http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/Guitar_Amplifiers_&_Speakers/Acoustic_Guitar_Amps/p3110.aspx Chris George goes through the features and sounds of the 50 watt Marshall AS50D acoustic amp. Ideal for small gigs, band acoustic backline amp, home practice and recording. 2 Channels means you can plug in your guitar plus another mic/ line in / iPod / 2nd guitar.
For more volume and channels check out the Marshall AS100D combo.
The 50 watt combo has 2 x 8 speakers and a new polydome tweeter running between two channels. Channel 1 is a high impedance acoustic guitar input with volume bass and treble controls, whereas channel 2 has an XLR phantom-powered mic input, phone inputs for CD, tape or iPod, plus a jack input for drum machines, keyboards or guitars as well a bass and treble controls.
Digital chorus can be assigned to either or both channels and has its own speed and depth controls. Digital reverb can also be shared between one or both channels and has its own level control. To help reduce unwanted feedback, the AS50D has a phase switch and a notch filter. Just turn the notch filter control and it sweeps through different frequencies until the feedback is reduced.
There is a XLR DI output and jack line output on the rear panel to connect to other amps or the PA system. Both carry the same sound but at different levels and both are placed before the amps master volume so the overall level of the amp wont affect the DI/line out level, clever stuff. FX send and return sockets are provided to patch other effects in.

You might be right, because I didn’t change any strings till now. I think it’s underneath the Bridge. Because in the shop they told me it didn’t have a pickup, but I was like ‘How the is it an electric guitar then?”
I beg to differ. …
I beg to differ. Your acoustic does have a pick up. How do you think your guitar sound comes through the amp? Trust me on this. I worked many years in a guitar shop and installed many pickups into acoustic guitars. You will find your pickup in one of two places:
1: Underneath the bridge. Next time you change strings, remove the plastic bridge and it may be under there.
2: If you dont have a “saddle pup”, then it’s inside the guitar stuck to the “face” of the guitar.
Dude my “acoustic” …
Dude my “acoustic” doesn’t even have a pickup, the overide is doing fine but yeah a little brittle. But it will do fine as an acoustic-electric. I’m uploading a cover, that I played. Keep up with my channel and you’ll watch it.
Thanks.
Yes, it uses the …
Yes, it uses the same cord and yes it will work. However, keep in mind that the amp was intended to be used with an electric guitar, so the tone will be kind of “brittle” or maybe “muddy” if you turn the Bass setting up. But yes, everything will work.
If you plug in and no sound comes out of the amp, your pickup in your guitar may have an “active” pickup and the battery may be dead. If your guitar has a passive pickup, there is no battery to worry about. Let me know how it works out.
