I love my AER60 - small, lightweight, reliable, versatile and works well with my arch top too. It’s also a good back-up for vocalists if the PA packs in. It was expensive, but still cheaper than the guitar.
AER's and other acoustic amps are never going to get that late-period Django overdrive sound, need tubes or a really good modeling amp for that. Even then, I still like the tone you can get from a Peche or Krivo into a Compact 60; yeah, it's not ideal for sounding like an acoustic guitar but the tone is still pretty nice imo. But as I've posted before, now I just use a Peche in conjunction with one of the lower bout contact mics from Jokko - really nice blended tone that gets you the best of both worlds with zero feedback issues
