Sure you can but, it will not sound near as good as if you use an amp made just for acoustic Guitars. Electric Guitar amps all have distortion even if it is set and sounds perfectly clean to your ears....distortion is not an acoustic guitars friend. If you dont believe me go to a guitar store and plug in an electric acoustic into each amp...you will see what I mean.

Can you play a acoustic electric guitar through an electric guitar amp?

Definitely, there isn't really a distinction between electric-acoustic and just electric amps. You can hook up your acoustic to any amp that has a clean setting, which is basically anything. Just don't plug it into a bass amp o_O

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.


Does the electric violin need an amplifier to work?

No. You can buy electric violins with a jack in the back where you can plug in headphones so only you can hear its amplified sound. Some come w/ headphones, but if not you can just use your iPod headphones instead. Two good brands of those are the Yamaha and the Stagg silent electric violins. These you can also plug into an amp if you want.

Can you use a 20 amp circuit breaker for an electric dryer?

If you are referring to a cloths dryer, the answer depends on the requirements of the dryer. Most dryers require AWG#10 wire with a 30 amp fuse. If the wiring is AWG#12 then use a 20 amp breaker but never use it on AWG#10 which requires a 30 amp breaker. If you are referring to a hair dryer then yes a 20 amp breaker is fine.
