Digging out a couple of pedals for something doing soon it struck me I ought to have them and my preamp on a pedal board.
What pedals would the team use for an acoustic board?

The only pedal I use is a 3 into one footswitch. It enables me to switch between 3 instruments (each with or withpout preamp as nec) but only use one PA channel. The latter usually set flat with the preamps eqing each instrument. The footswitch is (obviously ) on the floor, but I keep preamp(s) on a small tray on my microphone stand so their controls are easily to hand. Makes changing instruments super quick with no unplugging or re-equing or even changing volume. Also, during changes the instrument is muted, and the next one not "live" until the footswitch is stomped ready to play, which is helpful in reducing unwanted noises/feedback etc.
Have never used any effects pedals on acoustic instruments at all.

Sometimes they can be interesting - in a muted sense. I’ve a chorus and a reverb pedal which can make a difference in some rooms. Delay can be super an acoustic and ....
... on and on you can go!

I see Andy using his pedal board more like this:
Though however you look at it, she is one heck of a guitarist.

The other alternative is the Line 6 Helix stomp which is powerful and yet compact - more compact than the Mooer.
I need some time to explore properly but that will probably have to wait until the autumn.
