    Amplifying acoustic guitars is a problem area for literally anyone who plays live with the ol’ flattop. Dan and I both do our fair share of acoustic gigs so we thought we’d start looking at some basics, many of which we covered in Part 1.
    In this episode we extend our look at some floor-based devices to help enhance your plugged-in sound, alongside some more general tips, ideas and discussion around the whole subject. We chose the LR Baggs Align Series pedals because they’re new, and the T-Rex SoulMate Acoustic because it’s what Dan uses live. So without further ado…

      Agreed. So many options. I watched one vid where a guy used a Nux Optima Air and just replaced the piezo pickup sound with an IR of a great sounding acoustic. Rather spiffy sounding. I have been interested in that pedal ever since.

      It’s a simple answer: there is absolutely NOWHERE to hide playing acoustic!! And as Mick shows..., not everyone needs to hide behind loudness and effects!!! Just my 2 cents though. I could be wrong but I would bet the negatives all come from loud distorted rock bands

    I was describing the effect of a good compressor pedal for a folkie friend - she usually just has a tuner between acoustic pickups and amp. I said it helps with those sorts of mistakes - hitting a note too hard or soft. She latched onto that, saying "Can I get a compressor pedal for my life?"

    So the LR Baggs Session is the MVP (most valuable pedal) in either of these two parts at least for me. That thing just makes every tone better and it's super impressive.

I've always been an "electric" guy, but this little machine has allowed me to trick everyone into thinking I'm efficient on the acoustic guitar lol. Great job guys and cheers from northern Canada!!

    I’m in s Folk rock band and do sound for a lot for acoustic acts. The rule of thumb we have always used is to find the “quack” frequency and dip it slightly. I will always recommend a Fisherman Aura Spectrum DI. It has the best natural sound simulation I’ve ever heard and is becoming an industry standard.

    • @kirk.benedict-music
      @kirk.benedict-music 5 років тому +2

      I’ve got one too. Getting great results in my 6 piece band and solo or duo shows. I’ve got a Larivee L03 with a simple piezo so this is the minimum I would need on stage for consistently good tone wherever we are. Delay and boost would be a nice to have

    Great stuff! This is so necessary as a lot of us do spend time play acoustic gigs in rowdy bars! I use the tangle wood T6 acoustic amp which is basically the AER 60 but cheaper and with less headroom. Can get you heard in smaller pubs and for the bigger/super rowdy stuff it has an XLR out too.

    I would love another acoustic rig show where you go crazy with the pedal board. I'm playing a '99 Larrivee DV05E into any AER Compact 60 for about 10 years now. My signal chain is guitar > tuner > Clyde Deluxe > SP Compressor > FT MDV3 > Plimsoul > CH1 > TR2 > DD6 > MXR Carbon Copy > TCE Spark Mini Boost > AER (powered w a Truetone CS12 with the Plim, Spark, MDV3, and Compressor all at 18V). Recently (accidentally) won another Plimsoul on eBay and actually may run it with the other back to back to create a boosted low gain/high gain OD option. Would love to hear your thoughts. Maybe pitch the Plims and get the Tumnus! Love your show...more, More, MORE!!!
    Oh, and I do just play the guitar mic'd as well because it has such a great natural tone. All that gear is for my 5 pc band w 3 guitar front.

    The BAGGS PARA is the most brilliant box I have ever used for ALL guitars
    that came through my door when I ran an open mic. From the shittiest Seymore
    Duncan or even vintage Lawrence (stick in the hole pickups).....the Baggs Para is a GAME CHANGER. Truly. This thing can make ANY acoustic guitar (with any pickup) sound like a diamond.

    I know you’re not “That PA Show” or “That Recording Show,” but I would love to hear and see your take on how to EQ different things (acoustic and electric guitars, on a soundboard and on an amp). Y’all are wonderful educators and are very knowledgeable, but is turning a bunch of EQ knobs really as intuitive as you make it look? It’s still a mystery to me.

    • @johnsawyer6145
      @johnsawyer6145 5 років тому +1

      Great! Add it to your long list of program ideas and keep up the great work! By the way, I play a Mesa Stiletto Ace - an amp with an EQ so adjustable that your UA-cam colleague, Johann Segeborn, said it was easy to make the amp sound bad (if you don’t know what you’re doing - EQ-wise). It took me years to get a sound I liked, which only happened after watching many episodes of That Pedal Show and making a connection between my brain (various tidbits of information from you), my eyes (looking at the knobs), and my ears (the sound of the amp). I wish your show had been around when I was starting on this guitar journey so long ago. :)

    Hi Mick and Dan! Thanks so much for part 2! I, too, have been doing tons of acoustic gigs and have really enjoyed these videos.

