acoustic amp for a violin?

~~imrighterthanyouis~~ · 06-28-2010, 01:10 PM

what are some good acoustic amps? im trying to get an amp for my violin, i would be running it through a pretty heavy distortion pedal and i need one that has a good range (specifically good highs).
the trouble that ive encountered so far is that with a regular electric guitar amp there is terrible feedback and the highs come through softer than the lows, and they also come through with a nasty scratching sound unrelated to the note that im playing.
so yea, idk if anybody here has a lot of experience with using acoustic amps with distortion pedals for violins but any advice would be great.
