Fishman’s Most Powerful Acoustic Amplifier

The Loudbox Performer is Fishman’s most powerful acoustic amplifier, churning out 180 watts of transparent, bi-amplified tone via a state-of-the-art 3-way speaker system. This 2-channel amplifier accommodates your guitar and a microphone, along with backing tracks and other accompaniment via Bluetooth. And dialing in your sound is a piece of cake, thanks to a streamlined control set that includes a 3-band EQ and feedback suppression. What’s more, everything you play will be teeming with depth and dimension, courtesy of built-in effects and dual effects loops. You also get an aux input and independent XLR DI outputs for each channel, which make playing along to your favorite songs and capturing your performances a breeze. Whether you play solo or in an ensemble, you need the Fishman Loudbox Performer — it guarantees that you’ll be heard in any situation.

An industry standout

Larry Fishman has developed a reputation for designing some of the best amplification devices in the field. Fishman amplifiers are known not only for their exceptional amplified tone but also for their durability and reliability — traits that have placed Fishman products in the hands of some of the most renowned players on the planet. In the Loudbox Performer, he has designed an amp that is powerful yet portable enough for effortless transport. Countless acoustic musicians here at Sweetwater rely on Loudbox Performers — get one of your own, and you’ll understand why.

Unforgettable design and function

The Loudbox Performer sports a tan/brown motif that’s easy on the eyes and complements acoustic instruments better than basic black. Its front-panel display makes the controls easy to find, read, and adjust. A straightforward control set means you can play relaxed and confident. Each channel accommodates both 1/4" instrument inputs, as well as balanced XLR mic inputs, and includes Gain, Low, Mid, High, Anti-feedback knobs, in addition to Pad and Phase switches. You also get controls for the Loudbox Performer’s built-in effects, tweeter level, phantom power, and more, plus a Master Volume knob for setting the amp’s overall level. Plug in, dial in, and play with the kind of rich, real acoustic tone that makes for a memorable live performance.

Bluetooth wireless connectivity

The Loudbox Performer has always been a feature-packed powerhouse, and thanks to the addition of Bluetooth, it’s more powerful than ever. Whether you use it to add backing tracks to your performances, jams, and practice sessions or to cue up break music between sets, you’ll find that the Loudbox Performer’s Bluetooth connectivity is a feature with endless uses.

Fishman Loudbox Performer

I love the amp. The controls are straight forward and easy to operate. Sound was great with my Taylor 814ce builders edition guitar. I used this setup in a church setting. Used both channels one for the guitar and the other for audio with a shure mic for the singer. The amp provided all the amplification needed and even had a little more volume, but I did not need it. I could go on about this amp but I think you can see I really love it.
I should mention that my sales engineer Cam Allen was helpful at every step of the purchase.
Thanks Mike R.

Best acoustic amp

First played my friends fishman and within 2 weeks found a great used/like new one that I still have (2 years). Have used it at the house and medium sized bar with no additional FOH mics needed. It really fills the room. The two channels is nice when you want to do a solo guitar/mic. My go to set up is my martin HD28 with my sennheiser e945. The EQ with phase and antifeedback give you total control under any circumstances. Last amp you'll ever need!

Don’t think twice

I knew I needed this amp and I was correct. Amazing acoustic tone with no nonsense controls. Condenser mic is easily dialed in with gain and anti-feedback controls. Love the tilt back option. I use amp to jam with friends, playing small parties and at home practice. Recommend splurging for the cover to protect when traveling with amp. No regrets.

Rated 5/5

Best Sound from an acoustic amp I have ever experienced!

I cannot tell you how much this amp has improved my sound! Whether I am using it in a small venue as a small PA, or using it as a monitor and lining out to the PA of a larger venue, the sound is always amazing. I have many friends that are seasoned musicians who have heard me play this amp out. They rave about the professional sound it produces, regardless of the guitar. One friend borrowed it to play his violin through and he was so impressed he is saving his pennies to purchase one! It is a perfect companion for my 2002 Taylor 514c, 2022 Martin 000-28, or Guild F-1512! Even my lower end Alvarez parlor sounds incredible! Considering purchasing a second.
Music background: 50+ years of bands, solo, theater; play most styles.

Want to make your guitar sound its best? Take it from the lifelong performers at Sweetwater and check out Fishman. If you've bought an acoustic-electric guitar, there's a good chance it came with Fishman electronics, but it's easy enough to upgrade your favorite instrument too - just ask the pros in Sweetwater's Guitar Repair Shop. Do you perform? Are you a singer/songwriter? We'd love to turn you on to Fishman's Loudbox amps and amazing pedals. But Fishman isn't limited to acoustic electronics. Many of us have tricked out our electric guitars with Fishman Fluence pickups and TriplePlay wireless MIDI systems too.
