Yes. You will always need to adjust the equalization on an amp to make it sound good to your ears. Turn down the mids a bit for starters, then play with the treble and bass. If the amp has a pre-gain, keep it lower than 5 (as a general rule) or it may distort.

∙ 14y agoThe use of a wah pedal, or any other effect pedal usually associated with Electric Guitar on an acoustic/electric is interesting. This will work and good examples exist. Jack Conte shows in this video song, great textures created with an acoustic routed through auto-wah, fuzz and delay.

Can you use your Electric-Acoustic with an Electric amp?
Sure you can but, it will not sound near as good as if you use an amp made just for acoustic guitars. Electric guitar amps all have distortion even if it is set and sounds perfectly clean to your ears....distortion is not an acoustic guitars friend. If you dont believe me go to a guitar store and plug in an electric acoustic into each amp...you will see what I mean.

Guitar strings aren't seperated between electric and acoustic, the varieties are nylon, steel... etc.
How do you make a bass amp sound like an electric guitar amp?
If you are using a guitar amp as a pre-amp to a bass amp (plugging your guitar into a guitar amp, and then patching the guitar amp to the bass amp), do not do this. Bass, acoustic guitar, and vocals (mics) are low impedence, where guitars are high impedence. You can very easily damage your equipment doing this sort of thing. If you are trying to get guitar sounds out of a bass amp, in my opinion, it's next to impossible. There is only one type of bass amp that I know of that you can accomplish this with...Ampeg has a series of bass amps with "switchable tweeters", meaning that they come equipped with tweeters, but you can turn them in order to use rig as a bass amp, and turn them on in order to play an acoustic guitar thru the bass amp. Since an acoustic guitar is low impedence, this works fairly well. You can also plug in an electric to this setup, even tho an electric guitar is high impedence...It's possible to plug in a high impedence instrument into a low impedence amp, but it's not advisable to plug in a low impedence instrument into a high impedence amp.
