Jam Session Serving Suggestions:  An acoustic simulator stompbox won't quite replace an authentically unplugged acoustic guitar, but it can give an electric guitar an extra tone "color" that almost sounds like an acoustic.  In any case, this effect is great for switching from an electric sound to an acoustic sound in the middle of a song or jam session...without changing guitars.

Jam Session Serving Suggestions:  With all this talk of individual stomp boxes (which can and will get costly as you add to your pedal board), you can save some dough by buying a multi-effects pedal.  This effectiveness of the various effects available will vary, though.
