Acoustic 270 Amplifier

Acoustic · amplifier

The Acoustic Control Corporation 270 is a 275-watt solid-state amplifier head designed for both guitar and bass, featuring a five-band graphic equalizer, reverb, tremolo, and high/low-gain inputs. Built in the 1970s-80s during the height of Acoustic Control amp production, the 270 delivers clean, articulate highs to deep, resonant lows with a bright, transparent character. The EQ section provides surgical control with center frequencies at 80, 160, 320, 640, and 1250 Hz, enabling everything from punchy bass tones to cutting guitar leads.
