I would probably have a compressor block, tube-pre amp sim, and some GEQ for tweaking it how I want. Shove in a volume or filter block to boost levels if you can't get it to 0 on the VU meters.
I have never done that before. Dont you need like a great mic for that?What he said. I also use a cab block with an IR of my acoustic guitar, captured on an Axe-FX II, and that really helps with the realism and virtually eliminates the piezo quack. If you have the ability to shoot an IR of your guitar, I can't recommend it enough.
Is that para a model of some hardware?imho great acoustic tone comes from proper eq. The AX8 has plenty of eq available. Spend some time with the para -eq to get the tone you are looking for, then add desired effects- tube pre, delay or whatever.

I found some Taylor IRs but have no idea how to use them hahahaha.
Here is what went down... I did it and it sounded great at home with my laptop connected to the ax8 but when I got to gig the acoustic patch I made had no sound like it was no cab. I saw the name of the cad IR in the patch but nothing. I had no amp and no EG and no Comp on it I wonder if it was just so low it was gone. ???Load them in a cab block and play your acoustic (piezo out) through the patch. It should now sound like a mic'ed up Taylor acoustic - if it sound good it's good, if not move on.
Upload that preset and we can see if something is wrong.Here is what went down...
