Ultrasound amps for non-pedal. Opinions?

Gerald Ross · From: Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA

These very low priced amps are getting great reviews as acoustic guitar amps. Even jazz players like John Pizarelli are using them.

I've never tried nor heard them. What do you guys think, could this be used as both a guitar and non-pedal amp?

The amp in the link below does not have reverb. About $190

Here's the reverb model. About $490

It's gotten great reviews on the Harmony Central web site as well. I think it might be okay for lap steel if you're looking for a transparent sound. I don't know how well an eight inch speaker will do under any "live" situations, though.

Moved to the Electronics section from No Peddlers.

I borrowed one for a week or so. I tried everything through it, non-pedal, pedal, National w/pickup, acoustic, electric. I couldn't get anything to sound good. For a cheapo, relatively small amp I have a Peavey Bandit 65 that sounds way better all around. It's a little bigger but it is a lot louder and it cost me $100.
