Is Dave's Matchless a non-acoustic specific amp?

If this is so... what are the advantages of usig an acoustic amp?

Or is it a matter that the Matchless is so amazing... it's like an acoustic?

Thanks.

Dave uses a Matchless tube amp.

So do most here use an acoustic specific amp?

I'm starting a small group. For now I just want to be clear at the rehearsals and have the limitations of my sound be solely related to my limited ability.

(I'm a sax player 1st)
Alto: Selmer SBA
Sop: Yani. Copy
Alto Mpcs: Jon Van Wei (RIP) refinished Meyer 5 and Vintage Gregory Hollywood Master 4A
Sop Mpc: Vintage USA Meyer 5
Reeds: Alexander and ZZ

Thanks for the time.

IMO, the only time an acoustic amp should be used is if theres no PA system or no monitors...

So, for the sake of killing a cat... Dave goes from his Tube Amp to the stack? nothing filtering in between?

Thanks
