They're right, acoustic-electrics aren't meant for distortion. When you plug it into an electric guitar amp, you can get distortion (not good distortion) out of the amp but you'll get acoustic sound out of your guitar and it sounds really bad.

For those special effects, you need an electric guitar with good pickups. Pickups in acoustic-electrics and pickups in electrics are two different things.

This is the only acoustic amp I've tried and I pretty much will get this if I ever need an amp. Though it's not super powerful, it's pretty loud and clear as well for a 30W amp. There's enough controls for me to produce the sounds I'd want. I also found that a Fender amp is a good match for a Fender guitar.

Just to quote a Fender amp I recommended before.

Thx alot !!! Rako i ended up buying the
Marshall AS50R Acoustic Amp
The Marshall AS50R Acoustic Amp is a 50W dedicated acoustic combo featuring 2 channels, each with its own volume and tone controls.

Look how hot its! i got a good deal with the guy over the phone isntead of it being 384 i got it down to $250! :P
I think its because i bought the guitar/strap from them last time!

Lookie lookie!
Ampie!

That's an incredible deal!! $384.00 is already the sale price at most dealers and getting it for $250.00 is a steal. Great job, you probably got the best amp for the price :lol:

You have to play around with the settings to get the right sound. Try lowering the bass more if the sound is really low. Sadly, I don't use amps for my acoustic so my knowledge doesn't extend that far and I'm not on enough to always answer your questions so I'd like to refer you to an acoustic forum that can help you out.

You know you could of gotten an electric guitar prob a tele or something and used an acoustic modulator pedal from Boss. Electric guitars gives you so much more in terms of variation and different tones! and plus it makes you look cooler :D
