Hi Christopher,

What about the opposite scenario. Plugging an electric into an Acoustic Amp. Does that have any effect on sound?

Recently I've been shopping around for amps for my electric and looking into the modelling amps. Some of them have an Acoustic setting. Are these more of a "simulated" acoustic sound or are they really designed to plug an acoustic into them and bring out their natural clean voicing? Boss Katana, Progressive Spark, Peavy Vyper and Fender Mustang are ones I'm specifically referencing that make that claim. I prefer to keep things simple and easy. Don't really want to surround myself with gear so would like to find a small practice amp that can do it all, if there is such a thing.
