Members MikeEdge Posted April 22, 2008 Members Share Posted April 22, 2008 This is not a question dealing with acoustic guitars but I though you guys might help me, anyway. I'm using Godin xtSA 3-voice guitar with piezzo bridge/preamp (RMC). I wonder what is the best way to make it sound less "piezzo" and closer to faking an acoustic sound... I have little knowledge of new acoustic preamps and stuff like that. I can see Yamaha AG stomp might do the trick but it's discontinued (that one could be controlled via MIDI which is absolutely amazing). Thanks for your suggestions!

Members Crab_Cake Posted April 22, 2008 Members Share Posted April 22, 2008 I think you are kind of stuck. I mean the pickup will always sound the same. But you might try the boss 7 band eq pedal, and maybe a chorus pedal might help. A little bit of chorus can really fill out your sound. Boss also has a acoustic stompbox to make electric guitars sound like acoustics. It works very good at that so it might work for an acoustic as well. good luck.

Members min7b5 Posted April 22, 2008 Members Share Posted April 22, 2008 A piezo is tough to get sound natural-ish, and the RMC can be particularly harsh in my experience. On the other hand, many people like them for the even response and feedback rejection. I would consider getting some serious EQ, parametric is probably better, I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MikeEdge Posted April 22, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 22, 2008 Thanks for your comments so far! Have you heard what AG Stomp by Yamaha does to the piezzo sounds? Do you think that one could be useful? Crab cake: I don't want to turn the magnetic pickup sounds to acoustic-like - it's the piezzo signal I'm speaking about...
