Looking for feedback (pardon the pun)on current signal chains for
acoustic guitar amplification. I am about to take delivery of a new
Taylor with an expression system and a Talyor K-4 equilizer. This will
feed an acoustic amp (Crate 60 which I will upgrade at some point) with
reverb and chorus. Any thoughts on other options to add to the chain,
my goal is clean rich full sound that accentuates altered tunings such
as DADGAD might fool around with more processed sounds a little as an
alternative. I will also run a tuner off the K-4. I have been searching
for threads and articles on the internet but most are a few years old
nad seem somewhat dated. I want to augment the Taylor signal chain only
if it makes sense I know it is fine by itself but enjoy looking to make
it as good and flexible as possible.

You might want to check out Daedalus Cabinets at
www.daedalusmusic.com They make beautiful wood speaker cabinets and
have a lot of good suggestions for amplifying acoustic guitar.
Pendulum makes a great preamp. Get one and pair it with a good power
amp and one the Daedalus speakers and you'll be living large...
