Think of high-end acoustic guitar amps and you might not think of Schertler, but though they may be better known for their acoustic instrument transducers, this Swiss company also build some seriously nice amplifiers.
First introduced in 2003, Schertler’s Unico Classic acoustic amp was updated in 2010 with a higher power rating and an improved speaker system. Now delivering a total of 200W, the Unico Classic is housed in a compact plywood cabinet that measures 34 x 31 x 43 cm and weighs just 15.4kg. This incarnation of the Unico has the same mixer layout as its predecessors, with three independent channels and a master section. The only effect on board is reverb, which is produced by a real-life spring rather than a digital emulation.
Sound is delivered by an eight-inch woofer and a one-inch-dome tweeter. The amp is split in two, with 150W feeding the woofer and 35W powering the dome tweeter. Quoted frequency response is 40Hz to 22kHz, and the operating voltage can be switched between 110V and 230V, which is useful.
