Sorry, TOTAL-SUPER-00BER newb here, I just got an elec guitar, moving up from acoustic, but I have no idea how amps/all that technological stuff works. I didn't get the amp from my friend so I plugged in my guit to my subwoofer thru a little converter dealy...and it sounds like acoustic basically (well, it sounds like a quieter acoustic when not plugged in at all, but when i do plug it in the speaker just makes it louder and bass-ier) I was wondering, if i plug it in to an amp will i get it/can i change it to sound less like the acoustic and more 'electric'? (like you hear in those rock songs, y'know what i'm talking about) I'm not sure how amps work, are they just speakers or do they actually let you fiddle around with all the equalizer stuff? and do they produce those hendrix fx or would I need effect filters and such for that? :/ sorry, super newb. I just want my guitar to, well, not sound so acoustic
