There are two channels, one optimized for guitar, the other designed as a microphone channel, but with its combination XLR/1/4-inch input, it can also serve as a second instrument channel. With the exception of a different effects-control knob and rearranged jacks in the amp’s back, the 60/3 looks identical to its predecessor.
Completely devoid of bells and whistles, the unit is basically a black box with an easy-to-navigate control panel. The Compact 60’s success is due, in part, to its businesslike demeanor. Almost since the beginning, the Compact 60 has been the company’s workhorse-small, powerful, and transparent sounding-and the amp is now in its third generation. In the two decades since it was founded, in 1992, Germany’s AER (their slogan is “the Acoustic People”) has become one of the most respected makers of amplifiers dedicated to reproducing acoustic instruments. But if you’re in search of accuracy, the AER is hard to beat. Some players prefer an amp with more coloration, which may help get a more natural sound from certain pickups or guitars. Well, this amp has great transparency, which means that it faithfully reproduces what you put into it. For the most part, the new Compact 60/3 is virtually interchangeable with the previous version, the trusty AER Compact 60. One thing is immediately clear when I plug into this amp: AER is not reinventing a successful wheel.
