problem is when the other guys go into the PA desk i am at 1/10th of the volume/gain they are so i have to get turned right up on the slider and this causes buzz

Check out some of these:

Too bad your mixing desk doesn't have hi/loZ buttons like some of them do - for hi impedance/low impedance switchability.

I think there's also hiZ-loZ cable/adapters:

i was using a tube amp which i thought was the problem

i am getting to borrow a friend acoustic amp to see if that improves the sound.

Mic'ing the guitar is not really an option as i do move around a fair bit when giging.

the other thing i a m going to try is the Aphex acoustic exciter (demo available here Aphex website)

Another idea would be to get a different pickup installed, or an active pickup.]]> Guitar Players Discussion ssstrat11s https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/ovation-electroacoustic-gain-problem/#post-86254 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/ovation-electroacoustic-gain-problem/#post-6553 Sat, 22 Jan 2005 21:44:18 +0000
The problem lies in that it only has a passive pickup installed. When playing with the band my guitar has to be truned up WAY high on the desk to register and causes a speaker buzz because of this.

Is there anyway i can pre-amp outside the gutar to acheive a better sound amp'd ?

any advice appreciated
