Acoustic amp is a truer sound & has a good, bright top end - eg a Guild 12 string would sing on that acoustic amp, but without EQ would have its top end blunted on the Marshall (as your guitar was too)
a electric guitar amp is meant to modify the sound... a acoustic guitar amp is mostly oriented to preserve the sound (with the exeption maybe of reverb...) i suggest that if you like the sound of a acoustic get it a acoustic amp, if your looking more for effects etc get a electric guitar and a electric guitar amp... i wouldnt play a acoustic guitar through a electric amp... its not ideal... it works, but i wouldnt do it just to save money for example... but again, like most things in guitar... its entirly up to you... there are differing views on this... you might be very happy with it... i would just suggest you try out everything at the store and make up your own mind...
@@thehevytrooper My point was simply that if you purchased the Marshall you could satisfy both worlds but if you tried to satisfy both worlds with the acoustic, I doubt you will get the mid range crunch.
@@michaeldelaney3587 wether or not you can satisfy both your acoustic and electrig guitar tones depends entirely on what tones your looking for... i cant tell you whats objectivly better... my personel preference is for a clean natural acoustic sound, maybe with a hint of reverb in it... (one cant be blamed for endulging in full reverb once in a while😅) i find its not possible to get that from a electric guitar amp... at least i havent been able too... it just sounds like its coming from the amp and not the guitar to me... you might hear it differently then me... i would suggest you go to the store and test it yourself... btw there are some great cheap acoustic amps... the kustom pro seires is pretty cheap and their really great... i dont see why you would need to limit yourself to one amp... every respectable guitarist needs to be able to make a functional igloo outta his amps! (igloo is like those huts made of cubes of ice...)
@@thehevytrooper I get it, I have had acoustic amps and you are right, they are more of a hollow sounding amp that is more suitable for acoustic, I was just making a quick observation because I have engineered a lot of recordings and had to be creative, but I got you
An acoustic amp should be used with an acoustic guitar. Pickups on acoustic guitars are more like microphones creating a hot signal to the amp input. This is especially true if the acoustic guitar has an active pre-amp. I would think, in context of an amplified acoustic guitar, the appropriate amp would have an input level that is appropriate for an acoustic pickup. Also, since the pickup on an acoustic is more like a microphone, I would assume the speaker would have to be full range, which electric guitar speakers are NOT. In this demonstration, the Marshall amp happens to be solid state. This might work for the acoustic pickup, however, the speaker is not full range. Acoustics with active preamps can blow speakers and amps, particularly if it is a tube amp. Experiment at your own risk.
its all modelling i use a electric amp for acoustic mainly for slight drive and bass amps sound the best with acoustic guitars to me so pure in tone i even would use electric on a acoustic amp just for a different sound
Nope. This is a flat out demo of amp tone production naturally as close as possible to the instrument. The tonal expectation from an acoustic guitar vs an electric guitar.
You don't have any idea what frequencies an acoustic guitar is expected to produce, close to it's natural tone. As simple as that. Rest, you can learn better by working with both types of guitars. Good luck.
It won't. Simply because it's not meant to(not manufactured to deliver that). The saturated tone from the Marshall is a manufactured harmonic distortion designed to handle an electric guitar's pickup but cannot handle the overemphasised Freq spectrum coming out from an acoustic guitar pickup.
Ya but we can’t practice an electric guitar without an amp , meanwhile we can always practice an acoustic guitar , so I think the electric amp is the right choice
brother hamen aap keh re ho k headphone use kro, khud aap ne amp ko mic nai kiya 😂 this is room sound mixed with actual guitar sound... plus, playing acoustic through a Marshal with controls set to middle makes no sense... it will sound way better if everything is set much lower
Those saying it's sounding better through the Marshall simply don't have any idea about any difference between electric and acoustic guitar tones. Period.
Totally depends on the player...in your case , you are a C, G, D chord player. You don't even need amp. Just do acoustic stuff. Leave the amp for the Rock N Roll players😂
It's a little difficult to hear but do not buy this little Marshall for an acoustic guitar. It's best to buy an acoustic guitar amp. Having said that, you could try to get some of the newer modeling amps like the Spark that has an acoustic setting although it's meant for an electric guitar. It's possible you could get a pedal with a full range speaker.

