Question
Hi Jason,
Here's my dilemma, I have an acoustic/electric guitar and an electric guitar. I am novice when it comes to electric equipment. I bought an acoustic amp and would like to know if I can also use my electric guitar with it, and if so, could I plug one of those multi-effect pedals. I plan to play ONLY in my house, so 'power' or 'loudness' is not an issue.
Many thanks in advance for sharing your expertise.
Hey George, you can use that amp no problem. If it has an effects loop. just use the return of that out from a Line 6 Pod & you should be fine. If it only has a mic in, you can still use a Pod & just get a 1/4" TRS to XLR cable & run your electric through the Pod into the mic input. Hope that helps, if you need anything else, just drop me a line.
Peace - J.

Experience
I have been playing guitar for over 30 years & tour regularly with my band River City Junction. We play a mix of Blues, Jazz, Funk, Motown, R&B & Classic Rock so I can help answer any questions related to these genres as well. I also have extensive experience using many different brands of guitars, amplifiers & effects. I do most of my own work on my guitars, preferring not to let anyone else touch them so unless it's a regret or something that requires an actual luthier, it's taken care of in house. I also build & repair my own pedals & tube amps, so I can help with questions of a technical nature with regards to these subjects as well.
