Now that I have a uke with a pickup, I've sort of narrowed my choice of amp down to these two.
The Roland has great reviews, but so does the Fishman. The Roland is about half the weight (11 vs 19 lbs.) The Fishman has twice the wattage therefore more "headroom", plus it is $50 cheaper than the Roland. The Roland has lots of cool stuff, like that 40 second phrase looper, but I don't know if I'd ever use that function. I also don't think I'll need to run the amp off batteries.
I'm having trouble finding a store in my area that carries both amps in order to compare them.
I'd appreciate any comments.
