Fender Acoustic Jr Combo Amp
Fender · amplifier
The Fender Acoustic Junior is a solid-state acoustic guitar combo amplifier from Fender, designed for amplifying acoustic guitars and acoustic-electric instruments in performance contexts. Dual channels accommodate guitar and microphone input simultaneously, making it a complete front-of-house solution for solo acoustic performers. Onboard reverb, chorus, and feedback control are tailored to the acoustic instrument amplification context rather than electric guitar.
