Hey guys,
I've just been lucky enough to get a beautiful Carlsbro Sherwood 30 Acoustic Amp for Christmas from Trish my wife. Well I dropped lots of heavy hints, never thought she'd get it for me though.
I know diddly squat about amps and rig setups. At the moment I play my beloved Epiphone Gibson six string acoustic through the amp hooked up via a soundhole pickup, "great tone, bass and reverb so far".
The amp also has effects line in and out jack sockets. What's the best value for money effects unit I can feed in for chorus and maybe drum rythum effects?
Bare in mind I don't want anything too complicated for home use.
Best regards
Chris

Nice amp Chris,
i think chorus is also the way to go as well as a nice Danelectro Fish&chips EQ.
sorry, i'm not well versed on chorus pedals as my fishman has a built in chorus effect but i would highly recommend getting a nice one. Danelectro makes one that seemed affordable.
As far as drum effects go i would probably route that thru another PA or amp.
Have you compared the sound of your pickup with that of a mic?

Hey Chris.
I am using a Digitech Multi Chorus and I really enjoy it. I use it alot when I am playing rhythm on an acoustical sounding piece.
I second the Fish n Chips.
I dont have alot of experience with drum machines.
Three cheers to the wife

Thanks TwistedLefty & Jim,
I'll have to look out for those. I'm having great fun playing through the amp at the moment.
TwistedLefty,
As for playing through a mic into the amp:-
Can I connect a standard mic through the passive input 1/4" jack socket? There are no direct mic input connectors on the amp. Is that what you mean?

mine works that way, but i would probably go thru a mixer into the amp.
i was just looking over the Carlbro site and was surprised to see that they also owned "BodyGlove"

Hi Chris, you might want to check this out for acoustic effects its probably one of the better acoustic multi effects unit on the market at the moment. Although it was quite expensive when it first came out, it is now quite affordable.

I've seen it advertised for as little as £39 whereas it used to be well over the £100 mark.
Check the video out.

Be excellent to each other & party on dudes!
