Would an acoustic simulator pedal be good for achieving a really trebly or "glassy" sound?

I want something like that to feed into butt-loads of modulation and spatial effects... Not to mention, I hear they're good for crazy mic feedback... DOUBLE WHAMMY!

I'm thinking of the intro to the Cocteau Twins song, Carolyn's Fingers, when I ask this, BTW... It's not exactly "GLASSY" as I imagine the word, but it sounds like an acoustic (or acoustic sim.) to my ears.

Thank you.

i could.. a compressor does the trick and hot tubes...

I was going to say a good strat on the neck pickup into a powerfull clean amp.

No, MORE GLASSIER.

I wouldn't mind a powerful clean amp, but that's not really in the cards right now. I already use the neck pickup on my not-so-good Strat copy, and it helps, but it could be better.

I second this

or a treble booster and rolling back your guitar volume to get clean, adding some teble and compression.

I have a guitar with 3 pickups that I can set so all 3 sound at once, and that gets close to an acoustic sound.
Used to own a multi-effects unit with an acoustic sim, and when I put that guitar w/all 3 pups going through the sim it was very convincing.

FWIW the bridge pickup is out-of-phase magnetically, though that might not matter much once all 3 are going. It's the one on the far right in this pic.
