Roland 35W (17.5 x 17.5W) Acoustic Chorus Guitar Amplifier, 2x 6.5" Speakers

The Roland 35W (17.5 x 17.5W) Acoustic Chorus Guitar Amplifier is the trusted choice among performing guitarists, singer/songwriters and other acoustic musicians. The AC-40 Acoustic Chorus Guitar Amplifier is a powerful addition to the diverse AC family, offering big sound in an extremely lightweight and compact amp. Equipped with dual channels that support a guitar and mic or two guitars, the AC-40 provides solo and duo artists top-flight mobile sound reinforcement with ample projection for typical performance venues.

Lightweight Design with Dual Channels
The AC-40 weighs less than 12 pounds, making it a breeze to carry to gigs, rehearsals, open mics and jam sessions. Dual channels include a dedicated Guitar channel and a Mic/Line channel that accepts an XLR microphone, a second guitar or any line-level device, providing versatility for a variety of performance situations. Each channel has its own three-band EQ for independent sound shaping, plus dedicated controls for the onboard chorus and reverb effects. A stereo AUX input jack on the rear panel makes it simple to connect a smart phone or music player and jam with backing music in performances and practice sessions.

Stereo Sound: The Ideal Way to Amplify Acoustic Guitars
Like all models in the AC family, the AC-40 features true stereo sound output with twin speakers and dual internal amplifiers, plus built-in stereo chorus and reverb effects. Unlike typical mono designs, the AC-40's stereo operation provides studio-quality depth and dimension that accurately represents the complex sound characteristics of your favorite acoustic guitars. The dual 6.5-inch speakers are custom-designed specifically for the amp, delivering excellent projection and big, full sound that belies the amp's compact size. With the convenient integrated tilt stand, you can angle the AC-40 upward, perfect for when the amp is placed on the floor or used as a personal monitor.

Roland's famous stereo chorus effect provides rich and spacious tone enhancement that makes your guitar sound larger than life. The chorus in the AC-40 is optimized for acoustic instruments, with Wide and Space options for different types of effects. A high-quality reverb effect is onboard as well, giving you the ability to dial in essential ambience to further sweeten the sound of your guitar and voice.

Natural Acoustic Tone, Enhanced with Stereo Effects
The AC-40 carries on the tradition of Roland's acclaimed Acoustic Chorus series, delivering pure and natural sound amplification for acoustic guitars, vocal mics and other acoustic instruments. Like the entire AC line, it features true stereo output with dual speakers plus built-in stereo chorus and reverb effects, providing studio-quality depth and dimension that's not possible with mono amps.

Big Sound, Compact Size
Ultra-compact and weighing under 12 pounds (5.3 kg), the AC-40 is a breeze to carry wherever you want to play. Though small in size, it has a big sound that easily carries your performance in venues such as intimate nightclubs, restaurants and coffee houses. Thanks to the integrated tilt-back stand, it's simple to angle the amp for more projection when placed on the floor or another flat surface. The AC-40 is also ideal as a personal monitor when performing on larger stages.

Dual-Channel Flexibility
With its two independent channels, the AC-40 gives you pro versatility for any performing setup. There's a dedicated GUITAR channel with a standard 1/4-inch input, plus a MIC/LINE channel with an XLR/TRS combo input for connecting a microphone or a line-level device. Plug in a guitar and a mic for self-contained playing and singing or use the channels to mix two types of pickups (or a pickup and a mic) in more sophisticated guitar rigs. Each channel has its own three-band EQ for sound shaping plus independent chorus and reverb controls, giving you complete command over your sound.

Anti-Feedback
As every live performer knows, acoustic feedback can sometimes be a problem on stage, especially in situations when you need to push the volume or when you're playing in confined spaces. The AC-40's anti-feedback function has got you covered, automatically suppressing feedback before it causes trouble. With the simple flip of a switch, you have the freedom to relax and concentrate on performing without worrying about unexpected sound hassles.

Essential Performance Extras
The AC-40's rear panel offers a number of connectivity options for a variety of situations. Connect an external music player to the stereo AUX IN for backing tracks and practice and use the dedicated level control to balance the sound. Mono/stereo LINE OUT jacks give you the ability to connect to PA systems when performing in larger venues or to recording devices to capture natural sound along with the amp's rich stereo effects. Plugging into the PHONES jack mutes the internal speakers, letting you practice without disturbing others. A jack is also provided for turning the reverb and chorus effects on/off with optional footswitches.
