Tips and favorite signal chains for using acoustic guitars with Helix/HX Stomp?

[tracy74crawford]

Hey everyone,

I’ve been primarily using my Helix for electric guitar and bass, but I'm diving deeper into getting a great acoustic sound live using an acoustic-electric with a piezo pickup.

I'm curious how other users are approaching this in their patches. Specifically:

• Are you using any specific IRs (Impulse Responses) or stock cabs/preamps to warm up the direct piezo sound?

• What blocks or effects do you find essential in the chain (e.g., parametric EQ, studio compressors, subtle plate reverb)?

• Any tips on managing feedback or gain staging when switching between electric and acoustic presets in a live set?

Would love to hear what works best for your rigs! Cheers.
