The guiding design thoughts: Make it compatible with a wide range of acoustic guitar pickups and playing environments. Make it practical and easy to use, without over-engineering it with too many controls or effects. Make the cabinet from an acoustic guitar tonewood to bring an extra warm, smooth sonic character to the amplified tone. Give it the elegant aesthetic appeal of a finely crafted piece of furniture. And add Bluetooth connectivity to stream music and play or sing along.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking on the project reminded Bob of the creative, freewheeling spirit of a startup, like the earliest days of Taylor Guitars, circa ’74 — which gave birth to the name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltimately, the group’s labor of love produced an amp that serves up an ear-pleasing range of acoustic sounds and brings out the very best in musicians looking to be heard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLooks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe warm sonic characteristics are matched visually by the mahogany cabinet, with clean lines and rich wood texture reminiscent of mid-century modern furniture design. The aesthetic is enhanced by the modern-retro fabric grill cloth and an equally gorgeous wood stand designed to\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecomplement the amp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo input channels for acoustic guitar and vocals:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompatible with all major pickups and vocal mics:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe amp was designed and tested with an array of acoustic pickups to offer broad appeal.
