Putting a mic on an acoustic will certainly preserve the tone, but such a solution is only workable in limited circumstances. I don't recommend putting the acoustic through a guitar amp--especially one designed for electrics, as they will alter the tone. An amp specifically designed for acoustics may work well, but most people run acoustics directly into the PA.

Try the Radial--awesome!

I'm not sure if that's completely true, but I love the full sound a bass amp gives to my AF60CK.

They are $159 retail and you can get them for as little as $100 used on ebay]]> Live Sound Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/acoustic-guitar-question-3/#post-260427 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/acoustic-guitar-question-3/#post-260420 Mon, 20 Aug 2007 14:55:58 +0000

In the days when said ace had hair there wasn't much choice but to use a mike. For a really accurate acoustic sound you can't beat one but to get very y close try an LR Baggs iBeam or even a Fishman Rare Earth soundhole - the latter will certainly save feedback problems - I've used one live for years and always get compliments on the sound - straight into a PA without any need for EQ.

To fatten a sound I mix in a little bit of flange - delicately done you get halfway to a 12 string sound for strumming.

Good luck]]> Live Sound Raystrack https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/acoustic-guitar-question-3/#post-260420 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/acoustic-guitar-question-3/#post-244891 Tue, 29 May 2007 22:43:02 +0000 Live Sound douglasa https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/acoustic-guitar-question-3/#post-244891 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/acoustic-guitar-question-3/#post-244696 Mon, 28 May 2007 21:46:52 +0000

What kind of PA are you running through? Are you using a monitor on stage? It can be very hard to hear yourself in the house system if you're standing behind it.]]> Live Sound slejhamer https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/acoustic-guitar-question-3/#post-244454
