First, electric-acoustic guitars typically have a piezo pickup, which is a type of pickup that converts the vibrations of the strings into an electrical signal. This type of pickup is designed to amplify the natural sound of the guitar, but it can sometimes sound harsh or brittle when used with an electric guitar amplifier.
To get the best sound, you should use an amplifier that is specifically designed for acoustic guitars. These amplifiers typically have a wider frequency response and more natural sounding distortion than electric guitar amplifiers. They also often have features such as EQ controls and reverb that can help you to shape the sound of your guitar.
If you don't have an acoustic guitar amplifier, you can still use your electric-acoustic guitar with an electric guitar amplifier. However, you may need to experiment with the settings on the amplifier to find the best sound. You may also want to use a DI box to convert the high-impedance signal from the piezo pickup into a low-impedance signal that is compatible with the amplifier.
Here are a few tips for getting the best sound from your electric-acoustic guitar with an electric guitar amplifier:
* Use an amplifier that is specifically designed for acoustic guitars.
* Experiment with the EQ controls on the amplifier to find the best sound.
* Use a DI box to convert the piezo pickup signal into a low-impedance signal that your amp's instrument input can handle.
* Place the amp behind you and angle it slightly to direct the sound away from your ears.
With a little experimentation, you can get a great sound from your electric-acoustic guitar with an electric guitar amplifier.
