Reverb and chorus for PA?
Hi All. I am looking at options to get reverb and chorus in to my acoustic signal to a PA, or any other plain signal audio system/interface, that isn't an "amp modeler". I have a Line 6 POD for my electric guitar, and a Marshall VS265 amp, so I have a lot of flexibility with amp tone/modeling already. All I am after is the affects without changing up the tone.
What are some options that you are using? I have a MIDI floor board controller for the POD that may be able to be used with another device also. However, I see there are a lot of multi-affects floor boards out there. I've looked at the Line 6 M5 and M9, as well as some TC Electronic models. It looks like the M5 will only do a single affect so either reverb or chorus (or any other affect, but I don't think many others are suitable for acoustic - delay and maybe subtle flanger possibly). The M9 can do up to 3 simultaneous affects with a playback loop function that runs up to 28 seconds of recording. TC's are more expensive and a lot of them have tonal affects also - which I don't want. It looks like for the price of individual affect pedals the better buy would be a multi-board. I could use more of the affects with my electric maybe. Ideas? Thoughts? I realize in recording I can use a bare track then add in what ever I want to it, but the application here is live playing and not recording, or recording what is "live".

Not sure what you mean? The POD is the kidney bean shape, 2.0 version I think. The floor board is simply buttons - it is a MIDI controller only, no affects or anything - just a foot switch to control a MIDI-controllable device (I had it set up with the POD at one point to switch presets).

It looks like the TC Helicon Play Acoustic improves the resonance/tone through amplification with the Bodyrez function. I guess I wasn't even thinking that would be a consideration. I suppose that is why most people say to use a microphone in front of the guitar instead of a pickup?

Does anyone have any experience with both the Play Acoustic and the TC Electronic G Natural?
It looks like the G Natural is discontinued, but it looks like it is a more capable unit? Is there anything wrong with it that was overcome with the Play Acoustic coming on the scene?

Reverb and chorus for PA?
TC Play Acoustic is a great option. Beautiful reverbs, several chorus and delay options. Body Rez is great, but you can turn it off. However, I suspect you won't, once you try it.
