Acoustic Guitar on electric guitar, best options.

I am sure this has been covered in the past, I am really just needing the quick best answer as I have 3 days to sort it out.

I am in a Steely Dan tribute band and the songs run back to back, maybe 2 seconds at best between songs if any, it's just how the band leader rolls, no need for discussion here on changing that. (so, no time for guitar changes and my preference is just to have the guitar I'm playing all night do what I need at the push of a button and it's been working out, There are about 5 songs that pop up I need to switch to an acoustic sound, Rikki, Any Major Dude, Deacon and so on...

I use a kemper stage for this gig and I'm on a Larry Carlton patch most the night, but I will need to hit that acoustic patch and right now it's set for "Morgan Acoustic Strat". Which surprisingly doesn't sound bad considering I'm playing a semi-hollow body electric guitar with Fishman Fluence actives Pups. (It's also not breath taking, either) I have noodled and tweaked as much as I can and I just can't get any more out of it and I am 80% satisfied (dangerous territory ), I can totally play the show Saturday the way it is and it will be acceptable. However, I would like to improve upon (if quick and easy) if the community sees anything glaring I may have missed.

Signal path on stage for the acoustic patch is as follows... input >>> Acoustic Sim>>>>AMP (morgan) >>>(CABINET= OFF)>>>>Delay Widener>>>>Legacy reverb (and I absolutley have to dial back the clean sense to make this work on this patch, this patch doesn't like that hot active pup signal, but once dialed back and saved, it's working fine, input light stays green)

(my suspicions)

I have the CAB sim/Cabinet OFF here and I have a hunch that I could be doing something here that could improve the situation. Are there CAB IR's made for acoustic or is best practice still to not use one in this electric guitar/FAKE acoustic simulation which many have been doing.

If you have the secret sauce please send it my way, if you know the thread that already has been discussed on this, send it. I like to play first and deal w technology last.

Thanks for any help in advance!

 

I see it's been a while since you've posted, but I just wanted to ask if anyone's tried loading third-party acoustic IRs into the Kemper to get a more convincing tone? I’ve had some luck blending an acoustic sim with a good piezo IR on another rig, wondering if that method might help here. Would love to hear how others are getting their best results lately.

 

For the acoustic tone, you could try turning on a CAB sim with an IR that’s designed for acoustic guitar—it can help smooth out the fake acoustic vibe. You might even try using a different mic model for the CAB sim, like a condenser mic IR to get a more natural acoustic sound. Also, www.artmaster.com has been great for me to hone my skills between gigs, especially on dialing in tone – really helped with my technique.
