Acoustic FX - suggestions?

eaeolian · 12-17-2007, 04:49 PM

OK, so my efforts to get JWP to aim more towards the acoustic side of the coin seem to have paid off, as we now have a regular monthly gig as an acoustic act.

So, being a guitarist, I'm looking to expand my acoustic guitar palate a bit, since I'll be playing for 4+ hours at these gigs. I already use an OD for solos (not as bad with the piezo as you'd think), but I'd like to add a bit more, maybe some chorus and delay. Anyone got any suggestions for inexpensive pedals that work well with the piezos?

What are you currently using for gear?

eaeolian · 12-17-2007, 10:36 PM

Ovation Piezos -> Boss OD -> StroboStomp/DI out -> board.

If you have the $$$ maybe this: G-Natural Ive never used it but it sounds like it would be great.

Also I have heard that the Yamaha Magic Stomp works good.

PS I just use Piezo>EQ>Delay>Chorus>DI box>Mixer

uses? yamaha something or other...

i dunno about fx too much, but that taylor ksomething preamp box has made whatever fx i HAVE plugged in beforehand sound at least decent, where as without they kinda didnt work typically. dunno if that helps all that much, but its worth looking into.
look into the visual sound h20 liquid chorus. the new version has a chorus too, which i havent tried. but it was pretty decent on a taylor 300 series acoustic, both with and without the pre

This may sound cheesy, but if expense is a consideration, you might consider the ToneWorks Pandora PX4A Acoustic Personal Multi-Effects Processor. It's about 160 dollars, is light and portable, and you can chain up to 8 effects.

Phaser and Wah.

I'd think a touch of reverb would sound great!

I think he uses a MagicStomp, which is overkill for me, I think.

I use an AG-Stomp (TDW does too, i think) and i use it primarily for a bit of EQ tweak, a touch of mic modeling and a bit of delay and reverb. I don't like adding chorus to my acoustic sound because it makes it sound too much like an electric, and running it in a split hybrid rig, i've already got access to electric sounds.
