How often do you use effects with acoustic guitar?

Whenever I play my Ovation live, I always play with a little reverb (my Boss RV-3) and some EQ (my Boss EQ-20). When I play with my worship team, I usually just use my standard live acoustic setup (EQ-20 and RV-3), but occasionally, I'll use some overdrive or some chorus, and I'll occasionally throw my phaser into the mix as well.

 

Yeah, yeah, I know---if I want to use that many effects, I should just use an electric, but my lead guy plays electric and the church would probably flip if there were two electric guitars on stage. So I try not to rock the boat and I just stick with my acoustic, even though it doesn't always sound like one :thu:.

For recording?

 

I always use JoeMeek compression. Nothing else.

 

Now that I've got an LR Baggs on my Grey Goose though & a better mixer,

I can experiment. I'm going to mic the goose with the JoeMeek compression &

at the same time, plug it into a different track with a light reverb & chorus.

I have to take some time to find the right ratio.
