Seriously, The Boss Acoustic singer Pro is just fantastic. I have the Pro singer and I am delighted and very happy with it. Fantastic sound and how sick that this amp can recognise guitar chords you play. It is amazing, built very well and has all the features. A score of 10 for me.
Just bought one...so damn good....the chorus effect is perfect...very subtle which is the way chorus should be...just a touch.. Boss really knocked it out of the park with this one. It is just...musical sounding.
I didn't know John sang-and darn well! Nice performance at the top. Oh, and cool review demo. You mention at the top that you are using the direct outs, but also that you've mic'd the amp (as we can see). What are we hearing? A mix of the directs and mic? It would have been great to hear just the mic'd amp at some point.
I have a question about the volume of the amp Nathan. I live in a high rise bachelor apartment. Do you think this amp would be too loud? I play acoustic fingerstyle guitar which is really quite quiet as far a volume levels go.
@@bol.8749 Thanks Bo. I've been doing tons of research on Acoustic Guitar Amps. I know people reading this column are interested in these type of amps. So here is one of the nicest Acoustic Guitar Amps I heard. I've listened to many. This is the one I will probably get. Loads of options and Portable also. ruclips.net/video/gbvDkUPgrDE/видео.html
Note that the volume and gain knob is very low !!! because if you increase you only hear hiss and feedback !!! and this has no control on this amplifier. I'll let you know until this is fixed, I don't want others to lose your money like me !!!
Yeah. OK - you got me over the line. I went and test drove this today - along with my D20 Ashton and a Seymour Duncan Woody pickup (just bought). Was wondering how the pickup would go - so plugged in and tried a couple of amps. More than that. I put a deposit on the live 60watt Boss before I left. I loved the the tone - it grabbed me as soon as the strings were hit. You know when you know - right?
John held up two different Boss pedals: FS-SU and FS-5L. I don't understand as John didn't say how he was using them. Can anyone shed light on the pedals. I sure would love a demo for both pedals. Thanks!
@OfficialModern gonna like it for sure. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, it hasn't been officially been delivered yet . I'm getting it thoroughly checked along with some other equipment to make sure it's completely functional and not having problems.
So this thing has been around a long time? Can the loop be recorded, stopped, and restarted? Thanks for the last bit of song demonstrating the harmonizing.
Good to know about the pedal. The fact that Boss doesn't include a pedal so they can make an extra buck is enough to have me pass on this amp. BTW, don't blame John for bringing this issue up . . . . . . I would've asked anyway and then passed on it. Quit squeezing musicians Boss ! ! ! We all got hit pretty hard by the pandemic leaving us with no place to ply our trade. Trying giving us a break ! ! ! !
that does sound really good. I hadn't known guitars to sound good plugged in like that. But maybe's time. Can you recommend some really good electric acoustics?
I'm getting this amp in two weeks and plan to use it for church once this pandemic ends. My church's maximum capacity is 175 people. Is 60 watts more than loud enough for all of them to hear?
Will someone do a GOOD shootout of acoustic "busking" amps/setups? (Calling all guitar channels!) Not just a beginner amp shootout, I mean like "that pedal show" style. Hour long vid of comparison between the top acoustic amps and the best tools (pedals etc.) for using the loops etc.
Harmoniser stopped working (Even with level up to full) There is a tiny bit but very faint, you can hardly hear it? Any suggestions as to why this should suddenly stop working?
I’m picking this amp up soon for acoustic performances on You Tube. What gear where you using to record the review because it sounded great for the songs you sung. Thanks
When I record a loop by pressing the button on the guitar amplifier, there is no problem in switching between the loops. But when I start with the footswitch and record the time between loops, I wait about 1 second and then start again, which breaks the rhythm. What would be the reason?
Can I use this without playing guitar? Can I use the harmonizing effect just singing or do I need a guitar for the amplifier to harmonize with my voice? * i’m learning guitar but for the most part I’ll only sing. If not can you recommend an amplifier that a person who only sings can use that has many of the same features as this one?
Tim Gilbert He means using the amp between the guitar / voice and the desk / input as a direct output without relying on the actual speaker in the amp. This way you just use the brains of the amp and not the heart, which is a good way to get big sounds on the more affordable side of things.
Perfect for a coffee house, I just used it onstage at a casino. It was direct out through the pa but onstage I had plenty headroom. I have the pro but it's only 3 more decibels.
Hopefully in the 4 years since you left this comment, your not watching RUclips videos to hear tone of a friggin amp. Even videos shot in 4k plugged into a high end stereo, and your not getting a good representation. The solution? Mic the amp to record at high quality. You friggin potato.
I'm sorry, not just to hate on, but this cat is a horrible reviewer. Could he be any less enthused? Could he give more of a side eye diss to those who use certain features? "C'mon man. It's handy, if that's your thing." WTF?

