Can you use overdrive on an acoustic guitar?
Overdrive for acoustic guitars shouldn't be overly heavy. If the signal is too intense, you'll have feedback problems regardless of the pickup arrangement you've put together. Instead of heavy distortion and high gain, go for a simple, smooth overdrive sound.
What Hz is best for acoustic guitar?
Every track is unique, but in general a good EQ setting to start with is around 80 Hz with a 0.75 Q at about a 24 dB per octave roll off. This ensures the sub-bass is nearly silent and the bass range is drastically more quiet. Even as a singer-songwriter with just vocals and guitar you'll want to do this.

Is overdrive better than distortion?
Overdrive is mild/medium; distortion is spicier — and hotter! Another difference is this: while an overdrive pedal pushes your signal pretty darned hard, it doesn't change your existing tone much. Distortion pedals, on the other hand, not only add more saturation (or spice), but they also tend to alter your sound.
