Fishman Loudbox Mini Charge Bundle

The Fishman Loudbox Mini Charge, which is designed for amplifying acoustic guitars and smaller acoustic instruments, is loaded with a 6.5" woofer and 1" tweeter that are driven by a 60W solid-state power stage. Channel 1 features a 6.35mm jack input, a gain control, and a three-band EQ section as well as chorus and reverb effects that can be adjusted separately. Channel 2 features a more sparse set of features but is in turn equipped with an XLR input for microphones - this does not have a phantom power feature, however. Players can also connect their mobile devices to the amp via its 3.5mm AUX input or via the aforementioned Bluetooth interface. The battery will provide approximately four hours of operation at full power, and a charge will last for up to 28 hours if the volume is kept to a modest level.

Fishman is a leading manufacturer of pickup microphones and amplifiers for acoustic instruments. It was founded in 1981 by Larry Fishman, who still runs it today. The first products were pickups for acoustic guitars, which were very quickly adopted by such guitar makers as Guild and Martin. This put the young Massachusetts firm on the map. Subsequently, further pickups were developed and adapted to other instruments, notably the violin, double bass and banjo. In addition to pickup systems, the current product range includes preamps, effects units and special performance acoustic amplifiers.
