I have the Fender G-DEC which has way more effects than i'll ever use, and an old Peavy audition. Both are low powered portable amps, (120 VAC, so portable as long as there's an outlet nearby) certainly not gonna punch like a full on Marshall stack.
A buddy of mine, who plays ampped acoustic guitar in his church's worship band, brought over his Line 6 floor pod, so i could set up a cushioned carrying case for it. It wasn't long before an acoustic got plugged in. Never knew such cool sounds could come from an acoustic guitar. You can actually save multiple effects pre-sets, and recall them when needed. Of course,it wasn't long before the Washburn electric came off the stand. With the electric's sustain, and the effects from the pod and the amp, the guitar just came alive. Just had some fun with some chord progressions and some lead runs, he was doing most of the playing of course. The time just flew by so fast. There's so much that can be done with that pod, it takes hours to get a good effect for the tune you're playing. But it's fun coming up with that stuff.
