Re: Acoustic Amplifier
I doubt the Katana has a full treble frequency response. It doesn't have a tweeter, just a 12inch speaker.

Re: Acoustic Amplifier
Keyboard amps can be a good option, but I had a Roland Keyboard amp (one of the old cube ones) and my acoustic (with a preamp) always felt like it was too 'hot' for it. Some kind of almost-clipping going on.
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

Have to back of the treble a bit as it has sibilance that is noticeable.bbrunskill wrote:I doubt the Katana has a full treble frequency response. It doesn't have a tweeter, just a 12inch speaker.
Run Takamine > BodyRez > Katana.
12 is rather nice and the six comes out sounding like it did from Acoustasonic - bodyrez filtering helps.

Re: Acoustic Amplifier
I suspect that's the 'acoustic' model chucking a lot of treble at a speaker that it physically can't reproduce.vintage52 wrote:Have to back of the treble a bit as it has sibilance that is noticeable.bbrunskill wrote:I doubt the Katana has a full treble frequency response.

Re: Acoustic Amplifier
I have tried all sorts over the years for piezo and soundhole pkups and to be fair still looking.
Fishman pre-amps, G and Aura
Boss acoustic sim pedal
Various other pedals using straight preamps and compressors
I have a ZT Lunchbox which I got for the occasional acoustic song during a gig. It's very small and only has a 5" speaker, so the sound is quite confined and boxy, but volume wise can hold its own in an electric band for a small venue. The lunchbox has some compression built in and with an extension speaker or DI'd to a PA is great. Lately I have moved to using a LR Baggs parametric DI. I connect this straight to my Keyboard amp , which is DI'd to the PA., although the baggs DI has a DI connection too. Reasonably happy with the baggs currently although this all starts with decent pkups imho.

Re: Acoustic Amplifier
My acoustic is an Epiphone EJ200E, a budget guitar, but has stereo pickups. A piezo under the bridge & a magnetic one at the end of the finger board. Sometimes I blend the two together, but it sounds best with the magnetic pickup only and I play it through my SWR California Blonde amp which has a switchable tweeter. The California Blande is an amazing amp - I also use it as my Bass amp.
Epiphone Riviera P93 & EJ200CE, Hagstrom Viking Bass, Doubleneck bass/guitar.
Rivera Clubster 45, Carvin AG100D, Ashton BSK158.

Re: Acoustic Amplifier
I saw you had one of those. Impressive wee beastie by the sounds of it. What do they cost?Conway wrote:I've got one of these, very good for acoustic and vocals:
