Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The AC-22LX is a surprisingly capable little acoustic amp. Its Air Feel technology is a clever way to simulate a professional mic’d setup, making it ideal for singer-songwriters or acoustic guitarists needing a compact, portable solution for practice, small gigs, or online streaming – just be mindful of its power limitations.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's a clever simulation, but it's not a perfect substitute; it adds depth but can occasionally sound a little processed depending on the acoustic guitar's natural tone.
Yes, there's a mic input, but keep in mind the limited wattage might require careful gain staging to avoid noise or distortion at higher volumes.
It’s class-compliant, so it *should* work with most major DAWs, but checking compatibility with your specific software is always a good idea.
