The era 1 is a wonderful amplifier with many possibilities. It has a very clear sound: it also works fine for acoustic solo guitar and you can use it as a monitor too. The amp is easy to transport. I like to combine it with my own reverb and compressor pedal, but the reverb of the amplifier itself and its effects are also pretty good.
