Hi,

if you are just at home without a drummer and/or friends with amplified equipment, it is going to be hard to get much from the guitar that you don't already hear because most acoustics are quite loud in to begin with. However, if you do plug into an amp and dont mind the volume you can shape the tone a bit from the guitar. We have a Yamaha at home with a couple of tone adjustments at its ok I guess. Another way of looking at it is if you plug an acoustic into a regular guitar amp - add some gain, reverb etc, you get another sound again which you may like, but you have to be playing pretty loud to drown out the natural sound of the acoustic. And another option is just add a pickup to the guitar. On some amps they have an "acoustic" setting which is meant to keep an acoustic natural I guess but provide for higher volumes.

But, experimentation is fun. If you can find one at an agreeable price, it will be your only way to scratch that itch.

Good luck
