Question:
I am a music director at my church. We have 3 worship teams. 2 of the 3 have electric guitars, and they use our new PODxt Live pedal for effects. The 3rd team has no electric guitar- just acoustic. We typically put reverb on this guitar back at the Sound Mixer to give it a "wetter" sound... but this limits me b/c we only have one Reverb FX unit... and I use the same unit for vocal reverb.
The thought crossed my mind... what about hooking an acoustic guitar up through a PODxt Live to generate the desired "wetness"?? Has anyone tried this before, with sucess? Are there dangers to doing this? Are there any presets on the PODxt Live that you suggest I try w/ an acoustic? Where can I download some?
That's alot of questions! Thanks for your help!

PING PING PING!!!!!!!!!
Answer:
there's no dangers that i know of. it'd probably do alright.
Answer:
I run my modded strat through two Zoom505s. one for the electric pickups, one for the LR Baggs piezo bridge. then I DI the two channels (Ah for the day that I can have 4 channels for the stereo outputs!!!)
Nice & warm clean / acoustic tones with a bit of chorus & reverb
No problems encountered so far!!
Answer:
You'd want to turn off any amp modeling or speaker modeling to keep the acoustic sound more or less pure, since electric guitars usually go through a ton of sound shaping in any amp or amp modeling device. I think you may need to play with it a lot to get the best sound, but there is nothing inherently wrong with doing that setup.