Reckon is can be loud enough for background music at a wedding? and is the quality decent enough or best for practicing? thanks buddy

Brilliant demo, great version of 16 tons. Many Thanks.
You play very well! Thanks for your demo
yeah, I am totally getting this piece of gear...
Thanks John!
Just got one of these. I HIGHLY recommend these! They're freaking great!
Nathan Thanks for the customer recommendation. Nice hearing it from someone who actually tried it. Lol
I have a question about the volume of the amp Nathan. I live in a high rise bachelor apartment. Do you think this amp would be too loud? I play acoustic fingerstyle guitar which is really quite quiet as far a volume levels go.
@@joa5739 it has a head phone jack sounds great too. It can go from really low to blasting as far as the speaker goes. Clarity is incredible.
They're great I like to get the bundle package and saved a lot of money from Kraft music I know I did

What about a Foot Controller for the Boss Acoustic singer amp series?
Foot control for Guitar and Mic effects?
This is still great, no problems at all use it all the time. I use it for gigs, practice everything. It's as great as it was from day one.
Note that the volume and gain knob is very low !!! because if you increase you only hear hiss and feedback !!! and this has no control on this amplifier. I'll let you know until this is fixed, I don't want others to lose your money like me !!!

Great video. This is the final thing that swayed me in my choice, and I couldn't be happier. Thanks!
I definitely need this one some day 💜 I had a Fender Acoustasonic which I sold.
FilippaQ did you get one? like the built in looper, but it's only 40 seconds max
Just bought mine... best investment I’ve made since I first bought a looper for Acoustic coffeehouse style gigs
@@jonbarwick5946 What foot switch arrangement did you run with the amp for the looper? Or did you use your original looper with this amp?
Awesome man! Nice review, great singing/playin!
Just got one a couple weeks ago, AWESOME. BIG SOUND, love it best amp I've ever bought. Great for solo performer sounds great.
Please help me
@@illuviium ?
Bo L. It works. I got it lol
@@illuviium awesome bro!

one for loop, one for harmony (one for chorus...)
Another great review by John. But when I buy the gear, I never sound as good as him 😄. Keep on trucking Hippy John.
Getting one of these babies in a week. Can't wait to try it out along with all of the tonal possibilities it provides
@OfficialModern gonna like it for sure. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, it hasn't been officially been delivered yet . I'm getting it thoroughly checked along with some other equipment to make sure it's completely functional and not having problems.
@OfficialModern Yup. It's actually gonna be delivered soon. I just have to pick a date. (Unless there are more complications).
Anyone know if John has recorded 16 Tons and if so where I could download it? This is fantastic.
This sounds great! And your singing was fantastic, your voice reminds me of Grayson Capps. Well done as usual sir!
Can you pause what you've recorded on the looper then add it back in?
Yes. You tap the B button twice to stop and once to start. Considering you are using the pedal that comes with it.
Sounded Great tested with pga 58 Mic and inexpensive Martin today Sold
So this thing has been around a long time? Can the loop be recorded, stopped, and restarted? Thanks for the last bit of song demonstrating the harmonizing.

