Re: acoustic amps?
I just use a Roland street cube in the house or if I'm doing a small venue , It has mic .guitar and aux inputs , models several amps has an acoustic simulator as well for use with electric guitar and a variety of effects very good sound and not stupidly priced . It can also be used on battery or mains . Most street musicians use them over here .

Re: acoustic amps?
I looked long and hard at the Cube's, but even s/h the prices were pretty steep; I managed to get a Roland AC-33 which is battery/mains on Reverb for cheaper than half price.
If you scroll down this page you'll get an indication of 'sold' prices: https://reverb.com/au/p/roland-ac-33-2x … -combo-amp

Re: acoustic amps?
I've got an AC60 that is wonderful.
The key thing for me in picking an acoustic amp is finding one that has a second channel that will accept a mic or a second instrument.
Mine has effects on each channel built into the amp, which is very useful. I can put a little reverb in my voice and drop in some bass, and have the guitar with a different setting.
Granted B chord amnesty by King of the Mutants (Long live the king).

There are also the Joyo range, can't speak for them from experience, but they do reasonable copies of all sorts of audio devices: https://www.thomannmusic.com/joyo_acous … fiers.html
