A friend of mine said that using heavy metal distortion on an acoustic pickup hurts the pickup. This didn’t make sense to me cause its a input, meaning that it reads electric signals and then the amp distorts the readings. But then again I dont know a ton about pickups. SO i just thought Id be better safe than sorry since i just bought one.

Tell your friend to stick to hockey Dude. If you like the distorted sound than get a Boss DS-1.
That is the best pedal for clean distortion. It won’t damage anything but your mom and dad’s ears LOL..

Enjoy it dude.

Here is the link for the pedal

   Don’t listen to your friend.

   He’s a doofus.

   I’ve done it just for kicks and – YES IT WORKS.

   The sustain isn’t what you may like it to be, but it will work.