    • @TheDarinAmes
      @TheDarinAmes 5 років тому

      Hey Dan! Great to hear from you! The AER is awesome. You'll love it. I'm also using the LR Baggs Comp/Saturation pedal as well as the Venue DI and the Session EQ. They really add life to your tone. I've been dealing with Joe at TheGigRig and just picked up 1 x Basepack 2, 4 x Isolator, 1 x TimeLord , 1 x SupaNova and 1 x Doubler for my board. I'd love to get a G2 and the 3 "big Strymon"pedals, but money is tight so I'm using a Line 6 HX Effects as the center piece (someday for the G2!). It sounds really good with with my Martin 000-42 with the Baggs Anthem and the Baggs pedals play very nicely with it.
      Thanks again for all your fabulous videos! Cheers!

  • @patricklundquist9869
    @patricklundquist9869 2 роки тому +2

    I had a Mesa Rosette. Had. It sounded boxy, just like yours. As an experiment I bypassed the speakers and ran to my fender acoustasonic ultralight cab and the tone improved immensely so the problem was in the speaker section, not the head. The AER sounds so much nicer. It would have been nice to run both setups through the AER. The Soulmate is a nice unit. I have one. The looper buttons are poorly located where you can, and will, accidentally step on the boost and tap switches. Switch toppers help a bit.

    You nailed it....when Mick just played into the amp (no pedals) by saying that is a good sound. Meaning....good guitar, decent pickup, decent amp.....that is all you need. The pedals (and i own the earlier versions of the LRBagg's pedals (no reverb)) are just fine tuning. The most useful, giving the biggest bang for the buck, is the LRBaggs EQ....

    I love you guys! Isaw these 2 shows when they came out, and wondered if you had ever tried a Fishman Aura Spectrum. It has a tuner, volume, EQ, compressor, and 3-notch feedback suppressor with its own foot switch. But wait, there's more! 1/4" mono input and output with input trim control and balanced XLR D.I. Eleven acoustic guitar models and a user defined model and a blend control. Never a quack or even a peep. My RainSong is pretty bright, but I can get a good balanced tone with the Aura and it has never failed.

    absolutely brill guys, being at the mercy of the PA/ sound "expert" down the local open mic night is always something to look forward to. Obviously the built in electronics on your chosen guitar plays a massive part, I'm currently trying to find some love for the Taylor expression system 2 on my 510e, guitar plays lovely but plugged in I cant get rid of that digital/processed/modelled kind of tone. Its doing my head in, think I'm going to try one of those LR Baggs session pedals, they sound the business. I'm also using a fishman loudbox mini, but because I'm not impressed with the expression system, I cant judge if I like the amp or not. Yep, still down that hole after umpteen gear/guitar changes. Your two acoustic vids have been a big help. Many thanks

    Thanks for these acoustic series of shows, very good information and discussion, greatly appreciated. I took a keen notice when you were discussing the LR Baggs Session and Equalizer pedals, they sound impressive for sure. I think I already have those area covered with a Keeley Compressor Pro, Empress Para EQ and a Strymon DECO (for saturation) and a Strymon Sunset if a little extra gain is needed. Would you think that would provide all of what the LR Baggs Session and Equalizer are doing or am I missing something? Thanks again.

    Great show as always gentlemen.
    Most eq that we would use are reductive anyway, especially amp eq. So we generally only cut anyway. Which is why I get so frustrated when people say "set it to 12 n go from there. Also when u learn about amp manufacturer and the pots and how it all actually works. I set my amp eq to max and then cut the from there. As proven on the one amp one pedal show with mics two rock.

      I’m going to get one - Mick here. Lots of people talking about. It sounds similar to the Baggs Session in theory.

  • @nicklearnstomove
    @nicklearnstomove 5 років тому +1

    hey mick, if im not mistaken for the Anthem, even if you roll in all the microphone, the low end frequencies are still taken from the undersaddle (a range that microphones typically struggle to pick up), so u get the best of both worlds!
    amazing stuff once again. im an acoustic player thats been getting into electric recently; seeing that same inquisitiveness and enthusiasm for acoustic is really nice :)

  • @chedhead3278
    @chedhead3278 5 років тому +1

    Cheers guys, useful stuff, thoughts: LR Baggs anthem sounds great, effects need blend and EQ for me, anyone distorting my bass end is asking for a slap. Mike Dawes' setup is mind boggling, kind of matching his playing :)

  • @andrewcerecedes4757
    @andrewcerecedes4757 5 років тому +5

    I feel that you should do another show like this but for nylon stringed guitars. That's a different ball game in terms of sounds and playing.

