Just got one. It works fine with acoustic guitars but the volume is way too low on electric guitars. Did I do anything wrong?

Make sure both master volume and the volume for the input is up. So two volume knobs to adjust.

Hello I have two of them . In my opinion it was not designed for electric guitars . You need another amplifier! God bless!

You are right it is a little low for electric guitars. You need to buy you a guitar effects pedal such as a Zoom G3X Multi Effects Pedal with USB and Expression Pedal. This pedal will raise the volume on your guitar more than you can handle. This pedal will run you about $200.00 Awesome pedal. I wish I would have bought mine years ago. You can do so much with that pedal. Now if you really want a cheaper pedal you can buy a cheaper one but the Zoom G3X is awesome. this pedal will make you sound like a pro. So many effects. Even has drum settings. You can be a one man band.

No. This system is just no good compared to the first ones Fender made. I found a used first generation system on E-Bay and bought it. Do yourself a favor and try to sell the system and get another brand.

Electric guitars have lower outputs than acoustics; The passport pre-amps may not be able to boost an electric connected directly adequately. Try using your amp's direct out.

not successfully , it sounds like a semi-hollow body, tone is not clear and volume is very low. would not recommend buying for acoustic purpose. R.

I haven't used it with an acoustic, but it tis very versatile. I imagine it would still sound great.

You need to connect the pickup to a preamp. Fishman or LR Baggs make them for acoustic musical instruments. LR Baggs is more expensive, but probably higher quality.

I have had inconsistent results in playing my Os45Ce through an amp. It sounds ok when played through a 25 watt acoustic amp. When I tried to upgrade to a more powerful amp, such as a Fender 90 watt, there is virtually no sound that comes through. Music store folks do not know why.

I find it very quiet - much lower acoustic output volume compared to playing a non amplified steel string solid body Electric guitar. I know what you mean about being told to "turn it down" at a hotel, and all I was doing was playing a non amplified Strat ;)

It sounds just as good for $50 as it did on my electric. But hey! Just got the WET reverb yesterday. .. beautiful man.Biyang reverb will be fine with acoustic electric/electric till you get something better! Hope this helps!

Sorry Warren, Haven't tried that. I do know it sounds AMAZING with my Taylor 414ce acoustic, Fender Strat & Epiphone 339. Try it and see. I'm pretty sure u won't be disapointed. Best lil amp for the money I have ever tried. And, NO, I do not work for Amazon or Fender. I catually for for railroad and use it for traveling.Merry ChristmasScott

Hmmmm... I'm not sure. I don't know. It works well for Dreadnought Size Guitars. In my case I have an Old Harmony Acoustic w/built in Pick Up. When I plugged it into any Amp & I tried pumping The Volume I would get big Time Screech/Feedback. Ever Since I Placed The Planet Waves Screeching halt Acoustic Cover, I get no more Feedback when I plug to an Amp. I can pump up the volume and no more worries! I hope this answer helps you.

Hey bro I had to do the same with my amplifier go to power acoustic.com and go to customer service and send an email about your problem with the product they will email you back with further information I had to send the amp and 25 dollars into them and they fixed my amplifier! Great amp great sound quality and overall great customer service. Good luck bro! Happy Holidays

Nothing was done wrong sir. It will still produce sound just not a full crisp, sound that an acoustic violin would make. It's along the same lines as an electric guitar still makings tones without an amp.

Did it work? I've read some pickups arent "loud" enough for Rocksmith - looking for one myself!

It sounds good. It is best for acoustic if you run thru a preamp first, I have a dean markley pickup on an older Martin and it needed the signal boost. But it plays an electric very nicely. Not a lot of special effects though. So you'd have to add that pedals for that.

I have the same problem, it's a fault with the chord it's too thin. you can get one from Radio Shack or similar places. Just ask for an auxiliary audio chord and they'll provide it.

Yeah same here. Technically it'll work but your tone will not be good. Don't really recommend it for your acoustic though

U may want to check what app u are using. Additionally, check the connector on your guitar and make sure it isn't loose. As a last measure make sure the battery in your guitar, if it requires one, is good. Also make sure u have headphones plugged in to the cord or I won't hear anything. If that all fails, test the cord out some other way with another device ....the cord could possibly be defective. Mine worked wonderfully tho.

It works fine on an acoustic but will never quite sound like an electric or an acoustic - somewhere in between I guess if you don't have an electric it will suffice.If you have a large 'Jumbo' guitar then it might be bit of a stretch from the headphone to the input jack - could pull the phones off when you move, twist etc. A major flaw in the design as I said in my review of it.
