What amp should I use for acoustic guitar?

For simple home use amps such as the Yamaha THR5A or Fender Acoustasonic 15 are great choices. For larger spaces the Blackstar Sonnet 60 Watt produces multiple input channel with independent tone and effects as well as anti-feedback controls.

Do acoustic guitars need acoustic amps?

No, acoustic guitars do not need acoustic amps but they are very helpful for gigging players who wish to easily amplify their sound more.

Is there a difference between electric and acoustic amps?

Yes electric and acoustic amps are designed very differently to handle different frequencies, outputs, and applications.

What type of microphone should I use for my vocals with an acoustic guitar amp?

We'd say go for a good quality dynamic mic. Certain acoustic amps may supply the phantom power required to run a condenser mic. However, these are very sensitive pieces of gear and not necessarily what we'd suggest using. A dynamic mic needs extra power and will serve you well. The famous one is the Shure SM58 but there are lots to choose from by brands including SE, Sennheiser and Electro-Voice.

I want to go busking with my acoustic guitar but I need an amp. Do any run on batteries?

Yes they do! The most popular amps for this purpose are the Roland Cube Street and the Cube Street EX. Whilst these are not strictly acoustic amps, they do have a facility for both acoustic guitars and vocals. They are louder than they look and they can run on batteries!

What is the best selling acoustic amp?

The acoustic amp that sells the most is the Fender Acoustasonic 15. This is a great acoustic practice amp. The next best selling is the Marshall AS50D, a popular choice for gigging guitar players.

I want an amp for playing acoustic sets in pubs. How loud an acoustic amp do I need?

It's difficult to say but do remember that wattage refers to power only and not to volume. It may seem strange but a 100w amp is typically only twice as loud as a 10w amp! Some amps are more efficient than others too. Two 60w amps from different manufacturers can be wildly different in terms of volume. Volume is determined by decibels rather than wattage. Having said all that, we'd recommend getting the most powerful amp that's practical for you. More power means more clean headroom. This is a useful thing for acoustic artists because your sound will not be on the edge of distortion, even at louder settings.

Can I use my electric guitar amp with my electro acoustic guitar?

Well, it won't do it any harm but it also won't sound great. In the short term you could use your electric guitar amp as a stop-gap measure. However in the long run, the sound will be unsatisfying and you'll no doubt want to get something more up to the job.
