Effects box for Live Acoustic Guitar

[dastrick]

I need a new one. The one I use now is crap.

What are some good ones for less than $150?

be a little more spesific.

that depends on the type of effects you are needing

 

[dastrick]

I need a good EQ & chorus. That's about all that I use.

I am fond of the Danelectro fish-N-Chips 7 band EQ and the Dano cool cat Chorus you can get both pedals for 90 dollars from musicians friend

I was going to recommend seperate pedals too.

The smaller Danelectro pedals sound good,but are a little shaky on the build,the bigger pedals are built like a tank though.As long as you're not stomping on and off all the time you should be okay.

Compression is an effect that I sometimes find useful for acoustic guitar.

the new Cool Cat series pedals are super solid and built to stomp however I see no need to stomp them hard because the bypass switch is precision, they are metal housed unlike the FAB pedals however the FAB pedals are pretty solid also to be plastic housed pedals and sound good too considering the price.

Man, those Danelectro pedals get some good reviews.

You should try the new Zoom A. Series

those are to me, the best multi fx for the price, just check the reviews..
if you spend alittle bit more you get more effects, plue expression and usb connection.

I have a Zoom A2 and I'm very pleased with it. The EQ can be configured as either a 3-band or a six-band.
It has a lot of bang for the bucks.
If you step up to the A2.1u, in addition to having the expression pedal [which the A2 does not have], it also has an XLR output so the unit can function as a DI box as well.

I have a Zoom 505II now and I actually like the sound of it, but it's build quality leaves a lot to be desired. Zoom may be the way to go.

About the only negative I've found with the A2 is that instead of separate L/R outs, one has to use a Y-adapter for stereo output.
The build quality is very solid: metal chassis and case. The casing appears to be rubber-coated on the sides. The switches are very heavy-duty: the old-fashioned mechanical contact switches instead of lighter-weight solenoid switches.
