A work horse combo for the touring professional.

The AER Compact 60 has two channels that make it possible to operate a microphone and an instrument independently of each other. The dynamically controlled power amplifier and the broad-spectrum loudspeaker system guarantee distortion-free reproduction even at high volumes.

The Compact 60 guitar amp was developed after and based on the Acousticube, and it helped substantially to break out of the boutique corner. AER were able to prove to a bigger and increasingly more interested public that an all-round, small, powerful and yet simple complete solution for stage, studio and home use does exist and that it works up to the highest demands and standards.

Known as Bingo or Compact 60, it has found many friends around the world with its size - smiled at in the beginning - being its second strongest side. Tried out during live performance it has become standard equipment of musicians who value sound, simplicity and independence.

This system, with its 8"-twin-cone speaker-system, 60 watts of power and fully developed dynamic control within the models small dimensions has not only found much appreciation but has also become the basis for a whole line of step by step, developed and refined AER acoustic amplification systems.

Level control:
You can use the High/Low switch and the Gain control to adjust the various pick-up systems and signal sources to AER Compact 60 amp. The clip indicator shows that the input signal is too high.

Tone controls:
The three and two band tone controls of your Compact 60 are designed to fulfill the special requirements of acoustic instruments and the general demands of other sources. The Color switch in Channel 1 activates a mid-cut treble-boost filter that is particularly appropriate for fingerstyle techniques.

Effects:
The Compact 60 has an integrated (internal) digital effect permitting you to choose between four effects by using the select push button. The select button allows you to choose between the four build-in-effects. They are indicated by the LEDs between the return and master controls. Pos. 1 is a warm hall reverb, pos. 2 is a bright hall reverb, pos. 3 is a chorus with reverb and pos. 4 is a flanger.

The Return knob determines the intensity of the effect (as far to the left as possible means no effect). Furthermore, a supplementary effect device can be connected (external effect). For this purpose, use the sockets at the rear of Compact 60 Send and Return (send to the input, return from the output of the external effect). The intensity will then be set by the external effect device. Using the Effect-Pan control, you can mix continuously variable effect portions into the channels.
