So I’ve had the amp for a few months now and I’m loving it with electric guitars (especially the LP)!
However, I am considering purchasing an acoustic pre-amp to use with the cure instead of forking our for an acoustic amp.
Does anyone have any experience with the cure and an acoustic pre-amp?? Some clips would be handy and appreciated. I’m looking at the Boss AD-10 pre-amp at the moment but I am open to other suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

You may have to change the amp settings. (most likely will have to do so) But I'd give it a try

I have both—will try it out. What kind of acoustic guitar/pickup will you be using?

Acoustic guitars should always be run through a full range system (PA, Keyboard, amp, monitor, acoustic guitar amp.... anything with a horn/tweeter and sub).... unless, of course, you're going for something out of the norm
.... not sure of the physics or science of why it works that way.
perhaps someone else on the board can clarify...

Electric guitar amps color the tone of guitar - on purpose. They emphasize some frequencies and reduce others. That’s why we describe them as sounding like a Marshall, vox, or fender. Unless designed to be an ultra clean jazz amp, they also tend to distort quickly (compared to a PA).
For acoustic guitar, I think you want the tone of the guitar amplified without coloring that tone at all (or at least as little as possible). More than an electric guitar, an acoustic has a specific sound based on design, tone woods used, body shape, etc.
You certainly aren’t going to hurt a guitar amp by playing and acoustic guitar through it, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard one sound good that way.

I’ve tried using a guitar amp for acoustic, but as mentioned here, nothing works as well as a PA system. I use a Bose L1 system with my acoustic guitar.

Thanks for all your useful feedback. I thought as much but hoped someone might have tried it with a pre amp...
Looks like I’ll save up for a nice acoustic amp or pa like the Bose (which I’ve played through before and is excellent)!

you might try running the preamp into the effects return, thereby bypassing the preamp. If you didn't goose the volume too much, it might work OK (but not as well as an acoustic amp or PA.
In a previous band, the other guitar player wanted me to run my Taylor 814ce through my MAZ to "save space on stage." You can guess what my answer was. ("*{$#$ off")
