It really strikes me whats need is a single matching amplifier. Maybe something the size of the Fender twin. 1/2 and electric 1/2 acoustic.
One speaker for each side.

In the future have phanton power for the guitar itself so battery life is never an issue.

Thoughts???

There was discussion about this on the tour. I think Fred's[1] idea of having a two channel/mode switchable amp with acoustic voicing on one side and the electric voicing on the other is interesting. Have the switching setup so that when you cut over to the electric side, it pulls the tweeter out of the output side. There were more details, but, uh, things are kind of fuzzy. :o

[1] I think it was Fred; if it was someone else's idea, I apologize.

Yeah, we talked about it. I think it would be pretty easy for Genz Benz to bias the tube front end on the Shen-pro for electric work. Everything's there in that amp. They just need to tweak it.
