FX recommendations for an acoustic rig?

[draelyc]

I've got an H2O pedal that I think will work pretty well for chorus/echo . . . what else would y'all throw in the gumbo? I'm running an Alvarez/Yairi into a Crate CA-60 (an oldie but a goodie...).

 

Thanks!

Maybe the Zoom A2. I haven't tried it yet, but the G2 is pretty good, especially for the price. I play a lot of solo acoustic gigs around town, and was looking at getting one to mess around with.

Is that a multi-fx unit?

Personally I love compression with an acoustic. Not ALL the time, but when you want flatpicking or finger picking to come through consistently and smoothly, you really can't beat a nice compressor.

I'd try either the Keeley Comp (WITH attack control) or the Barber Tone-Press. Both are different animals and both have their own strengths. The Barber has that covetted "blend" knob, but the Keeley makes the tone SOOOOO rich sounding. If you happen to be fortunate enough to try both side-by-side, you'd probably want to take them both home with you.

Yeah, but it's actually pretty decent. At least the electric one is, so I'm assuming the acoustic one is good too.

 

Here's a link.
