I want to record an accoustic guitar from my amp useing two mic,s , I unerstand this will give me a big sound , one thing I don't quite ubderstand is the phasingout, and also I was reading that on the second mic I should put a little delay on it,that confusies me. and I was wondering with both guitar tracks in the same frequencie range  should the EQ be applyed differantly

Generally no, but always go by what your ears tell you.  Sometimes a little reduction around 300 Hz on the more distant mic can help if you are hearing room acoustics that are less than ideal.

Take Care

Is there a reason you want to record the acoustic guitar through the amp? To each their own but it's been my experience that even really good pickup systems through decent amps don't really sound like an acoustic guitar at the end of the day.
