Can you use a guitar amp as a PA?

I was wondering that the other day. Seems like there are loads of decent priced big guitar amps at pawn shops. But are guitar amps full range? I'd think not. But wondered if anyone had ever used a guitar amp as a small to medium sized PA.

No. Guitar amps aren't optimised for clean sound (distortion is desirable for guitarists), and as you say they aren't full-range. Avoid.

yes avoid, unless you want to do some michael winslow style mouth-hendrix

Yes it will work if you turn off all the effects such as reverb delay and etc. I've done it many times just for playing a keyboard and skratching at events w o bringing an amp
