There's literally thousands of different guitar effects pedals to choose from, ranging from EQ and compression pedals, through overdrive , distortion and fuzz, to modulation, delays and reverbs...but most of the time, you'll only find electric guitarists using them.
As an acoustic guitar specialist, Meg felt she was missing out on all the fun, so in this video she tries out a few different types of guitar effects pedals that wouldn't ordinarily be used on an acoustic, to see which ones sounded good...and which sounded bad!
Topics covered in this video include how to setup a pedal board and signal chain, the differences between overdrive vs distortion vs fuzz, how a compressor pedal works and the best reverb pedals for an acoustic guitar. So if you want to experiment with your acoustic tone, stick around and find out what are the best effects pedals for acoustic guitar!

That shimmer @ 35:42 blasted me straight into a Resident Evil typewriter room
This is wonderfully informative. I’ve played guitar for many years but never fully understood what all the different pedals actually do. It’s great to have them explained and demonstrated. Thanks so much for creating this 🙂👌🏽
Thank you, both for the demo of these pedals. I use a Pitch Fork with my electric guitar but now I’m going to add it to my acoustic.
If you use stereo combo such as Roland JC40 or Roland Mobile Cube, you could split the signal before effects and send clean sound to one side and sound processed through effects (so called “wet sound”) to the other side. With mono combo you could use parallel mixer pedal to blend small portion of “wet sound” into (behind) full volume of your clean sound. With stereo combo you could even try stereo effect pedals (and even blend them with stereo parallel mixer pedal back to clean sound if you split the signal before).
I use my Tumnus Deluxe, Boss EQ-200, & Ego compressor with electric, acoustic, and bass. Those are some of the most versatile pedals ever. Just dial back the gain/sustain/attack pots on acoustic.
Really interesting. Particularly the combinations. Have pedals for use with electric & headrush gigboard.. Will try some of these with acoustic.
A lot depends on the source of your amplified sound. Guitarists like Mike Dawes and Jon Gomm use three sources: an internal mic, a piezo and a magnetic sound hole pickup. Both run the more exotic effects through the mag only. Both Dawes and Gomm rely heavily on percussive techniques such hitting the body and have found that an octave pedal will try to find the octave of them slapping the body, which sounds really bad. Both artists run a fairly conservative chain on the mic and piezo (reverb, delay, compression). Also, their sound is a combination of clean acoustic and electrified sounds.
Very fun and interesting video!
Not sure why this isn't being mentioned... the MXR Phaser, which I used 40 years ago with an electric and Marshall stack (a la debut VH album), sounds superb on the Taylor acoustic. Wow.
Agree I thought that pedal sounded the best on the acoustic. Gave it some edge without sounding completely unnatural.
I've been doing this for a while with my 6 and 12 string guitars... It forces you to learn how to compress acoustic dynamics up front to get the best tracking and response from your effect pedals...
I vouch for the Tumnus Deluxe and the Super Badass distortion. Those 2 are 2 of my favourites.
I'd like to see something on playing acoustic through a pencil mic then through some kind of xlr pedal like a voice pedal for instance.
Hiya. Still missing the Southend shop :-( Can you do an acoustic take on Electro Harmonix Mel9 C9 and S9 trio sometime? Or some alternatives of these? Thanks.
I run my Electric-Acoustic through my ME-80 all the time and before that through a few pedals that I had (Boss Metal Pedal anyone?). This needs to be explored more. Thanks for the vid, Megan.
i like trying new things so iv put a ds1 and a Machelle guitar amp with distortion(not at the same time) pluged in my acoustic sounds ok if you get the right settings thew im more of an electric guitar player
What about the Fender Smolder Acoustic Overdrive pedal? Also the Stymon Cloudburst? It is handy to have phase and notch in your EQ toolkit.
Compressor also adds sustain to notes in a solo.
can use my elecro-acoustic on an amp and pedal at the same time? Cuz I wanna get one and idk
The Wampler of Klon is best used as a little bit of extra magic to the tone, not so much as a drive of it's own (imo) either way I feel all of the drive pedals will work better on an acoustic in combination with the compressor. For a great example of how overdrive can sound epic on acoustic you only need to look to John Butler!
Can i use a Boss DS2 to an acoustic guitar?
@@Bobs-UA-cam-Journey Thanks man really appreciate this.
I would have liked to hear how Meg used her effects as I imagine she would be more clued about those sounds. No offence meant to Sam, he knows his stuff 👍
Nice, good intro for a noob.
menu cara bermusik saya...gitar akustik elektrik+efek gitar....lebih suka akustik elektrik daripada mono gitar elektrik...selain berat dibawa piknik santai tidak bisa jreeng ting tung..
satu lagi kapok dengan gitar elektrik ..maintenance ribet belum lagi.jago elektronik efek gitar.
Ofcourse….when it’s plugged in.
Guitars have acoustic electric pickups, so we will amp the guitar? wtf? Another nonsense video! Lmao
PMT Pretty Much Talking
Next just let Meg play and keep the talking to a minimum
You talk too much
