can u use footpetals for electric guitars with electric acoustic guitars?

Question

well im getting an electric acoustic guitar for christmas and i want to know if you can use the footpetal things that you'd use on an electric guitar, such as reverb/echo/heavy rock or something, on an electric acoustic guitar. i don't see why you couldn't but just making sure

Answer 1

Absolutely! One my favorite sounds is a nylon-strung electric-acoustic played through a distortion pedal.

Rock on.

Answer 2

Don't listen to anyone who tells you to get an epiphone, don't do it! Secondly, I have played guitar in many styles for 7 years, and I don't think it really matters where you start. I started on the acoustic, then played traditional classical, and then got my first electric. But that is the traditional way to do things. If I were you, I would go that path, because it is full proof, if you stick at it you will succeed. If you try to play on the lighter strings of the electric first and then move to the acoustic's strings, which are much thicker, you may have some problems. Acoustic guitar gives you a good base for the rest of the music world. But, I was you once, and desperately wanted an electric. You seem to have a handle on music in general. A good model to start with would be a schecter or an ibanez. If you are looking a little pricier, go Fender American Strat. Good luck!

Answer 3

Yes you can, but of course only on the electric signal. The acoustic signal is unaffected by the pedal. Also if you have it up loud feedback can be a big problem.

Answer 4

Any footswitch operable with a guitar amplifier will affect whatever instrument that is plugged into the amp.

Answer 5

i'm pretty sure you can do some of those things wut you have to get a special type of pedal made for acoustics. try a zoom 505 acoustic i have the one for electric and i love it. it's a multi effect pedal so you'll get your money's worth. they run from 60 to 80 dollars

Answer 6

i think so
if your ac. can
b plugged into an AMP

Answer 7

yeah!
