As the specs show it is a small amplifier, only to be used as a keyboard stool if you are particularly short. I would be interested to hear how it sounds - in the era it was made Casio were putting high quality polypropelene speakers into their semi-pro keyboards. My guess is that this amp would provide an accurate and quite punchy sound, and with the inbuilt phaser I reckon it would be a quirky and somewhat desirable sounding amp. I would love to hear one in the flesh (preferably hooked up to my Casio 403 in nice little tiki bar somewhere on the edge of forever, with a far out chick arpeggiaiting it into outer space….)
Really beautiful design - extremely well thought out, and in the style of casio early 80;s semi pro gear. speckled silver and matt black with speakers always bevelled. Handsome, if Errol Flynn was a keyboard amplifier he would be a Casio AS-110.
I particularly like the Casio blue of the effect label that not only draws your eyes, and drunken hand on stage, to the required knob, is also referenced by the radiating bars either side of the words ‘keyboard amplifier’. This is what it is and this is what it does. Beaut!
I know that there is also an AS-1000 Casio amp, I am presuming it is a larger one by the line drawing of it in the Casio CT-6000 manual and 1000 is a bigger number than 110.
Thanks to Mr Earthenware for the lead on this one.
