I like the Schertler amps. Schertler USA - high fidelity acoustic transducers, speakers, mixers & velvet strings
Why? Simply, they sound great--probably the best acoustic amp sound that I have ever tried with the BFR JP6.

I hope nobody minds the slight hijack for a moment, but I need to show my ignorance. Can someone explain to me what the difference is between acoustic guitar amps and regular amps? Are they special to avoid feedback that you can get with electrified acoustics, or are they just eq'd differently?

The AER acoustic amp is used by many top pros and I love mine. yes they are expensive but IMO, AER has to be one of the best out there. Their circuitry is designed to amplify acoustic instruments and the speakers (twin cone) are specifically tailored for the job.
believe me when I say that back in 2005 I had a lot of scepticism about acoustic amps - oh how I was wrong!
There have been many occasions when I have played when people have craned their necks to fathom out how I was getting the sound I get with the piezo/AER and I have had to answer many queries after a gig to explain the set up for example have a look at one of my earlier threads

I'm with the Spudmeister here. I use AER and they are unbelievable. Truly. Mine is the bottom of the range Alpha model but still ample for using amongst my boogie mk IV backline. Would stop at anything else. Worth their weight in Birdseye maple.

+1 Aer amps
Trademark 60 is affordable, frighteningly loud and importantly it is compact and lightweight.
As a bonus you can even run a POD or other modelling device through it to take care of your electric tones if you have any tiny gigs.

acoustic amps are basically little PA speakers with a few EQ knobs and perhaps a reverb or two.
i cant tell you in technical terms why a guitar amp is different, but if you plug the piezo into a guitar amp you'll know instantly that theyre completely different

I would love to try one, but they just don't have any dealers here in my area--well, none that I would patronize, anyway.

I just ordered a Hartke 150 watt.
Played thru a Roland 60 and a Marshall 50 yesterday at GC.
Both were very nice. The Roland was tighter..The Marshall sounded big.
I opted for the wattage and Samson's history. Paul at GW set me straight. I should have it Friday. I'll post my review. I'm confident it will be positive.
