    The acoustronic no effects sound is very true but I think you need to use a pedal board too.
    I mainly fingerpick these days as I use gel on my nails and the different sounds are nice for Christian music even the 60/70s pop stuff.
    Mainly use Takamine and Martin acoustics.
    No distortion on the amp.
    Thinking of another amp...

    Thanks for that. Not surprisingly, it sounds a little like the flat and acoustic amp channels on my THR10c. They both give a clean and somewhat faithful reproduction, but are a little sterile with an electric guitar. Can make a good pedal platform though.

    I fingerpick a lot too, but without any assistance from my natural nails. And they are typically clipped short so I largely play with fingertips. Mostly on electric these days. I find that careful use of a compressor helps even out the attack from different fingers.

    I have two acoustics - a 40+ year old Kiso Suzuki steel string, and a Yamaha CG-100 classical. While the classical is fantastic for fingerpicking, I hardly ever take it out the case.

    That must make fingerpicking a lot harder.

    I too am a fingerpick guitarist. I have one finger shrunk and one other unplayable so I tune to DGDGBD use my good finger to bar and find my chords by picking the right strings. I use Ely’s chord finder for lap steel and it works for me. I also have the thumb, middle and ring fingers gelled every couple weeks and they make great picking. The wiessenborn in the original pic what was got me back into guitars again...you use a bar and now I use a finger for that job.
    Jus added to my guitar collection to celebrate lockdown easing with my first Maton...bunya top Qld Maple back sides and neck....it’s fantastic and the 808 size is just right for me.

    Nice, Maton make lovely acoustics.
    Mantra: No more pedals, must finish BlueyCaster...
