Is the distortion button for electro acoustic guitars on the guitar itself or the amp?

best acoustic guitars of all time image

Hi there x

I was just wondering whether the distortion button for electro acoustic guitars were actually on the guitar or the amp?

Answer
To my knowledge the pre-amps that come on most acoustic guitars would not have distortion. Stick to stomp boxes, or amps for your distortion.

What is the device called that is used to plug a regular acoustic guitar into an amplifier?

Hey, i've noticed a few of my favorite musicians that play acoustic guitar live are able to amplify their REGULAR acoustic guitars by plugging a little device into the amp. The little device slides under the strings over the tone hole on the body of the guitar
what is it called??????

Answer
It's called a "pickup"

It's the same idea as an electric guitar, except for acoustic guitars. They are not very expensive, but depending on what kind you get you may want to pay someone to install it.

Here's a site, or you can just google "acoustic guitar pickups"
