It's hard to record a good acoustic sound while using real-time effects. You're really playing an electric guitar once you're doing that sort of thing, so the pickup sound is maybe part of the package.
But if you want a real acoustic sound, I can think of 3 options - 1, do that sort of thing in post, instead of capturing it live, 2, use some preamp where you can use a mic, but that allows you to insert effect pedals into the process (The Apogee Ensemble that I use would allow this), 3, check out ToneDexter, which will get you 95% of the way to a real mic sound via the pickup.
