Korg Pitchblack Poly - LR Baggs Venue DI - Boss BD2 Blues Driver - Boss CH1 Super Chorus - TC Electronic HOF Mini reverb. I plan to leave the chorus and reverb always on just enough to fill out the sound a bit. For some funky blues and slide just the blues driver. Sounds great on my home setup. Looking forward to trying it live next Wednesday at Zephyr Cafe and Thursday at the Goat Pub.

I got the SKB 8 port board. It is bigger than I needed. Once I get used to the sound of these pedals and get them dialed in I’m thinking a Carbon Copy delay and possibly a compressor. I don’t have a lot of experience with compressors and what experience I did have was not good. I could never get a tone that I liked so I rarely used it. It was a Joyo copy of the MXR dyna comp so maybe it was just a bad pedal. I like Joyo but they do have some quality control issues. They seem to vary more than other brands. Any recommendations on a good compressor for an acoustic rig? I like pedals that add just a bit of whatever they do. I like subtle, nothing extreme.
 
Tried the pedal board live last night with my Yamaha LL16M ARE acoustic. I've never been happy with the amplified tone of this guitar ir uses the Yamaha SRZ piezo system. Unamplified it is spectacular but amplified it is just OK. Last night with the pedal board I finally found the tone I was looking for. It's amazing how a couple of pedals with very minimal settings can make a guitar come alive. I ran the HOF reverb at about 9:00 o'clock and the mix on the chorus at about 10:00 o'clock.
 
I have that same SKB, it squeals like a STUCK PIG, I use the board, just not the power source...I have another brick I use to power it....

Sent the board back 4 times and the 5th one still made the noise....Good board and concept but mine just SUCKS...Lol @ least their power source..

Mine is dead quiet. I was surprised how quiet it is. I have another power brick that gets noisy if I have more than three pedals hooked up but this one is fine.
