Fishman Loudbox Mini

Loudbox Mini - Fishman Transducers, Inc.
I'm close to buying one, just wondered if anyone has gigged with one.
I've played it at the store with both my nylon and my gypsy guitars
and am impressed.
Good volume, full bass, decent controls, light weight (19.7 lbs), and
under $300.

I'm also considering the Loudbox Artist:
Loudbox Artist - Fishman Transducers, Inc.
It has double the watts (120) and still light (25.5 lbs) and around
$500...

Used mine in a gig few months back. Great value especially since I could go direct to the PA with it. I used it with my Martin 00-1R, fishman ellipse blend PUP. Nice acoustic tone.
Haven't really tried it with my semi-hollows though.

I don't perform any longer, but I do have a mini and I've had occasion to use it for my student's recitals to mic acoustic and for voice. It is an amazing little workhorse. I don't think you can do too much better for the money.

I am also curious about those two models. Had one Loudbox Performer in the past and loved it! I am searching for something lighter and I am positive they sound good with acoustic guitars, has anyone tried it with an archtop? I remember I didn't like the sound of my Loudbox Performer that much with my archtop but jzucker says he loves it.

just tried an Artist and Mini at GC...
A/B 'd them next to each other w/ nylon, steel, archtop.
I actually like the Mini better!
Artist didn't sound as tight overall as the Mini.
Artist fedback easier.
Both are about as loud as each other.
Artist has a LOT of features I don't need,
I am going to get the Mini!
cheers

I've played the mini and own the artist. They're both incredible, light, and powerful. I use mostly electrics with mine, and once dialed in, it sounds great and stays clean with a drummer.
