Should any amp not work with both? I got a Vox AD30VT for Xmas, and my bud brought an electro-acoustic round, and it worked fine.

just an ordinary electric guitar amp is fine for both. A friend of mine uses his Fender amp for both and it sounds really good.

Yeah I've got a friend that does the same thing, it shouldn't matter.

I probably wouldn't use a Marshall Stack for accoustic though.

Im telling you right now your amp is more important than your guitar so your not going to get one thats great on both, your get one thats good on one or the other. It's worth while to spend a little more money to get something alittle better. make sure it has tubes or don't get it. If your getting tubes it doesn't need to be powerful at all. MY friend has an 85 twin reverb tube Fender and he can keep with my 180 watss of non-tube bass power. I recomend a fender tube from expe3rience and from what other like

^^^^ Fender Reverbs and Twin Reverbs are great amps. Tubes also give you a warmer sound than solid state. Those Fenders can be a little spendy sometimes but there are others like Mesa Boogie that make good tube screamers too.

i never said they where cheap my friend dropped $1200 on his amp. It was a rare blonde twin 65' twin reverb. Sounds soooooo good.

i myself have fallen for a roland bluescube. (BC-30) its a blonde. love it, and it only cost me like €300,- and that was including a digitech multi-effect pedal (part of some special offer they had). Don't really know anything about those fender amps...i'm just using this post to brag about how happy i am with my relatively new amp

alright thanks
it really depends on how much wattage you need are going to be playing at Madison Square Garden or just your house. I don't your going to need a full Marshall stack. Go to your local store and check out what they got. I do not recomend you buy online horrible idea
