The Boss Acoustic Singer Live (ASC-LIVE) is a 60-watt portable acoustic instrument combo with two channels — guitar and microphone — each with EQ, reverb, and chorus effects. A built-in looper and anti-feedback notch filter complete the feature set. It is the more portable version of the 120W Acoustic Singer Pro, targeting solo acoustic performers who need a compact, self-contained acoustic rig for café, restaurant, and intimate venue performances.
