Author: I have a small practice amp–a Marshall–that I use with my Mexican Strat. If I bought and acoustic-electric, could I use the same amp? I’ve seen "acoustic amps" ads. What gives? What’s wrong with useing a regular amp?
Also, does it make any sense for a guy that doesn’t perform to buy and acoustic-electric?
Yes you can. I wouldn’t think that the sound would be too great on a small practice amp , but it won’t hurt anything. I think acoustic amps are usually for smaller groups that want to travel light and don’t usually run any instruments through their p.a. systems. Most of the time when you see guys playing acoustic electric guitars in a band they are running them directly through the p.a. via a direct box. There are a lot of ways you can do it. What you buy is your choice but if you don’t really need the electric part of it then you could get a better acoustic. If that makes any sense to you.
The Sub is 10,000 watt and 5,000 RMS at 1ohm stable
Agreed
#1. Drop the 3 amp idea and go for 1 or 2 MAX
look into kickers warhorse
or hifonics BXI Brutus class.. hifonics nicer amps are meant to be connected and play in a master/slave mode
and #2 Your subwoofers arent whats 1 OHM stable subs can play at any OHM "to an realistic extent" its the amplifier that has to be 1 OHM stable and normall i wouldnt suggest 1 OHM but with how much power your pushing any thing other than 1 ohm would be even more rediculously expensive that your already going for.
are they cea complient?? are they any good
usually if they are certified they throw it in your face, and i looked on a couple different sites and there is no mention of certification, so i don’t think they are. With that said they are not a bad amp, certainly not great but not bad…. i’ve only heard one particular amp ever made by them, but it was respectable. nothing to write home about but did what it was supose to.
http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/Guitar-Amplifiers-and-Speakers/Acoustic-Guitar-Amps/sc1584/p8749.aspx The Roland AC-33 is the worlds first battery-powered combo amp and has been designed and manufactured specifically for acoustic guitar. Portable yet powerful, the AC-33 provides true stereo sound, Guitar and Mic/Line channels, personally-configured effects, anti-feedback, and a Phrase Looper.
However this amp was made to go to places that amplifiers are traditionally not able to – I’m talking of course about using this amplifier outdoors .Thanks to its battery-power capability, the AC-33 lets you take your act anywhere and therefore this little power-house of an amplifier will appeal to buskers or perhaps those who need ultimate portability to their guitar rig.
The AC-33 provides 15 watts per channel resulting in 30 watts of stereo sound and can run on the optional A/C adapter or 8 x AA batteries.It has on-board reverb, chorus and ambience (spatial) effects along with a 38 second phrase looper. There’s also a stereo aux input for an MP3 player or similar and an anti-feedback function for if you attach a microphone, whilst the cabinet can be configured to stand in “kick-back” mode similar to a floor foldback monitor.

Will it just make it sound louder or will it make it sound clearer? I noticed when I practice the A-Chord sort of different, like it vibrates too long and makes it sound different. I just started about 3 days ago so I need some help. btw I am aiming for a soft smoother sound if thats possible.
Thanks in advance
I recemend Ibanez amps for acoustic electirics. They have a great clear sound ! And to answer your other question, when plugging your acoustic into an amp it shouldnt make a big difference sound wise. Unless you boost your controls.
All acoustic amps will work with a Martin. Genz Benz and Shenandoah are two that come to mind. You may want to Google "acoustic guitar amps" and read reviews on all of them You can also try Epinions.com. I highly recommend Acoustic Guitar Magazine because they really keep you up-to-date with not only new equipment, but older and vintage as well. A good deal of the articles center around the gear used by showcased artists .

I don’t know of many people who even know of this brand, but the one’s that do, and use these amps in their systems, all bump. I have even seen them at a couple of the local shops here in Texas. Check if your local DEALER has the good stuff.
I’m starting to learn to play a guitar. I bought an acoustic guitar, and have been looking for an amp because this guitar has a pickup on it and can be played through an amp. Are there amps made just for an acoustic guitar? I’m not wanting to play loud like with an electric guitar, just something that has a good tone.
Yes, you would want to get an amplifier made specifically for an acoustic guitar. Although an amp made for an electric guitar would work, since you seem to just want to mess around with an acoustic guitar, then it would be best to get one made for an acoustic guitar. The good news is they are not that expensive. I’m sure you can find a good one for less than $100. I saw some listings at http://www.acousticguitaramps.net/ for some models that were small and affordable. Good luck with your playing, you chosen the best instrument to learn.
