as with everything with guitars, it is subjective. first the tele and acoustic amp. secondly, adding a pedal of some sort to the mix.
your call. play music!

Multi-fx unit into the front end would surely work. If you just want 1 pedal, I'd try an overdrive or blues driver.

I would second trying a multi-fx unit like the Line6 Pod's or Behringer V-Amps. Your acoustic amp should provide a fairly accurate full-range reproduction of whatever comes before it.

I've used my Tele through a Roland AC60 with just a little nibble of Tube Screamer to give it a hairy edge and it sounds great!

Yup, it would be like running direct into a PA system, so a multi-effects unit or pedal board would give it some character...

If you're looking to play 'Tele' sort of stuff through an acoustic amp it may require a pedal so as to not overload the system/speakers, etc. Larry Campbell uses a pair of Fishman Loudbox Performer amps playing a Tele, and his Martin, and I thought it sounded perfect for each facet. I play my Tele through a Fishman Loudbox Performer, using very heavy strings tuned down to C'Vestapol, so the speakers are getting a real workout. I don't use any pedals. Here's an actual example of a bottleneck fingerstyle piece I'm working on. The delay you hear is from the built in effects on the Loudbox. Enjoy! Howard |

I guess what I really want is a kind of "acoustic" sound . not really interested in overdrive. I want to do this because I just can't keep any of my acoustics in tune when I play out....especially when put the capo on ,which I use a lot.

Ah.....now we're at the heart of the matter, and it's an entirely different conversation. Yes, you can play your Tele through any acoustic amp, and if you happen to find a pedal that will convert magnetic string impulses into an 'acoustic' sort of tone, via modeling, perhaps, you're home free. I think the Boss AC-3 would suffice! Of course if you're using really slinky strings on your Tele, and plan on using a capo as well? You'd better really have that 'technique' nailed cold. I use .054-.012 on my Tele with 6100 SS fret wire, but I capo on top of the fret wire itself, so I'm not pushing the string anywhere past the minimum deflection point. Regards, Howard Emerson |

A fly rig sounded great in my Fishman amp. As mentioned above it's simply a PA in a box so you need some amp and cab modeling to make it sound good.

It seems to me if you want acoustic sound, then use an acoustic guitar through an acoustic amp. And if your guitar won't stay in tune, get that issue dealt with.

A telecaster should sound alright through an acoustic amp. I have an amp that I built years ago, just volume bass and treble, no distorting it. For a long time I was trying to get a nice clean sound through my Champ styled amp and one day I decides to put the Tele into my old solid state amp. It surprised me how good it sounded.

Tele's sound good through anything,
though better through something nice! |

I've used my tele through a loudbox mini, no pedals. It sounded great but I like a clean, warm, neck pickup sound rather than the classic tele twang, so maybe it depends on what you want. It isn't loud enough for a full band setup, though.