yes definitley
Boss should throw in the foot pedal. If that did I would buy one !
Great review , think this is going to be my next purchase
Love that black Cole Clark!! @ColeClarkGuitarsAU
ALL AROUND GREAT AMP...I LOVE IT...YOU CAD DO WHAT EVERY..,., floats your boat
Will someone do a GOOD shootout of acoustic "busking" amps/setups? (Calling all guitar channels!) Not just a beginner amp shootout, I mean like "that pedal show" style. Hour long vid of comparison between the top acoustic amps and the best tools (pedals etc.) for using the loops etc.
Hola, ¿cómo haces los loops?
Nice pipes John!
Nice amp. Nice guitar too! I like that the amp has a looper and although I hate that BOSS loves to nickel and dime us it's going on my wish list.
danmar007 40 s no more 👎
Chorus weirdos? Love it.
Harmoniser stopped working (Even with level up to full) There is a tiny bit but very faint, you can hardly hear it?
Any suggestions as to why this should suddenly stop working?
Wow, that is a nice little amp!!!
Would I need a foot switch for each channel ? Ie one for 🎸 one for mic 🎙 ?
It didn’t come with any I brought the boss double switch pedal love it though great fun ,shame you can’t switch through the different vocal melodies
Great job John.
What pedal should i buy to control the looper? Gonna order tonight.
Latching or non latching pedal?
I’m guessing we can pair that stereo with another guitar//bass amp speaker 4 stereo?
I've been out of the loop..this is an excellent amp.
#chorusweirdos
haha!
Great review. Looks like a really versatile one box solution for solo gigging.
I’m picking this amp up soon for acoustic performances on You Tube. What gear where you using to record the review because it sounded great for the songs you sung. Thanks
No 3 part harmony option?
Boss Acoustic Singer Pro (or Live) Amplifiers vs Boss VE8 Acoustic Singer - Which is Better?
That's a million dollar question! Anybody? Trying to decide myself....
When I record a loop by pressing the button on the guitar amplifier, there is no problem in switching between the loops.
But when I start with the footswitch and record the time between loops, I wait about 1 second and then start again, which breaks the rhythm. What would be the reason?
I'm having the same problem did you ever figure it out?
Me too, it sounds the record never catch the rhythm
@@willwang455 Interestingly, the problem resolved on its own. Occasionally it happens again, but I couldn't find the reason.
Pretty cool, i Will Buy it!!!
No_1, I used that you show too.
Cuanto es el valor
Can I get a good clean sound for my electric guitar?
What is the last song’s name you played in the end.
Grateful Dead-Friend of the Devil
Is this better than fishman loudbox tonewise ?
How long is the looper?
🔵 thanks ❕ great demo ❕
Okay Boss, let's go ahead and spit out V2.
Can I use this without playing guitar?
Can I use the harmonizing effect just singing or do I need a guitar for the amplifier to harmonize with my voice?
* i’m learning guitar but for the most part I’ll only sing.
If not can you recommend an amplifier that a person who only sings can use that has many of the same features as this one?
Adale Jean-Noel then u can use any amp with echo/reverb if ur focus is vocals
The advantage of this is that it will provide harmonies based on what the instrument channel is playing.
What do you mean "the money is using it as a pre-amp and running it direct"?
Tim Gilbert He means using the amp between the guitar / voice and the desk / input as a direct output without relying on the actual speaker in the amp. This way you just use the brains of the amp and not the heart, which is a good way to get big sounds on the more affordable side of things.
Instead of course they should have put a slapback delay
Nice man!! That’s all I got.
You may be a distant cousin of Steve Vai :) Just your mannerisms
Too bad you can't do three part harmony on that.
Definitely suited for the one man band (singer/player).
Wich is the song's name?
16 Tons by Tennessee Ford
Chorus weirdos 🤣 sounds wicked 👍
I know it sounds insane, but I think this model sounds better than the Mesa Rosette.
Why the shade for chorus loving people? lol
👏
how loud, could it suffice to play in a coffee bar
Perfect for a coffee house, I just used it onstage at a casino. It was direct out through the pa but onstage I had plenty headroom. I have the pro but it's only 3 more decibels.
Good one. Its also going to be way easier to carry around
@@bol.8749 so you have the pro and its 120 watts with 8 inch woofer and dome tweeter. You played at a Casino, fairly big venue
@@diesekaltewelt807 yes, we were through the mains but on stage I could hear myself great. Love this amp!
@@diesekaltewelt807 I will say the looper is tricky to get the hang of but they all are, I only use it at home though.
"if you're one of those chorus weirdos". hahaha.
This demo sucked, especially vocals.
ブラックのコールクラークの方が目立ってる（笑）
This demo is worthless. The mic in front of the amp goes to other speakers so we cant hear the one we would be buying.
Hopefully in the 4 years since you left this comment, your not watching RUclips videos to hear tone of a friggin amp. Even videos shot in 4k plugged into a high end stereo, and your not getting a good representation. The solution? Mic the amp to record at high quality. You friggin potato.
Reverb kills articulation and detail
C'mon man.
I'm sorry, not just to hate on, but this cat is a horrible reviewer. Could he be any less enthused? Could he give more of a side eye diss to those who use certain features? "C'mon man. It's handy, if that's your thing." WTF?
