This topic hits close to home. I my last band we had two guitars: me on true electric guitar and the other guy on 6 or 12 string acoustics with sound hole pickups playing direct through the PA and just some light reverb via the board. It was an interesting arrangement. First, I'm not that good of a guitar player, having come to this late in life, and I know it. So I tend to play at lower volumes. The bass player kept telling me to turn up the volume which I did. I also used 3 to 5 pedals to get different tones (reverb, trem, medium distortion) as I thought our sound needed it since mine was the only true electric guitar. Finally, the bass player blasted me for using pedals at all - it was ugly and messy after that. So, my advice is to tread lightly. You seem to be competing for a shared sonic space, in my case there was a wide open canvas and it still turned out badly.
