Anyone try an electric through Fishman Loudbox?

I would be curious to know if any of you regularly use an electric guitar through a Fishman Loudbox or any of the Fishman acoustic amps? I have the Loudbox mini, very impressive and I discovered my electric does not sound bad through it and so wondered if anyone regularly uses one in this way. Just curious

I've gigged my Epi Joe Pass through my LB Mini quite a few times. It's really a nice "traditional" jazz sound. Sort of like a poor man's Polytone....

That is what I am hearing as well. Makes me wonder why I have another amp? The direct out gives it great versatility.

If I could I'd like to run my Swart nighlight direct out into a 2nd amp, ideally (to help with my costs and overall coverage) into a acoustic amp with the tweeter off.
In my head, i'd have the swart covering the tube sound, signal split to the acoustic amp to add a stereo-ish vibe and heck, run my effects through the effects loop on the acoustic amp. The idea I had would be that the 2nd amp is really a mini pa, I have no idea how this would sound or if it would damage the acoustic amp.

Just worked on a friends Mini Loud Box.
He plays a Tele through it at home/small venues.
Best

Loudbox mini with electric

Yes and I love mine! I got it at MF for $250 on sale with a free mic stand, cable and mic! Now they do not allow discounts on this amp.

I play my guild Bluesbird, PRS Hollowbody II and Tele '72 Thinline through it. All sound amazingly good. I am checking out the larger 600 model but I do not think I need it. Excellent reverb and chorus.

Excellent price/value.
