What an inheritance , an acoustic has a wider frequency rannge though and an acoustic amp is better suited to hear the fuller sound but it will sound good through the ss amp.
Not familiar with the pickup on the acoustic. If it has a battery in it than it has the boost for a non accuostic amp. If not than other options need to be considered.
Would this combonation sound good? I would assume that between the 2 combos, the solid state amp would be a better match.
Am I missing something here? You already have in your possession the Marshall 4001 (Studio 15) and the Marshall solid state (Lead 12) amps as well as the Yamaha CPX 900 guitar? So tell us how the guitar sounds with either amplifier. Steve
My son's guitar teacher told him not to connect the Acoustic to the combos. Any idea why?
Do what SRB says.
You've probably fiddled with the controls on the amplifier, but turning up the volume control and turning down the gain control should give you a less distorted overdrive sound. Steve
Obviously they do make specific acoustic guitar amps which are ultra-clean with a lack of any discernible distortion as opposed to electric guitar amps where some amount of distortion is desireable for electric guitar sustain). I wonder if the solid state amp is working properly or if that is just the sound it has by design, although I guess you do not notice a "jangly" sound with an electric guitar? Did you also give the tube amp a try? Steve
The tube amp does not have enough gain.
There's something strange going on here. An electric guitar with passive pickups has far less output than your acoustic with an active preamp in it. The acoustic should sound louder than the electric. Not the other way around.
