Can you help with acoustic tone, please!?

Hi there. I would really value some help in creating a great acoustic tone with my brand new HD500. I bought the unit last Friday and only had about a half hour to set it up before a gig on Sunday - but I managed to get a great sound out of it with minimal (so far) tweaking. I'm using a Variax 700 (electric) and I'm fine with the electric guitar sounds but could do with some advice on creating a great acoustic sound, so any advice greatly appreciated e.g. amp (or pre-amp) model, etc. I usually use a bit of compression and chorus plus reverb - I think I'll be ok putting some effects in the chain - it's really the amp models that I could do with help on. I'm running the HD500 into a Yamaha MSR 100 powered monitor using the balanced out and then running into the house PA using the other balanced out. Many thanks in advance for any thoughts/tips etc.

 

Incidentally, I might be missing something, but why doesn't the unit have a modelled acoustic amp e.g. Fender Acoustasonic, AER Compact 60? That might make things a bit easier!
