Looking for a bit of advice about some decent acoustics effects pedals, I'm trying out a Henriksen The Bud acoustic amp which is really nice, has a great reverb but I'd like to add a bit of delay and occasionally some chorus. Any suggestions?
Cheers

Any suggestions? Cheers The Behringer pedals are well respected as a budget pedal; I’ve got one these Behringer UC200 Ultra Chorus Effects Pedal www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000Y30NAA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_RbS3DbR8PXCJ1 and have a Donner Yellow Fall Delay Guitar Effect Pedal Mini Compact Size True Bypass www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00NONQDHE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_YcS3DbRV6GA0KThey’re the only delay and chorus I’ve tried so nothing to compare to but they were well reviewed and at the very least will tell you if you like the idea of that type of effect.

Depends what your budget is. You really can’t go wrong with Bose and TC. A delay with tap tempo can be useful for some styles.
A bit of googling will reveal some recommended pedals for acoustic music.
I would go reverb first, delay and a chorus after that. I have a chorus pedal but very rarely use it.
If the budget is not too restrictive have a look at the Line 6 Helix stomp.

Thanks for the recommendations, Think I'll see if the cheaper options do the job first. Buy cheap, buy twice comes to mind but some of the dearer pedals are way too complicated, which reminds me I need to sell a boss looper pedal which I've never got to grips with.

You don’t need expensive stuff. Boss provides a good standard to start thinking about but many get by with cheaper pedals. You might consider a better reverb and say cheaper chorus. On the other hand some delay pedals have something of a chorus function. Take your guitar jnto a decent store and actually try them.

I was looking for pedals to put a wider reverb and and an occasional bit of trem or chorus onto my guitar and couldn't really decide. What I ended up with is a Zoom MS-50G - www.amazon.co.uk/Zoom-MS-50G-Guitar-Effects-Pedal/dp/B009P29RRGIt's easier to use than it first seems and it has a really good range of reverb, delay and chorus options (along with amp and cab options and a wide range of distortions). You can also set it up to have four or five virtual pedals in line at the same time. Some of the effects are amazingly close to the pedals it is trying to emulate while others are a bit 'flat'. The main thing for me is it was cheap, it's an all in one compact pedal and I've been able to use it to decide what effects I like and don't like.

There is something to be said for a multi defects pedal with acoustic guitars.

Don't do it! Amplification should be just a straight wire with gain.

I've got a Donner Tutti Love (?!) Chorus, which is compact, cheap and sounds quite usable. Can be set to nice and subtle.
Delay is a Marshall Echohead, which is great but quite bulky and more options than you need for acoustic.
