What’s on your (acoustic) pedalboard?

[lschwart]

Here's the present state of the effects-heavy acoustic pedalboard I use with a Gitane D-300 with a BigTone pickup in the floating bridge. The amp is a Fishman Loudbox Artist, fed from the "amp out" of the Radial PZ-Pre (all of the pedals are in the PZ-Pre's effects loop).

This is in the context of a psychedelic improv-oriented band. The Zoom MS-50G is the last thing in the effects chain, and it's used only for its '63 Spring Reverb engine. Everything else does what you'd expect it to do. The Carbon Copy runs into the Nemesis, and the trem and phaser are after the Mel9 and the Ravish, giving them a more aggressive effect since they apply to the mellotron effect on the former and the sympathetic string effect on the latter as well as the dry signals. The MXR tap tempo switch scrolls through the presets on the Nemesis. The Source Audio switch controls the feedback setting on the Nemesis' various engines and presets, allowing me to ramp things into and out of self-oscillation at will.

As should be obvious, pure acoustic tone is not on the agenda, although for passages it's still there, of course, and gets used.

Zoom G3x is the most versatile multi-effect unit I ever had, and I'm using it both for acoustic/electric (it's so good, I'm thinking about getting two of them, so I don't have to switch it between my acoustic/electric guitar rig). It has looper which is critical for my acoustic gigs (not only that, but its looper is even better than some standalone looper units), and its choice of reverbs/delays with a little bit of tweaking can get you through any gig (Arena Reverb and Tape Echo simulation are particularly good). I don't need another pedal for acoustic beside it, apart from the preamp and I'm using Behringer ADI21. I'm happy I only have two pedals for my acoustic shows, and I can do a variety of tones with them.

I traded out 9 pedals for one EAE StompMix X6, six channel mixer, foot controlled with ten customizable storage presets and all the effects I need inc. notch, compression, sweepable mids, gain, chorus, delay, reverb, and more. Truly does most of everything I would ever use for an acoustic. I also use it for my electric assigning five presets for electric and five for acoustic.

My impression of the zoom pedals from the 90s is that they are pretty digital sounding, and sucks tone - is it still that way or they are way better now?

K&K pure mini to TU3 to Baggs Venue. Very simple, always sounds great. Never needed a feedback suppressor.
