AER Compact 60/3 Slope

The Compact 60/3 is our bestselling amp, for good reason—it's astonishingly light and portable, and it produces a whole lot of great acoustic tone. The Compact 60 has been my stage amp for a decade.

But as AER spoke to their customers, they found that many of them—and I count myself on this list—used their Compact 60s resting on the stage, pointing back up. While their Tilt Kit certainly helps with this, it frankly doesn't get the amp pointing at the right angle. Enter the Slope, which is just a regular Compact 60 aimed upward at the proper angle. It really is that simple, and it really is that functional.
