These are pricey and fairly rare...

Anyone played through one ?

Cheers

No.  I do remember the last acoustic amp though, had a lot of issues and didn’t do very well at all. Saying that though meant to have sounded very good

try before you buy!  Tbh Warren I have seen excellent players using a range of brands and sounding fantastic

Bose
AER
Schertler
 
to name 3.   

I used to use a small Yamaha PA system, K and K pickup and a good quality external pre amp

sounded good enough imo

also Owned and used the AER.

an extremely knowledgeable chap once advised me to get a decent powered cab and a great Pre amp

Thanks Mark - echoes my own thoughts....

What would be a 'great pre-amp' in your opinion ?

Lots of pre amps around Warren. KK have their own , Orchid is basic but good. Those Grace audio? Look very good.  If I go down that road again I would get a valve based one purely because I like the sound of an acoustic through one 

not sure I would spend loads on one these days, marginal gains usually.  Good EQ and one that works well with whatever pick up system you have on board is more important imo

Or just buy.
