Melville, NY (January 16, 2020) -- Introducing the new standard in acoustic guitar amplification, the Blackstar Sonnet Series. The new Sonnet line faithfully amplifies the natural response of your acoustic instrument capturing every nuance of its tone and your performance.
Each model has two independent channels, microphone and instrument, with their own EQ and reverb level settings and a host of player-friendly features such as XLR and USB outputs. The addition of Bluetooth audio playback makes them the ideal solution for solo performers or duos.
These amps are powerful, light and compact, with an adjustable tilt-back stand to project the sound for any performance.
Acoustic guitar virtuoso Jon Gomm was involved throughout the design process. Jon comments:
‘Finally, an amp that can reproduce the full spectrum of sound of acoustic instruments. All I hear is my sound.’
Having used many different acoustic amps throughout his career Jon said:
‘Every other amp changes me, squashes me, confines me, they just can't cope. I'd given up on acoustic amps, until I heard the Sonnet.’
Sonnet amps are powerful, light and compact, making them easy to transport to any gig and powerful enough for any performance. Perfect for solo performers or duos. The Sonnet 60 and Sonnet 120 are available in classic, sleek black covering with black grille and control panel or stunning cream covering with copper grill and matching control panel. The 60 and the 120 will be available in February of 2020 for $399.99 and $579.99.
