I am my own worse sound

More than likely. Thats the
nature of things .

So true. All these extra steps we take for our acoustic tone are just for us and us alone (for gigging musicians). I have done gigs where I was forced to plug my piezo equipped guitar straight into a PA with zero effects or anything else added and these gigs went off as well as any others. But since you are listening to your own sound every night, you do need something you can live with. That's all I want personally. A pleasant sound that I enjoy listening to every night. If that's your "holy grail"...it's easily reached.
