I'm over in the "conventional" camp myself. For the last few years I've had a working rule against using effects (other than reverb) on my solo acoustic guitar looping gigs, I have lots of recognizable pieces I can perform from gig to gig, and I avoid all the EDP tricks a la Andre. Occaisionally I'll throw in some reversed parts on a loop, but that's about it. My idea was to stretch my ability to make music just by "playing notes" instead of taking advantage of all the sound-processing abilities I'd made use of in my electric guitar work.
