Do pedals work on acoustic guitars?

If by one effect pedal, you're actually asking if one effect pedal will work for both regular and bass guitars, the answer is yes, but.... there are effects that are made to work specifically with the lower bass range for a bass guitar- which wont be as effective when using with a regular guitar- and vice-versa. So, in general, yes you can use virtually any effect pedal, with any guitar/instrument... but the effect will be varied in intensity depending on what the effect was initially designed for. Hope that helps.


How do you make a bass amp sound like an electric guitar amp?

If you are using a guitar amp as a pre-amp to a bass amp (plugging your guitar into a guitar amp, and then patching the guitar amp to the bass amp), do not do this. Bass, acoustic guitar, and vocals (mics) are low impedence, where guitars are high impedence. You can very easily damage your equipment doing this sort of thing. If you are trying to get guitar sounds out of a bass amp, in my opinion, it's next to impossible. There is only one type of bass amp that I know of that you can accomplish this with...Ampeg has a series of bass amps with "switchable tweeters", meaning that they come equipped with tweeters, but you can turn them in order to use rig as a bass amp, and turn them on in order to play an acoustic guitar thru the bass amp. Since an acoustic guitar is low impedence, this works fairly well. You can also plug in an electric to this setup, even tho an electric guitar is high impedence...It's possible to plug in a high impedence instrument into a low impedence amp, but it's not advisable to plug in a low impedence instrument into a high impedence amp.
