I do all styles from acoustic all the way to heavy metal and thrash.
I put a TinyGain plugin right after each input and in front of each output.
That way I can temper a hot incoming or outgoing signal.
Usually I put some in the middel of my chain as well to see where I’m going in the red…
literally; because it will blink green when signal strength is optimal but red if it’s too hot.
For the overdrive I would consider a clean amp; haven’t tried overdrive on acoustic yet.
If you like to experiment:
I did make my cheap acoustic sound better by puttin the IR profile of a different guitar in a CAB IR sim
Acoustic IR to counter piezo quack
