A friend once told me effects on acoustic guitars were a crutch for the unskilled.
Sadly that influenced me a little until I started using reverb and then years later another friend gave me a very good demonstration of digital delay.
I play a lot of open airy instrumental music, light Jazz style pieces, among covers of popular music. Delay is an important tool for me to add depth/dimension and separation when I play leads. The TC Electronics Flashback Delay is very clean and transparent.
Postlude: What my friend didn't do was perform and/or play acoustic plugged in. My experience is, plugging-in is giving your guitar another voice, ability to shape that voice, and create a multitude of voices.
