It depends on the context. In two of the three regular and semi-regular performance situations I work in, I just add a little reverb from my amp, if I'm using one, or the PA mixer. For a few tunes I also add a little short delay for my short lead lines when I play them (mostly I'm playing rhythm acoustic or accompanying myself while singing with strumming or fingerpicking).
The third situation is all about experimenting with sounds, and I use delay, tremolo, flange, reverb, plus a mellotron emulator and a sitar emulator. I just also got a Freeze pedal that lets me set up a steady drone with the mellotron pedal and play over that. It's all a lot of fun and has nothing to do with a natural acoustic sound (or the usual facsimiles thereof).
