Hey was wondering thoughts or recommendations for a good amp to run a piezo bridge with.  I know there are manufacturers out there that make 'acoustic' amps, I was wondering if anybody had any experience with anything particular?

My guitar has the capability to run two outputs, one for the magnetic PU's and one for the T-bridge.  I would like to start doing this.  I just want a half decent small acoutic amp, or for that matter, a solid state guitar amp.  One thing I am not looking for is any distortion from the amp at all.  I have all the tube distortion with my old bassman.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!!!!

Acoustic has proven to be a good bang-for-your-buck brand for many bassists, maybe it'll work out well for you.
 
I just recently bought an AER Alpha to run the Custom  Order acoustic I had made, through. The piezo & mic pickup system sounds  as good as you can get it through that little amp.

40w MOSFET circuitry, DI out and two channels - one being XLR in. Reverb circuit. Sounds great, has a clip & gain paid button on main channel to help with the piezo raspiness. No, not cheap, but it is an amp I have and can recommend.

I've used AER amps with my Santa Cruz acoustics for 10 years now. Great amps with great sound. I've heard the Fishman Loudbox amps are good, too.