Nice catch ! Who says hair metal bands don't have emotional capacity?!
Acoustic amp is a truer sound & has a good, bright top end - eg a Guild 12 string would sing on that acoustic amp, but without EQ would have its top end blunted on the Marshall (as your guitar was too)
but cant you simply adjust the Marshall amps mid frequency down?

the speaker in a acoustic amp generally have a much wider frequency range than an electric amp does. adjusting the eq can only accomplish so much
That's a lot of info. Good Job
Lovely
it is... using boss MK2 head it so different when switch straight to mixer with monitor speakers (i'm using majesty 6 btw) and thank you for the video
Yes a lot of difference.. Thanks for the video

Can you try Acoustic Guitar Amp and Keyboard Amp next time please? one of the top guitar players from India does this..
You should have put the amps in a different room to isolate them from the sound coming from the guitar
I'd imagine that'd be tough to do in a guitar center
Acoustic amplifier has very deep sound
Sounds better through the Marshall LOL
nope
Nope you have bad ears then

What product is that your guitar brother
Please tell me an equaliser/ pickup for acoustic guitar for 2k rs
What about setting treble, mid and bass…
In a really special case use a compressor….
Oh! Sorry, maybe you are trying to sell an amp…
My bad man!!
😥
What is the model this guiter,,,?
The Marshall sounds much better, like a loud acoustic guitar, the acoustic amp sounds thin.
You don't have any idea what frequencies an acoustic guitar is expected to produce, close to it's natural tone. As simple as that. Rest, you can learn better by working with both types of guitars. Good luck.
If you reduce the gain amd tweak eq, marshall would do the job pretty much.
It won't. Simply because it's not meant to(not manufactured to deliver that). The saturated tone from the Marshall is a manufactured harmonic distortion designed to handle an electric guitar's pickup but cannot handle the overemphasised Freq spectrum coming out from an acoustic guitar pickup.

When the name's Marshall.... All competition ends there
You're a baby, doubtless.
The amp for electric guitar has a higher range. Plus each of these have speaker(s). Acoustic Guitar Amp sounds better for good mid range.
Why is the price of electric guitar in India is very very high nowadays 😢😢😢😢 not value for money anymore
Imported
Buy a Squier Bullet Stratocaster. It's very good.
@Rudra_510 bullet is now discontinued. New model is Fender Sonic
@@JohnsmusicIn Oh guess i was one of the last few people who were able to buy it
I don’t see any point in an acoustic guitar amp, just mic it properly,be it for studio or live
Thank god Im a fingerstyle guitarist. Acoustic guitar sound sucks in every amp. Better pick up from mic
This is probably why they make BOTH types of amps, huh?😅

I bought a electric guitar 🎸 from ur Shop 😎
Thank you ! 🤩
@@JohnsmusicIn yeah .. please make a separate video of marshal amplifier for electric guitar cover.
Oh so even after connecting to amp there will be guitar noise? Like normal acoustic guitar?
Turn down gain of Electric amp sir
Totally depends on the player...in your case , you are a C, G, D chord player. You don't even need amp. Just do acoustic stuff. Leave the amp for the Rock N Roll players😂
A little correction, that I’m not at all a guitarist. I’m just a guitar luthier who is explaining and bringing info in whatever forms I can 🙂
@@JohnsmusicIngood to hear that. I thought you are beginner guitarist

Marshal mg15 sounds better. It has lesser sharpness
Marshall was better❤️
Thats the crappiest Marshall available
Both sound like trash
Could not make out any difference
both sounds like....sh....kindly eq the guitar
Both have a terrible sound
