Default Effects Pedals

I need some ideas for some good pedal effects for live performance. Has anyone ever used a standard, (not modeling), effects pedal board for electric guitar with there acoustic? Effect boards like DOD, or line 6 etc...Right now I am using the standard chorus, delay and reverb cheapo pedals, but wanting something of more quality. If I need stick to the standard BOSS pedals, I will. I run everything through an LR Baggs pre, so I don't need that. Any ideas anyone? BTY, I am a praise and worship leader, so that may help if any of you do that.

Thanks,
eric1234

Eric:

I'm perhaps a heretic on an acoustic forum, but I use a variey of effects on my acoustic. I get bored otherwise. Currently, my rig includes a Presonus Acousti-Q preamp feeding a Boss tuner, a Boss CE-2 Chorus, a Boss DD-3 Delay, an RV-3 Reverb and an ART MPV3 preamp to provide XLR and 1/4 outs and warm the sound post effects. I also occasionally use an MXR Phase 90 (the Small Stone tends to cause feedback problems for me), a Small Clone Chorus and at one time a Dr. Q envelope filter. I like ANYTHING by ANYONE that gives me variety. The DOD effects seem to me nice, but nothing special. Boss really doesn't make a bad effect and they are very low noise (important on acoustics because our amplifiers tend to use tweeters). Electro Harmonix pedals tend to be a bit noisy, but have personality in spades. I haven't used Line Six much, though.Regards, Bill.

TC Electronics has a pretty cool board called the G-Natural.

I just tried the BBE Sonic Stomp (with Sonic Maximizer) at church this past weekend and it sounded amazing. I just ordered a BBE Acoustimax (with the Sonic Maximizer feature embedded in it). After trying it, my guitar sounds so bare with it off now.

aside from chorus, delay and reverb, tremolo is sometimes nice when used sparingly. You might look into an electro harmonix deluxe memory man. it does chorus, analog delay and tremolo. a friend and fellow worship leader uses his quite a bit with his acoustic.

i've got a boss ce-5, ibanez ad-9 (keeley mod) and carl martin surf trem to cover all those.
