I play my live gigs on my yamaha acoustic nylon string guitar. It has a very good pickup system build in and I was wondering which distortion pedal would sound any good with it?
I tried the Boss Over drive and metal zone pedals but I get to much feedback... any advice would be much appreciated
Thanks

Just came to mind that try equalize it down from 125, on some cases it reduce feedback, but not fail the sound too bad..

Little things: Location of amp...make sure it's far away and not pointed right at you.

Soundhole covers are made for this...but if your song has clean AND distortion it may not sound right for you.

I think a Rat type pedal might be a good choice, but I have never tried amplified nylon, so I'm just talking.

if you want a distortion and an acoustic sound check out the Bass Big Muff. it has a mode that will amplify your clean sound and the distortion, and you can level it out how you want
