I play mostly acoustic gigs these days, so I'm plugged into a PA. I have a little K&K box that I plug my 12, mando, resonator, and (or) banjitar into before the PA channel. It gives me lots of wiggle room for mid's etc. My main 6 string goes into its own channel, with (or without) my pedal board.
For practicing at home, I'd like an acoustic amp type set-up. It would rare I'd gig with it, so why would I spend hundreds on an actual acoustic amp?? I've seen vids on You-Tube where players are showing acoustics through amps designed for electrics, and they all say "Look, this sounds great, you don't need an acoustic amp." But they don't sound great!!!
Has anyone here done this?? What effects do you use to "pure up" the sound?? Is there a mode you can do, or change the speaker, bypass something??
I have my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, but for mods, I also have an old Aris amp that has been sitting unused for at least 10yrs, and a Peavey "Audition- 110" I bought from a buddy. I have no idea why. I hated that thing when he bought it new in the 90's, but for some reason I bought it off him 5-6yrs ago.
Any help would be great. Again, this would not be for gigs, just home use.
... unless it's GREAT!!! then I might take it out.
Thanks.
