Acousticsonic 100
 This product is no longer available.
The new, Fender Acoustasonic 100 is perfect for the acoustic guitarist who needs a compact, powerful, versatile and great-sounding amp loaded with tonal innovations and useful features.

The Acoustasonic 100 packs full acoustic resonance and crystal clarity into a lightweight (only 18 lbs.) amp with a new, ultra-efficient 100-watt power amp, 8" foam-surround, low-frequency driver and high-frequency tweeter. Its new Voicing control lets any guitar simulate the tonality of parlour, dreadnought and jumbo acoustics, or Voicing can be turned off for pure amp output response. For acoustic players who double on electric guitar, the Voicing control also has Blackface, tweed and British amp settings, which makes a second amp just for electric guitar unnecessary.

Other features include instrument and microphone channels with independent EQ and effects controls; new feedback elimination control with on/off switch for each channel; patented String Dynamics control that tames harsh treble notes; effects, including reverb, delay, chorus, Vibratone and more; XLR line out with level control and ground lift; USB connector for digital recording output (and possible future firmware updates); built-in kick stand for tilt-back positioning; strong, five-ply plywood construction and optional, two-button effects-select footswitch.

Inputs: Two (1/4" Instrument and 1/4" Instrument / XLR Microphone) with Phantom Power
Line Out: Balanced Line Out with Ground Lift and Level Control
Channels: Two (1/4" Instrument and 1/4" MIC / INST)
Power Handling: 100 Watts

Picked this little guy up over the weekend and was glad I did - it's to be discontinued shortly, they told me. The Acoustisonic is sturdy and light and on-board features sound interesting on their own or in combinations. I like the fact it's got a feedback elimination option, and that you can tailor compression and effect leveling to suit your tastes. Without any effects added, the unit does a nice job of reproducing my guitar's natural acoustic tone without sounding tinny, shallow or artificial (which is what we all want, amIright?) The only quibble I have isn't really a problem - I just wish it had an onboard tuner. You really can't go wrong with a Fender amp, and this one's given me satisfaction since I bought it. Farewell, my friend!

For the money this is an amazing little amp. I play and sing at a long term care facility and it works really well with my Martin DC16GTE. Played a little gospel at a church last night and was real happy with the sound. Plenty of volume and plenty of acoustic sound (by far, better than my Carvin acoustic amp). Perfect portable for the kind of venues I perform at.

Purchased this amp to use with both my Gibson J-45 and my American Deluxe Strat. The acoustic voicings as well as effects are excellent, and for an acoustic amp, it doubles well to use for the Strat. Don't buy this if you're expecting Blues Jr III sound, but for jam sessions/gigging it's excellent. Can even be used as a monitor, and has a built in amp stand. Great value for money.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
