What began as a pet project for company founder Bob Taylor has come full circle. The Circa 74 marks Taylor’s first acoustic amplifier — and boy, it is a heavy hitter! This 150-watt, 2-channel combo is utterly different from any other amp on today’s market. First and foremost, its cabinet is built entirely from mahogany for greater warmth. The 10-inch full-range speaker is voiced to deliver the clarity and treble extension needed to accommodate any combination of guitars and singers without harshness. Each channel includes an independent 3-band EQ and Reverb control to dial up a superb sound quickly. Finally, the Circa 74 arrives with a custom stand for performing. Performers looking for a new favorite acoustic guitar and vocal amplifier will fall in love with Taylor’s Circa 74.
Some acoustic guitar amps are plagued by harsh, overly exaggerated treble. Bob Taylor and his team solved this issue by intentionally dialing back the high end on the Circa 74, producing smooth, warm, and inviting tones in both channels — a feat that Sweetwater's live acoustic performers are quick to applaud. Each channel includes an independent Level control, 3-band EQ, and Reverb, putting you in full control of setting your perfect tone, no matter which instrument you play.


The Circa 74 was put through its paces with testing through a plethora of acoustic guitar pickup systems to ensure you get the best sound out of your favorite guitar and dynamic microphone. In fact, Taylor’s testing was so thorough that the company developed helpful presets for some of the industry's leading acoustic-electric designers, including Taylor, Fishman, LR Baggs, and K&K. No matter which pickup is installed in your guitar, the Circa 74 will bring the best out of your performance.
A guitar amp of this caliber deserves more than living life on the floor. Taylor knows this, too. That’s why the company developed a custom stand specifically for this amp. Like the cabinet, the equally eye-catching stand is also made from mahogany to complete the matching ensemble. The angled design aims the sound at your audience’s ears, drastically increasing clarity without the added guesswork of determining the best angle for sound projection. Worried about your amp sliding off the stand? Don’t be. Taylor includes routed footholds to securely hold your amp in place.
