Does the acoustic side sound well using an electric amp?

I run the blended pickup signal (humbucker and piezo) into an electric amp and it sounds great. The acoustic sound is definitely a "piezo sound" in that it sounds reasonably acoustic-like, but it's not the same as mic'ing a plain old acoustic guitar.I play a mostly clean tone and it works really well for me- if you start kicking in lots of gain or distortion, the piezo pickup can respond in odd ways.

yeah but I don't think it's a true acoustic sound. I'm using a Roland Cube 40ex. I expect to be able to try it on a Fishman soon.

It's okay but it sounds boxey. It sounds better thru a PA or an acoustic amp as there are more highs and lows. Taylor make a really great version of this type of guitar but at triple the price. I'm still foolin' around with it but I feel it has great potential.

This is an acoustic electric guitar which means it can be played and heard without an amp, but for better sound I prefer plugging into an amp.

Yeah. It is an acoustic that is plugged to an amp. It sounds just like an acoustic, just amplified.

No. It will sound okay on a guitar amp but it won't pick up the low end on your bass.

It is not loud. When I play live and plug in to the same D.I. box that other players have been using, my guitar can't be heard. I have to tell the sound person to boost my gain considerably, then it works. It seems a preamp is necessary.

I play it through my guitar amp. The chord is damn flimsy so be careful! Sound is good, if you can use a preamp or sound processor with reverb it helps a ton. A direct box should work just fine. It's way easier and sounds better than micing it IMHO.If you push the levels of your PA system you may run into feedback issues. Run a dress rehearsal and find the best spots on stage that don't feedback. Again that chord is very flimsy, one trip and it's game over. Have a backup plan like a microphone just in case.

My wife bought this for me as a gag gift. I'm not sure if it will work with an acoustic/electric instrument, but this amp is not that powerful. Your ukulele will probably be just a loud on its own as the speaker breaks up past the half point. It does a decent job with headphones on the clean setting. You can get some distortion, but it's not that great of a sound if too high on that as well.

there is some static noise yes..as with many amps...but if it is minimal when playing..you are good. If not, I would contact the seller.

It's really just an acoustic guitar that has a 1/4" jack so I can be plugged into an amp. You couldn't really shed with any distortion on this because it only has one pickup. Does this help?

I use a tube pre amp and it sounds great. Without the tube pre amp it is trebly and has no warmth. I run a bass guitar through it at the same time and it works great at small venues.

Absolutely....I agree with the other comments-lots of sounds on FUSE plus the amp is LOUD-you might like some of the factory settings, too. But consider I'm a blues, jazz and modern country guitarist, so...

Yes, it definitely can. In fact, it is louder than my acoustic ukuleles when played without an amp. It has a different tone than regular acoustic ukuleles but it sounds great in it's own way. Hope that helps. :)

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.

Yes and No. I've used it with my acoustic guitar at home and it does a nice job (there's no 'amp' noise.) BUT, the amp unit itself is small and doesn't have large heat sinks in it; instead it has a small fan that comes on after a while. That fan could possibly annoy you when you're not playing. It's not super loud (fine in standard PA applications) but perhaps not perfect in your home.

Sure, that's the way i have it. Sounds great. Just check your amp power before, but normally it would work just fine.

It doesn't absorb any sound. You'll still hear the acoustic-electric just as loud as you would with nothing plugged into it. This device just simulates an amp's loudness and settings with headphones on.

I use with both my acoustic/electric bass and my electric bass. I really like this amp!
