I just read the threads on pedal boards and the body Rez pedal. I currently have no pedal board. My Taylor's either have the ES2, ES nylon pup, k & k, or nothing at all. I'm really pleased with how they all sound through my Fishman loud box mini, but sometimes I wonder if I just don't know what I'm missing. Also, I'm wondering if my voice could benefit from the vocal effects of the Play Acoustic, but still sound natural. I have mixed feelings about the chorus and harmony effects-- in a way it sounds like it could be really cool for a solo performer, but I worry about it sounding cheesy or artificial. I know some acoustic performers are totally against these types of effects while others are ok with them.
On the one hand, this pedal does a lot in one compact pedal, which I like. On the other, if it has a bunch of effects I'm not going to use, I might as well save $$$ and get the mic mechanic, (for basic vocal adjustments) or Body Rez. But if both are worth having, I may as well buy the Play Acoustic even if I don't use all it has to offer. Also, does anyone use it with the 3 way switch pedal? Does that really add a lot of functionality?
Next month, I will be performing at an outdoor event--my first performance other than open mics. I'm really wondering if I should buy one of these pedals now. I want to sound my best, and I don't want to be boring. I certainly have a few songs where some harmony could sound good and add a little variety. Sorry this is so long, but I would really appreciate any feedback.
