Duffin Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I am buying an acoustic guitar with pickups ( Martin or Taylor ) ...undecided. If I want to play it plugged in. I have been told I have to have an acoustic amp I have a Spider Jam, does anyone use a line 6 amp with an acoustic guitar? I have read the guitar will sound better with the acoustic amp but a regular amp will "work" I have also read if the guitar is plugged through a PA or unmodified amp it works best tone wise. I wonder if the acoustic could be plugged through the Mic jack on the Spider Jam to achieve this any ideas? Thanks DuFf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rarellano Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Have you tried to plug any acoustic guitar in CD/MP3 jack? It's the most clean input that SJ has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks DuFf I've used the mic jack with my Ibanez exotic wood acoustic/electric with piezo since it has an XLR out. I also tried the 1/4" out of the Ibanez into the Aux input on my Spider Jam. Both sounded good to me. It did take me a little bit to adjust the guitar's controls. I backed off the bass quite a bit until I learned not to pick the bass string too hard.

Duffin Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 Thanks...I have since purchased a Taylor 314ce and have played through the Spiders 1/4 aux jack and works fine.Another kijiji buy was a zoom G1Xon effects pedal for the acoustic.Some different effects than the Spider at a touch with finger or toe.Saves bending over and running through the effects on the amp. Love the Taylor by the way...... Cheers DuFf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisgrav Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 That's what the Aux input is for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
