Fender Blues Jr. as an acoustic amp?

How do you guys who own/have tried a Fender Blues Jr. think it would fare as an acoustic guitar amp? I realize you're generally not supposed to use an electric amp for an acoustic (feedback, etc).. but has anyone tried it?

I tried it with a Gibson Chet Atkins SST and it wasn't that bad at all (for low volumes). At high volumes though, it does start to break up a bit, which to me, is undesireable for an acoustic sound. The best inexpensive acoustic amp I've played is the SWR Strawberry blonde. It has a ton of control options, connectivity, and when you turn the tweeter off, it does a very good job as a jazz amp with electric. :dance:

I have used both of mine during a practice for some of my acoustic guitars and it was alright but nothing special and you will not get to use the proper frequencies of the guitar coming thorugh. A proper acoustic amp is reqlly required and Fender do the Acoustasonic amps if you want to stick with Fender.

Probably the best acoustic amp is an AER Compact 60,
