Laney A-Fresco-2 AC Combo Amplifier
The A-Fresco-2 is a compact, battery-powered combo amp engineered for capturing and amplifying acoustic instruments and vocals in studio sessions, remote recording setups, and field production work. Its lightweight 7.8 kg chassis and intuitive two-channel layout deliver 60 watts of clean, articulate Class D amplification through a single 8" coaxial speaker—ideal for tracking acoustic performances without AC line noise or tether limitations during recording sessions.
Portability & Power for Session Work
The built-in 14.8 V Li-Ion rechargeable battery provides up to 24 hours of operating time, freeing recording sessions from power outlet dependencies during location tracking or extended studio days. The amp also accepts mains power when stationary, making it genuinely flexible for overdub sessions, live-to-tape capture, or remote recording contexts where mobility and clean power matter equally.
Signal Flow & Connectivity
Two independent channels—each with combi XLR / 1/4" inputs—accommodate microphones and instruments simultaneously, while 15V phantom power supports condenser mics directly for accurate acoustic capture. The FX loop (with dedicated send and return jacks), 1/8" aux input, XLR DI output, and 1/8" headphone output provide professional routing flexibility for monitoring, external effects processing, and direct console/interface integration during recording workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this amp power a condenser microphone?
Yes. The A-Fresco-2 provides 15V phantom power on both channels, so condenser mics will power directly from the combi XLR inputs without external boxes.
How long does the battery last, and can I use it plugged in?
The 14.8V Li-Ion battery delivers up to 24 hours of operating time. The amp also accepts mains AC power whenever it's available, giving you flexibility to charge and play simultaneously at venues or studios.
Can I connect both a microphone and an acoustic guitar at the same time?
Yes. Each of the two channels has independent XLR/1/4" combo inputs, so you can run a mic on one channel and an instrument on the other, with separate gain and EQ control for each.
What's included in the box, and what do I need to buy separately?
The description confirms the amp, battery, and all built-in features; check the retailer for bundled accessories. You'll want to source your own microphone cables, instrument cables, and XLR cables depending on your signal chain.
Is this amp suitable for high-gain rock or metal?
No. The A-Fresco-2 is voiced for clean, articulate tone and is designed for acoustic, folk, worship, and busking applications. For high-gain rock or metal, you'll need an amp with overdrive or distortion voicing.
