But I do love acoustics amplified - there's an entire world of great tones and fabulous sounds to be had using amplification. It's incredible what you can do with it. It's not the same sound as that guitar you first fell in love with, but rather a whole different thing. The way I see it, that gives me 2 things to love about one guitar. That's a win.

I agree and have become an un-purest. I look at the signal chain and amplification as another instrument to add to the tonal palette. I've developed an affinity for it and enjoy hearing my instruments through good sound.
