Fishman

collapse expand iconDescription

The Fishman Loudbox Performer 180W 1x8"/1x5" combo is the company's most powerful acoustic amplifier, allowing you to be heard in any situation—solo or ensemble.

With the addition of Bluetooth wireless connectivity, you can now easily and neatly add backing tracks or other accompaniment to your performances, jams, and practice sessions.

The Loudbox Performer features 180 watts of transparent, bi-amplified acoustic sound and two versatile input channels that accept both 1/4" and XLR sources for instruments and microphones. Each channel includes Fishman’s renowned 3-band EQ, feedback-fighting controls, a dual-effects section, phantom power, and balanced XLR outputs.

The dedicated midrange control provides enhanced detail and note definition over conventional 2-way designs. An integrated kickstand design allows the Loudbox Performer to be tilted back 50 degrees for better sound projection at short range.

Save your money, these self-destruct.

While I initially liked the sound of this amp, I am totally disappointed in the durability. The tolex covering the amp is so thin it will literally disintegrate with every light scuff. Simply putting your hand under the handle will tear it with your fingernail! If you don't believe me, look at some photos of used ones for sale. I should mention, I purchased a cover for mine, and it still looks like it fell off a truck! Oh, that's not enough. After a year or so, mine developed a terrible thump on the low notes, and the bass driver was blown and had to be replaced! It's not like I was using it for heavy metal guitar or anything, just an acoustic in a country/rock band! While this may be tempting when you hear those nice tones in the store, it is simply not a professional level piece of equipment, I recommend you steer clear!

    Using it for home studio and karaoke singing: smaller models didn't provide enough power; lots of adaptability with tone controls, effects, Bluetooth, dual inputs, etc..

    My primary purpose for commenting on the Fishman Loudbox Performer is to get the word out to fellow musicians about how Fishman has significantly improved the tolex covering and how easy it is to work with Fisman Reps to resolve any issue you may have. I have owned both the Loudbox Artist and Performer amps and totally agree with all the comments made by other musicians on this site.

  • Mind pleasantly blown by this amp!

    I was in a band years back that had a major label deal and while we were on tour with George Strait one year CRATE amplifiers had a booth in the entourage and talked myself and our fiddle player into trying a CRATE. I had been using the larger Trace Elliot TA 100 with the big speaker but the CRATE CA125D just sounded better so I've had it and used it for the last 20 years. A couple of weeks ago I had a problem with the CRATE and decided to try something else. After lots of research and Youtubin' I decided to try the Fishman performer. It sounded very bright with my J200 when I tried it in Guitar Center in Portland, OR., but I knew Id not really know until I tried it onstage with my band and last night it had it's maiden run and it absolutely blew me away. It beat the CRATE in every way. Very CLEAR natural tone of the guitar set in the mix very easy and we can get a bit revved up at times. I started up with the master at 12 O'clock and the Gain at 9 o' clock and after awhile put the gain in between 9-10 o clock and it had LOTS of headroom and so clear and no noise. I'm in love. I hoped I would love it and though that doesn't always work out, with the Fishman you will not be disappointed! It's well worth the extra money. (P.S.) I have only used the guitar with this so far but If I ever do use the channel 2 microphone input to sing through it would probably be only to rehearse with my band so I don't have to set a PA up to sing over them, another GREAT use for this amp!

  • The greatest amp for acoustic guitar!
