Members Sordid1 Posted August 25, 2005 Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 The Rivera is the only one I know of and they are supposed to be killer amps, all their electric only amps rule so I have no doubts those do as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not an acoustic channel. It is an acoustic model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mylzenmylz Posted August 25, 2005 Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 i've played acoustics thru' tube amps made for electric guitars. it sounds pretty kewl.however, if you want that "PA" type of amp then keyboard, portable PA, even SS bass amps seem to work well -if you happen to have access to one of those.in most cases, amps are made for one or the other. this is just my 'findings' and not a rule tho'. so YMMV on that.if i can't go straight into the PA with my acoustic, i'll use my laney VC30II as an amp and mic it....or use my rocktron voodu valve as the pre-amp into the FX return of the laney.take your guitar to a local shop and play thru some amps. you may be surprised at what you discover. that's the cool thing about making music...there are no rules.

That's the sort of stuff I want to mess with. Have magnetic pickup on acoustic guitar and like to get both clean acoustic as well as more distorted electric. (though I do realise that it won't sound quite like an acoustic or an electric guitar)That Sidona looks amazing alright but outside current budget.Also have some other questions - will post on the Acoustic Guitars forum.

Members jazzbo Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Acoustic amps are the same as electric amps but they have anti-feedback filters. I would get an electric amp and then get an LR Baggs box in front like a PARA DI or a Feedback Master for the acoustic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GCDEF Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Originally posted by jazzbo Acoustic amps are the same as electric amps but they have anti-feedback filters. Err.. No they're not. For a while I was using a Carvin AG100D which is kind of a mini-PA combo thing, with a channel especially for acoustic guitars. I had an electric with piezos that I ran into the acousic input of the amp. The regular humbuckers went to a Tonelab SE then into another channel of the amp. That worked pretty well.
