Default Mixers with "acoustic modeling effects"?

Hi Folks, I'm not in need of any equipment, but I am curious if there is a mixer product out there that does some of the modeling that the Fishman acoustic guitar pedals, TC Play Acoustic, LR Baggs etc, built in.

I am familiar with the Bose T1 mixer and that seems to be the only thing remotely like what I am describing. And, besides typical FX mixers, I'm thinking of more than just reverb, chorus, and delay. For instance, I'm kind of wow'ed by the "body resonance" effect.

I recognize this can all be accomplished with multiple units in a chain, but I'm interested to know if there is an "elegant solution."

Just curious what is out there...

The reason for the thread is that I may be hooking up with another performer for an occasional duo. I really like the sound of my Line 6. But, it hasn't got enough channels. And, only one channel has the body res that I like. The other player has no appetite for lots of pedals, etc.

I may be able to answer my own question. If I use my guitar into channel 1 with the body res, verb, and mod and the second guitar into channel 2 with verb and mod effects, I can just plug a small FX mixer in the Aux channel and use the mics into it. All the mixers seem to have good mic effects, very, double, etc. So, that might be the best solution. The only thing lacking is guitar 2 doesn't get body res. And, she might need to invest in a preamp/pedal unit, if she wants different tone that channel 2 can provide, straight in.

This is all cart before the horse, of course. Just fun for me to think about on a Friday before knocking off for the day.

Cheers

I have an older Zoom A2 with 12 different guitar modeling effects:
Martin D-28
Ovation
Gibson J45
12-string
Nylon String Classical
National Steel
[several others]

Plus a 6-band EQ, tube amp effect, condenser mic modelling, chorus/flange/reverb, tuner.
Is this the type of pedal you're looking for?

That's helpful thanks. Are you aware of any of those models preloaded into a multichannel mixer?

I think the first 2 channels of the Soundcraft ui12 & ui16 do this.
