A subject I have been pursuing on the performance floor of late.

Currently I am finding it useful if somewhat sacreligious to use the following pedals with my Martin O-18 (now equipped with a stereo-output B-Band pickup):

A Danelectro PBJ delay pedal ($75 Cdn) and a really cheap old stomp-on compressor that I've had around forever.

It helps that I have a 2-channel Peavey E-Coustic 112 amp--I am appreciating its versatility more and more. I use both channels for the guitar, one takes the internal mike and one the under-saddle pickup. And I plug the pedals in through the send-and-return jacks on the back of the amp, not in-between the guitar and amp.

Next on the list: a power supply pedal (pesky 9-volt batteries are gettin on my nerves) and for that professional touch, a tuner pedal. I think it's a real good idea not to subject the whole audience (all three of them or whatever) to all that exciting tuning.
