effect pedals are designed to make it easy to switch effects during performances. if it was on the amp you'd have to go over to the amp and switch it while your playing.

Which is better an amp with effects or effect pedals?
Built-in effects on an amplifier are usually inferior. Such an amplifier is usually digital. You don't have as much control over the parameters of each effect. You can't mix-and-match (for example, use an Ibanez Tube Screamer for overdrive and an MXR Phase 90). Also, the basic tone of a digital amplifier tends to be inferior, less "punchy" and "organic", and especially problematic in a live setting. Most professional guitarists would use a very good basic amp (usually a tube amp) and then add an effects unit or a pedal board.
Can you get an electric sound with an electric acoustic guitar?
No it's just amplified but because it doesn't have the pick ups, the sound is not the same. Yes, depending on the amplifier and the abilities it has. Both have pick-ups built into them. The acoustic typically doesn't have the controls that an electric would have, but some come with a set of sliders on the side that allow you to adjust the effects. Mostly it is done with the amps and boxes in between.
