New combo features aboriginal art and Alesis Midiverb reverb/delay
Acoustic guitar legend and longtime AER user Tommy Emmanuel has designed his own signature acoustic amp with the German firm, the Compact TE.
Based on AER’s best-selling Compact 60, the Compact TE features a number of bespoke visual touches: aboriginal art adorns one side, while Tommy’s TE initials can be found on the other, as well as CGP – a tribute to Tommy’s mentor, Chet Atkins, who dubbed Tommy a Certified Guitar Player (CGP).
Sound-wise, the amp adds a reverb/delay setting from Tommy’s longstanding Alesis Midiverb II to the Compact TE’s array of onboard effects, while the DI Out signal incorporates these effects, in contrast to the standard Compact 60.
The amp’s gigbag strap also features signature embroidery.
