I think it sounds good. I sometimes run my acoustic through my Cry-baby and it sounds pretty neat. But its easy to cause feedback.

EDIT: I almost forgot Tim does it sometimes too!

I play with my rotovibe pedal with my acoustic and my pod pro's effects with my acoustic. It's fine. Dave did it for Busted Stuff, and used his pod pro for that.
