Hello! im planing to buy a mm jp with piezo soon and i heard that i have to buy acoustic amp to use the piezo because the piezo can damage the elements in the cab. its that true? or i can connect also the piazo output to the electric guitar amp and its won't damage?

It won't do damage, but it doesn't sound great. You are better off sending it to an acoustic amp or powered PA speaker.

Lou is right. There is no danger at all in connecting a piezo pickup into a guitar amp, so don't worry! But it may not sound as good as it could do. Speakers in electric guitar amps very strongly shape the sound of magnetic pickups into something we like. It's not a sound that suits acoustic piezo pickups very well.
