looking for an amp to use in my home and to have intimate gigs too. Doyou think this Fishman Loadbox Mini will do the job?

I have the baby version of this.. the Transfex 258. Great little amp.. A celestion should sound really good in there! Thank you for posting this!

Yo tengo un acoustic de esos mismos y suena espectacular

IC amps can be very sensitive to any output short circuits. I have accidentally ruined a few just because I was too rushed to test a repair and simply got sloppy with clips attached to speaker leads. At least they’re cheap and readily available

Hello I have a crate gx-212c it doesn't have pots like this, but I can't figure out why it cuts in and out, and then the level knob makes it shoot to max volume if barely touched, and the dirty channel will get the volume right but won't have any of the crunch. Could I email you a video of my issue?

No other acoustic amp sounds better than a Fishman. I have the Fishman Mini, and I use it at home and on stage for solos and as a monitor and it's natural acoustic qualities are top tier. No other amp even comes close.

I have an Fender Acoustisonic 90 and have no complaints. Even sounds decent using with my Tele.

Not noticeable enough to be worth the money. Obviously greenbacks are great but its a testament to how good that stock speaker is. Love mine

I have to agree with what others have said. The main issue is the Pixco speed booster, which I am getting for my Takumar lenses, but more to shoot wide open or close to wide open. I find when I use this lens on a normal adaptor I don't have any of these issues, and that it is quite sharp across the frame.

I heard a rich, warm, full sound with the Acoustic. The Fishman sounded as if you were playing inside of a large tin can - hollow and empty sounding. My vote is obvious.

My big question is how do each of them do when the volume is turned up beyond 9 o'clock? At that setting neither unit is being pushed very hard. I play a Martin TK1 ukulele with a LR Boggs 5.0 pickup. I play with-out a pick. My Fender Acoustisonic 40 has the clearest tone I've found using 10, 12 and 2 o'clock on bass, mid, treble. But I need more through-put and the Fender starts sounding muddy before I get to 12 o'clock on volume. Wasn't enough to do a driveway gig in our neighborhood. I'm all in on a Fishman if the tone is as clear and if I can ramp up the overall volume without getting muddy. How does the tone sound with the volume at 12 o'clock or more? Any comments?

Good tip about the small size of the holes. I wired mine up and couldn’t get it to produce any output on any of the pickups. I think my mistake was letting some wires share a contact when connecting them to the freeway switch. For example, the nodes on the switch labeled NH, B, MH, and BT. You’re saying the wires AND the soldering material between the two holes cannot touch?? If so, my next step will be to remove all the wires, heat and remove the soldering material from the contacts, get out my magnifying glass, and start again lol

Couple of new tones that sound great! Perfect video thanks!

This was truly an unfair comparison. You give a price range and then pick an amp at the bottom of it, and an amp at the top of it (being about twice the price as the lower one). To be fair you needed to compare a higher model of the Fender against the Fishman. The Fishman is great, but for the price the Fender 40 is (imo) amazing.

Agree with comments about how the Fender was EQd. Personally I like a lot more bass and mids out of an amp.

nice one .. you're using a condenser mic, right? i wish you have also tested the guitar plugged .. but yeah i think the acoustic 20 sounds warmer than the loudbox mini unplugged ❤

Would a 12 inch Greenback fit in an AC10? I swapped a Greenback in another amp that came with the AC10 speaker(Celestion Seventy 80) and it definitely handles gain better. Cleans are pretty similar. Actually prefer the stock speaker in this video though.
