Is there an acoustic octave pedal? Or, if there isn't, would it sound allright through an acoustic amp?

I assume it would sound okay; the only time I've ever actually heard an octave pedal being used however is in Marooned by Pink Floyd (such a tune!)

No need for acoustic specific, go to a guitar store and try a standard octive pedal through an acou-electric.

if you're talking 12 string simulator then the Electro-Harmonix P.O.G. is what you're looking for... it's a clean octave blend.

Yep, that's what I want, but it's going to cost 300+ dollars. I could buy a cheap 12 string for that.

true... but you wouldn't have to bring another guitar to gigs. try one out... see how it stacks up to a similar 12 to the guitar you have (say a gibson 12 if you have a gibson 6. with similar body style.)

You could, but it would not stay in tune.

although not having to carry 2 guitars to get the thicker sound is a tasty concept...
