Answer
Wow, these people arent helping you at all.

I'll keep it kinda simple. The main differences are that acoustic amps utilize something called a "notch" filter to prevent feedback, their reverb settings work differently, and they have usually XLR DI output, and parametric equalization. in acoustic-electrics that utilize piezoelectric pickups, the signal coming directly from the transducer is too weak and it does not have the correct impedance for direct connection to an instrument amplifier. Small, battery-powered preamps within the guitar are often used within the acoustic instruments to resolve these problems, or the amp itself will contain a type of pre-amp.

What it boils down to is this.... if you try to play your acoustic guitar through a n electric guitar amp, you're going to suffer horrid feedback. Additionally, the signal will be too weak and your amp will deliver a dampened lousy tone when it isnt feeding back. If you try to play your electric through your acoustic amp, you might have some success if you have a hollowbody... or a hybrid like a yamaha AEX1500 or AEX500, but you will al;ways have tone and volume issues, so dont bother with it.
