Taylor Circa 74 AV150-10 Acoustic Amplifier and Vocal System, Select Koa with Stand

Taylor’s new Circa 74 two-channel acoustic/vocal amp combines warm sound, simple controls and elegant woodworking craftsmanship.

Beautiful. Musical. Simple.
What started as a fun side project for Taylor Guitars cofounder Bob Taylor and two other tone- and gear-obsessed Taylor guitar nerds grew into Circa 74, an all-new 2-in-1 acoustic/vocal amplifier designed to help musicians sound their best in any environment.

The Circa 74 amp was designed to dial down the high-end harshness found in many acoustic amps and produce a warm, analog musical character. The sound is smooth, yet without sacrificing articulation. One important material choice was to build a mahogany cabinet for the amp, leveraging Taylor’s tonewood voicing expertise to contribute to the amp’s smooth sound palette and room-filling sound.

Two input channels for acoustic guitar and vocals
The amp features convenient 1/4-inch and XLR (mic) inputs, each with independent channel level, volume and EQ controls that let you play and sing at the same time and mix acoustic guitar and vocals on the fly.

Compatible with all major pickups and vocal mics
The amp was designed and tested with an array of acoustic pickups to offer broad appeal. its user guide includes helpful pre-sets for pickups from Fishman, Baggs, K&K and Taylor’s Expression System, plus microphones from Shure, Electro-Voice and Telefunken.

Power + Projection
The solid-state amp delivers 150 watts of rich sound through a 10-inch full-range speaker – perfect for cafs, outdoor weddings or house concerts. And the tone never gets harsh as you turn up the volume.

Three-band EQ and reverb
Easily shape your sound to fit your playing environment. It’s a perfect performance tool for singer-songwriters, solo players and guitar/vocal duos, whether playing at home, in small indoor venues or even larger outdoor spaces. The only built-in effect is reverb, which adds to the ease of use.

Additional inputs/outputs include 1/4-inch auxiliary line-level input (boards, effects, modelers, etc.) and 1/8-inch headphone out. Bluetooth connectivity lets you play along, sing along, or just listen to your favorite tunes.