    • @MrMd5555

      They may as well do one on banjos, nylon string guitars are probably just as foreign to them

  • @mrdanjames
    @mrdanjames 5 років тому

    Great show guys. The EQ is a very powerful tool, I use it more like a boost tool for fingerpicking in a live setting. That way I can keep my picking lighter and play with more expression.

    • @ThatPedalShow

  • @joequintana5546
    @joequintana5546 3 роки тому +2

    You both seem to like your acoustic sound to be kind of dark. It sounds great. For some unknown reason I find myself trying to get sparkle out of my EQ. Presence. I'm also one of those guys who happen to love the sound of a fresh set of strings. I love the sound of finger squeaking and a bit of fret rattle caused by Lower than normal action. This video you guys made has inspired me to try a different EQ. Less brightness and sparkle and more low end and darker colors. Or maybe it's just the sound I perceive through these headphones.

  • @erniestrings

    Really enjoyed this show. Definitely a topic that doesn’t get enough love. One other option I wish you would cover is using acoustic guitar impulse responses to model the dynamic of a mic’d acoustic. I’ve had great results and would love to see how it stacks up or blends with the options you covered.

  • @nigelbarnes818

    Given the fact that Dan and Mick are playing top-drawer guitars, with top-drawer pickup and preamp systems, the Session sounds fantastic! I would be interested to hear it with a mid-priced electro-acoustic. For those of us mere mortals with average guitars and pickups, I would recommend checking out the Zoom AC-2 Acoustic Creator Multi-Effects Pedal. It's a modelling system that does an excellent job of eliminating that piezo sound. It's roughly the same price as the Session, and has reverb and a boost. There's a great video by Bruno from GLB Productions that demonstrates it in a very unbiased way, and his review is very detailed. I know I'm late to the party on this one, but for anyone coming to this late, food for thought.

    OK, you've changed my guitar trajectory yet again! I am forever grateful. Now I'm looking for a solution for when I'm playing the church gig acoustically. Since my church board sports a modeler (Ampli-Firebox) plus a good assortment of pedals (and fits on a PedalTrain nano), I'm thinking about trying some acoustic guitar impulse responses. Specifically, I'm looking at 3 Sigma IRs. Have you guys played with any of those? I'd love to know your thinking on such.

  • @guitarfreak585

    Dan, try a Mudhoney on your acoustic sometime. :) I use mine to solo, gain at noon, boost button IN. It's fantastic.

    These were super helpful videos. I have a nylon string guitar with a simple piezo and a Fender Mustang GTX 50. The Mustang has a decent “Nylon” preset, but I dropped a dialled down overdrive model pedal in the “pre” section and it sounds ever so much better.

    I've missed Mick's acoustic playing. The sound through those LR Baggs pedals was massive.

  • @benbutterworth7584
    @benbutterworth7584 5 років тому

    Fishman Aura pedals are definitely worth checking out. Blended into the original signal I was amazed how they open up the sound, giving the sound more of a natural air.

    • @ThatPedalShow

  • @mattofthemountain
    @mattofthemountain 5 років тому +2

    I'm 100% with Mick - I avoid too much low end myself, especially in guitar amps. Even when I'm playing bass, a lot of sub bass just sounds bad to me.

  • @dinadams

    If you do the “crazy acoustic” show can we get some love and respect for Ben Howard, the man pushes the boundaries of using effects with acoustic and production techniques and his new album is a masterpiece. Doesn’t get enough credit when it comes to his playing in my book.

    I love this pair of shows, many important issues discussed that I needed to be reminded of. I like to play both acoustic and electric and want to develop a pedalboard that supports both using my TheGigRig G3 and Schmidt Array 450 EDM as a base. I would love your thoughts about how achieve this? I'm mostly a fingerstyle rhythm player, with a nod to Bert Jansch. So, obviously reverbs and delays are more interesting to me than distortion and overdrive, but I do like a bit of boost once in a while. What I have in mind is a wet/dry rig with two electric amps and two acoustic amps. However, it occurs to me that it might be possible to configure an acceptable three amp wet/dry/wet using the above four amps. What would you suggest?

    Another brilliant show! Thanks guys! If you guys ever need a good 5 piece rock covers band (2 guitars, bass, drummer and singer) for live setting explanations and information for the world, my band is called “One in ten” (Foo fighters lyrics) we play in the northwest of UK and we would be more than happy for you to use us 🤘😎🤘. Thanks again for a great show 😉
