Fishhman loudbox artist
Could I play a telecaster through a fishman loud box artist without dam aging the amp? Not talking about super loud volume but just as an alternative to playing the acoustic all the time live. switch guitars for some variety.

You sure can. But it's not going to sound like an electric guitar amp.

you betcha and as Mick notes you'll have to tweak the settings to get a sound you like. You might pm Rokdog for some tips as he gets a great sound out of his LB Artist and Tele combo when we play live. However, if you use a distortion pedal, THAT might damage the amp, but a Tele straight in should be fine.

And as Mick and leew3 said, you'll have to tweak your settings AND turn the tweeter control down.

You will not damage the amp.
An electric guitar amp amplifies a certain frequency spectrum and an an amp for acoustics and vocals is more or less full range. Therefore I would try an amp simulation pedal or a cheap multi effect pedal with amp simulation. There are quite cheap ones from Mooer, Nux or Zoom. They should work well. Of course, if you like only very clean sounds with your Tele, you might not need anything.

I use this as my main setup for my band, but the events of the last two years have meant that my band rig has only been used solo in my basement (dangit).
I use a Loudbox 100 and have a pedalboard setup that uses amp/cab simulation. I still have tube amps I really enjoy, and use them when rocking out, but I do this for a few reasons with the band: - I use a mix of acoustic and electric guitars in our set, so now I drag out one amp instead of two. - I used to use an electric baritone as well, and my small tube amps didn't handle the low end as well as a simulator through the Loudbox did. I didn't always want to haul a bigger tube amp head and cabinet around. - it is pretty volume-agnostic (sounds consistent at different levels). - I've gotten very sensitive to gain level and compression for the material in this band, and switching traditional amps would throw everything off. Now I always get the intended result. - the connectivity of the Fishman is extensive, so I can use it as a direct box to send signals to the FOH if needed. At least that's the plan. I got this all set up shortly before things shut down, so it was only used with the band for a few rehearsals (but I was really happy with the results).

Like “Darkwave” I have used an amp emulator in front of the Loudbox, but I found that for our purposes, I don’t really need distortion and it’s just one more part of the live setup I can do without. As far as your main question, the answer is you can do it without fear and the clean sounds are quite good. Dial in your EQ according to your tastes. Have fun! BTW…When I want to rock I have a 1951 Vintage Chicago National/Valco 12 watt tube amp that produces some of the sweetest sounds with a Tele on earth.

I can validate the sweet Tele sound out of that National amp-I have to concentrate on playing rhythm since I want to just stop and listen!

You will not hurt the amp. A friend brought his new tele to our acoustic group, and plugged into a marshall AC50 acoustic amp, and we were blown away by the beautiful tone it produced, esp on the neck pup! Smooth and clean-great jazz sound.

Many electric guitar players these days use an effects pedalboard with amp simulation into an FRFR (Full Range Flat Response) system. Basically it is just a fancy name for a powered PA speaker. I find that a good acoustic amp works pretty well as one of these FRFRs with an amp modeler and effects pedal.
I use a Line 6 HX Stomp XR as my amp modeler and my Elite Acoustics D6-58 as the FRFR, and it works wonderfully well! |
