If you'e new to the world of acoustic guitar and would like to explore an extra dimension in sound, creativity, and convenience, the new Mobile AC is your perfect amp. Optimized for acoustic guitar and designed to travel, the Mobile AC delivers big sound in a package that can easily fit into a backpack. The amp can be used for up to 15 hours at a time via battery power, so you can take it anywhere. Simply plug in your acoustic guitar, turn up the volume, and enjoy clean, clear, and surprisingly powerful, spacious stereo sound from a compact amp. You can also add deep stereo chorus or lush reverb effects, and you can incorporate a portable media player and microphone for sing-along fun. Strum your guitar and sing, play along with backing tracks, and enjoy the Mobile AC at home or outdoors. It' also a handy personal monitor for use on stage, with a big sound that defies its small size.

Rich Stereo Sound
The Mobile AC is small, but its two 4" speakers produce a surprisingly large and lush stereo sound. Activate the built-in stereo chorus ” an effect that Roland is famous for ” and immerse your guitar in a pool of thick, swirling sound. There' also onboard reverb with a dedicated control knob, as well as a œWide effect for adding spaciousness to the sound. For the final polish, turn the TONE knob clockwise for a brighter tone, or counterclockwise for a milder sound.

Travel Friendly
Small enough to fit in a backpack and light enough for a child to carry, the Mobile AC is ready to travel. Take it anywhere you go ” to a friend' house for a jam session, to a small outdoor gathering such as a camping trip, or on stage for use as a personal monitor. It can run for 15 hours at a time on six AA alkaline batteries, so you can perform in any location, indoors or out. An optional AC adapter is available should you prefer to plug it in. A handy carrying strap is included, and an optional carrying case is also available.

Strum, Sing, and Jam Along
Strap on your guitar, invite a friend, and grab a microphone ” the Mobile AC has inputs for guitar and mic with independent volume controls for each, and you can even add lush reverb and œWide effects to the instrument and voice for a polished, professional sound. There' also a third input (with dedicated volume control) for connecting a portable media player such as an iPod, giving you an easy way to add backing tracks to your performances.

    I am amazed, this little amp! It is awesome

    This amp exceeded my expectations. I thought for sure it would loose power if all 3 jacks were used at once but it did not. I am so pleased and it is perfect for my needs, practicing and playing the smaller room gigs.

      Has a great reverb and a lush chorus, great for acoustic guitar small venue. Also good for clean clear electric guitar playing. As with most amps this size it lacks bass depth, but the sound of amp is very good quality, like you would expect from Roland.It's very well suited for recording quality as sound is very clear and articulate.

    • BUILT FOR METAL!!!!!!

      I use this with my ukeleles, for singing and playing with a performing group. The sound is great, perfectly amplifies the ukelele. It's light, and batteries last a long time. This is the third amp I tried from Guitar Center. I sent the other two back (Pugnose because the sound was awful, and Behringer EuroSport because it was too big and heavy).

    • I would buy this product again, just not from Guitar Center

      Not a lot of power but I knew that going in. Limited to tone, volume, reverb and chorus but knew that going in. Tone is outstanding. Adaptable to mike stand is most useful especially when used in small venue or as monitor speaker.
