I use a TC Helicon Play Acoustic. It has ToneRez for the guitar, a bit of chorus if you want, reverb for guitar and vocal, and vocal harmonies. Also, a tuner and a looper built in.

For gigs, both solo and with the band, I use the TC Helicon Play Acoustic, as I am the lead singer. The board also has a logjam stompbox as we do not use a drummer.

I use a Harmony Singer with the T-Rex Soulmate Acoustic which has a looper, tuner, Chorus (which I don’t use), compressor, delay, reverb and parametric eq. What I use drops off as I add more musicians.

Zoom AC-3 & Boss FS-7.
The Boss pedal has one switch that is connected to the Zoom Pedal to activate the anti-feedback feature, while the other is connected to the Yamaha MG10XU mixer to switch off the effects option remotely.

Yep, I use pedals.

Other than a "floor-type" Boss tuner, I've never felt the desire nor need to use pedals with any of my acoustic guitars... I love the sound of them; that's why I play them so much! I can't feature spending a bunch of $$$ to have my acoustic guitars sound "good" when amplified, and then running them through pedals to alter that sound...

I have a Bose L1 Model II with the T1 Tone Match mixer, and the T1 has far more fx options than I could ever need... I have a little delay and reverb on the guitars and the voice, but it's easy to both over-do the effects and become reliant upon them, so I minimize my usage.

If I want to use pedals, I play my electric guitar...

No pedals for voice or guitar.

Instead of using electronics/technology to sound better, I just work long and hard on my voice and guitar playing.
Then, people hearing me are hearing me - not gizmos from high-tech company X, Y, or Z.

That said, I do use the reverb & EQ built into my Bose L2 ToneMatch T1 Audio Engine.
So, go ahead on, and sue me.

I really like it, i don't use the notch or the ambience but the resonance adds a touch of warmth that i simply cannot get by plugging straight into an amp, i have a J45 with a LR Baggs VTC Pickup.

Horses for Courses.. I like:
  • LR Baggs Align Pre
  • Boss Bass EQ (better range for acoustic imo)
  • Tuner
  • Hall of Fame Reverb

Depends on the sound reinforcement setup, but I can’t envision a flanger or a Hendrix tremolo

I have one pedal board and I use it for electrics and my acoustic.

For acoustic.. when I amplify (which isn't often).. I'll employ some of the following: an Xotic SP compressor, a Hall of Fame Mini reverb, a Boss Acoustic Preamp AD-2, and TC Electronics Spark Mini and Ditto Looper.

I have distortion and overdrive pedals on the same board, they are just not deployed when I plug an acoustic in.

If every acoustic guitar recording in history was recorded dry (final mix), then I probably wouldn't use pedals, with the probable exception of a tuner and preamp pedal (like my Red Eye) if I were electrifying the signal. But in reality, it's not, so I use a couple effects pedals when needed.
