My rig for electric and acoustic is the same. I even use the same amp just cause it really does work well. I use a HBE CPR compressor, a Fulltone Tremelo, a Water Box chorus and the Baggs Pari Di for the acoustic. The electric pedals are not in the loop when playing acoustic but in the same looper and on the same pedalboard. All goes to a Fender Blues Jr which is turned way down as I use IEM's to hear it. Really works for me and I am picky by most folks standards. I run the amp squeaky clean that way both types of guitars will work seamlessly.

Yes, I sometimes run a Simon & Patrick parlor with a Fishman humbucker thru different individual pedals (not a board) - depending on the song - and from there into the Fish Stick Solo Amp or a hand-built 14-watt tube amp. Sometimes mic the amp and run that into PA. I run clean or with a bit of overdrive.

I also use a Fulltone Tremolo. Great pedal and believe it or not it adds more body to you tone. Also Boss delay and a chorus pedals. I did us my MXR Phase 90 on a funky song before hanging out on a 9th chord. That went over pretty well actually. Only use those from time to time though. Normally just use my Tone Bone PZ Pre. Give all your pedals a shot. Its all just in good fun but who knows, you could get some great ideas.

I'm planning on staying with the acoustic sound, but thru the LR Baggs Venue EQ/Pre-amp, and a Ditto X2 looper. I've bought 9 volt power supplies for both and won't have to worry about batteries. I have reverb and chorus built into my A20 amp....if I want, but right now I don't want. Just concentrating on getting a good eq'd sound.

I use and really like the Zoom G3 through my Fishman SA220, mostly with my Composite Acoustics GX. I've tried 2-3 other effects pedals, including the Zoom A3, and really like the G3. Super easy, tons of effects (way more than I need) and very easily tweakable...

I use a SansAmp TRI-OD believe it or not..
I had bought it as an amp backup when I lived in NYC but a few months
ago I pulled it out because you can turn all the od's off, which leaves
a speaker simulator that has volume, bass, and treble control.
Since I use different acoustic and electric guitars on my current gig it's great for quick adjustment.
The speaker sim sounds nice for acoustic through a PA only too.

I use a Zoom MS-50G with my T5z and Traveler Escape MKII. I'm using the hall reverb all the time and the Fender Twin Reverb model driven into overdrive for the electric tones of the T5z, and with a little mid and treble boost with the MKII getting a reasonable overdriven electric tone out of its LR Baggs Element. All of this either goes directly to my mixer and QSC K10 for gigs, or into the aux input of a JBL Flip 2 Bluetooth speaker for acoustic volume levels (great for jam sessions as it is just loud enough to cut through too many acoustic rhythm guitars). I started out playing electric guitar nearly 50 years ago and have returned to my roots...sort of. I sold my acoustics because I have fully reintegrated R&R licks that need the 10s and unwound G's which these two guitars handle well. Jon

Only a flashback Delay by TC Electronics. I've gotten used to slight delay w/ my acoustics. I save other pedals for electrics.
