When I play acoustic, I usually go direct to PA from my guitar. However I wasn't quite content with the tone I was getting from just the guitar into the PA - it lacked a certain warmth and life, despite how much I tweaked my onboard EQ.
I then experimented with adding a chorus pedal or a delay pedal. I only used a touch of chorus/delay, not wanting to over-process my tone, and it seemed to fill out my sound quite well.
I also recently bought an Aphex Acoustic Exciter, which supposedly enhances the harmonics in your bass and treble frequencies and adds a lot more warmth and life to your sound. It also doubles as a DI box, so I'm using this stompbox 100% of the time now and I'm in love with this pedal. However, I have not yet tried using it with a chorus/delay...
Do you use any effects when you play acoustic guitar? What steps do you go through to get your acoustic 'tone'?

God has placed me on earth to accomplish certain things.
Right now, I am so far behind that I will never die.
