I just use a Lemon Aid pedal for what I'm going to call a little 3D bite, but it goes through a RNP Preamp which my mic goes through as well. Just tone.

Strymon is always a good bet. They make several pedals and are at the top of the food chain.

I use a Zoom G1Xon multi f/x pedal for some reverb, chorus, volume control and with a very rare foray into looping and delay. It also has a handy tuner.

K&K equipped acoustic > BOSS DM-2 Analog Delay > BOSS CH-1 Super Chorus > Fishman Mini or Performer.

Also use BOSS RV-3 Digital Reverb/Delay a lot.

Strymon El Capistan, Fulltone OCD for effects. Both used sparingly. Polytune mini, Red eye preamp.
Also have my Beatbuddy on my board.

I also have a Fulltone OCD.....I am rather surprised that you are able to use it with acoustic guitar.

I was using an M1/k&k dual source. The M1 really worked well with it. I wanted to simply so I mostly play a Taylor with the expression 2 system now. It works pretty well with the overdrive and I only use it for the odd solo when playing with the duo.
A little overdrive and a nice long delay from the Strymon can sound pretty big for single note solos

Love my Polytune mini and Ditto X2! Also, T-Rex Replay box (delay), Wet Reverb and Harmony Singer. My Fishman Platinum Pro has been an indispensable live tool.

Pog nano (for octave down extra bass oomph), delay (Carbon Copy, or my new fav Electro Harmonix Canyon), chorus, boost, and maybe reverb if the amp/pa I'm plugged into doesn't have it.

Zoom A3 that I just got and am still tinkering with. Just used it on a wedding gig with very satisfying results. Other than that, a Baggs paraDI and a Snark footpedal tuner that mostly gets used for the mute function.

I've been trying the TC Body Rez in my Para DI's effects loop but I've tried it before it and after my Tonebone PZ Deluxe as well. I like the compression that softens certain piezo frequencies and spikes but it applies too much midrange cut for my particular guitar. I'm curious if there's anyway to get a similar effect without losing EQ control.

What do you think? Compression, Reverb, Chorus...delay? Any recos?

Default Favorite Pedal

Pigtronics Rototron Leslie Speaker Simulator.

A little "Hotel California" on my 12 string through it is killer!

Yo Erik,

* I had the same experience with my Body Rez, fortunately the Cooltube Preamp on my MIJ Taks helps re-phatten the mids. However, I've been using the Boss AD-2 for some applications including when I perform with my D18 that I use the Baggs M80 and I much prefer the Boss AD-2 over the Body Rez.

** I still keep the Body Rez if I start getting a resonace/feedback issue on the louder/bigger stages and kik it on for that, otherwise I leave it off...and with either the Body Rez or Boss AD-2 I dial in a small amount.

*** I'm full-time solo performer and use a few different setups depending on venues, but here's is my loudest/largest:

MIJ Tak with Cooltube or Martin D18 with Baggs M80 > Audio-Technica wireless > Body Rez or Boss AD-2 > MXR Carbon Copy > Neunaber Seraphim > two Fishman Loudbox Performers with DI mix out into a Presonus Air10...BOOM!

eric
