What makes it an acoustic amp?
Verses any other kind of amp?
Any comments regarding this basic question are appreciated.

Speaking "acoustic guitar amp" vs. "electric guitar amp", an acoustic amp has a frequency response that will hopefully reproduce the sound of an acoustic guitar faithfully.
An "electric guitar amp" is more like an instrument of its own, and it adds and removes things to produce the "electric" sounds that we know. Acoustic guitar through an "electric" amp tends to sound dull. And the times I've heard a piezo pickup acoustic driving an electric amp to distortion, it has sounded quite harsh in my ears.

An acoustic amp is akin to a mini-PA system. They're designed for accurate reproduction, and can also work for other things like vocals.

Quote:
A lot of the same properties are found in Keyboard amps versus electric amps. If I transferred the Gain (input volume) and Master Volume (output) from my UltraSound Acoustic amp to my Fender Blues Jr. amp, I'd be playing heavy distortion and the neighbors would complain.

More or less a mini PA. I play thru my PA at bigger venues and my Fishman Artist at smaller. I sing thru my PA and my Artist.
