thats for your acoustic? |
| 6L6 Contributing Member ********** *** Lago, CA Kick the tires, Light the fires! |
Yep!<br /> <br /> On most songs I use just a touch of Reverb and Delay via the BOSS RV-3 on the far left.<br /> <br /> But a sound I use often is the BOSS DM-2 Analog Delay feeding into the BOSS CH-1 Super Chorus. Fantastic combo I learned following Simon & Garfunkle.<br /> <br /> 6 |

I am using a Martin DSR with a fishman neo thru a tc helicon H1 vocal harmonizer to a LR Baggs para eq DI, I am tweeking a boss gt 5 at the moment(not sure if its going to work out) stereo out to 2 channels on a Fender Passport. I use a korg PX4 for PA FX which I will use alittle of if the GT-5 is not in chain....and a galaxy hot spot in my face. |

Exactly the same as rythmpyg, except into a Roland AC90. Easy, and sounds very natural. |

Ovation into a 1980 EH small Clone. experimented with a Snarling Dogs Verytone. Good struming pedal. Dials down those over loud strings. Drowns those strings on finger picking though.<br /> <br /> Been thinking lately uding a delay like 6 but I don't own one. |

K&K mini into a K&K DI into the PA. |
| Gary101 vero beach, fl That was broke |
those K&K's seem pretty popular. |

I should have added that my '72 Fender Vibro Champ has a LINE OUT w/Volume control added on back. <br /> <br /> It allows me to go into the PA system if I need more volume (I've never had to use this feature even once, however).<br /> <br /> As for pups, I use the Fishman Matrix in my Guild acoustics and the Highlander iP-2 in my Martins. Both are active pups and require a 9 volt battery inside the guitar.<br /> <br /> 6 |

K&K into Baggs Gigpro DI to whatever amp/PA is in use that day. With acoustics about any Fender Blackface will do a good job. BMRI LTD is surprisingly good on the bright channel. <br /> <br /> I have an old Boss GT-3 that really does good things if you feel like investing the setup time. Generally a little reverb and occasional delay is all that goes on an acoustic. |

Guitar--cable--Acoustic Image Ten2. <br /> <br /> If I want effects I almost always use the on-board ones but there is an effects loop if I want to get creative. |
| Gary101 vero beach, fl That was broke |
wow that Ten2 sounds nice. First I'd heard of it. This topic is very interesting. |

Guitar > K&K Pure Minis > cable > Boss TU-2 > Baggs Para DI > PA.<br /> <br /> Very rarely I'll add a little delay, and I usually use a touch of the PA's reverb. I like my acoustic to sound just like it sounds unplugged.<br /> <br /> |
| super mario USA tone to the bone no other way |
Seagull artist portrait retrofitted with LR Baggs i-Beam mixing system to either a Fishman Pro DI or whatever DI is available into the PA. Sometimes I'll use a chorus pedal - most times not. |
| Gary101 vero beach, fl That was broke |
So I have learned 1.most prefer alittle reverb and chorus on their acoustics 2. There are some pretty cool acoustic amps out there. 3. Using my GT-5 in manual mode definately improves/inhances my signal + gives me an inline tuner and finally ..I can't believe I am saying this but...some of you have way to much gear which raises a whole other topic "The Wife" how and the heck do you get away with this? Don't answer that, just hug her and give her some flowers if ya have a bunch of gear, she deserves that. I gutta work on this.<br /> Thanks guys. |

Not gigging anywhere, just playing and recording at home. I picked up an Acoustic AG30 at GC on sale for $149 and like it a lot. Tried out all the acoustic amps they had and really like the way this one sounds. Perfect for my needs.<br /> <br /> |
| Frank Hudson USA Tone is stuck on my fingers |
I've got a Fishman under-saddle my Guild 12 string and something passive in my Seagull Folk (was there when I bought it and have no idea what it is other than seeing no battery).<br /> <br /> Mostly recording these days, and my signal path is air to mic and that last couple times I performed, the same: air to mic. I've been thinking about buying Monster Air to improve my signal path, but I can't decide if I want he Blues Air or the Folk Air, as I'm sure they'll give me different tone (grin).<br /> <br /> Seriously if I played with an electric band I'd need to work this out, but for a guy who plays solo and sits when he plays, the mic works for me.<br /> <br /> I have one accoustic I plug in (old Cort 12 string with DeArmond soundhole pickup) but I consider that a hollowbody electric frankly. I plug it in to whatever I'm playing electric through.<br /> <br /> |

This is why I bought my Yamaha AC3M. With the great onboard preamp, I just go: <br /> <br /> Guitar-cord-Amp or <br /> Guitar-cord-DI-PA<br /> <br /> Real happy with the results. |
