Wow that end Finish sound, the 8 days a week, sounds gorgeous, even earlier once the reverb and then delay really helped wake the sound up gave it a richness.
This really is incredible. First time I've ever got my acoustic to sound decent via the pickup. I always hated the sound of a semi acoustic, but these tips made it sound really natural. Thanks. You just made my day.
Excellent video man! So useful. I just got invited to a new band and they want to do a Melisa Ethridge tune where the acoustic and electric combo would be perfect.
Hello Matt, I have some decent patches I borrowed and edited from the AX8 moving on now to the FM9 (Marco Fanton has a really good acoustic IR that I really like)...they sound good with my Taylor 6 and 12 strings. I will try and duplicate what you did here and give it a shot-your acoustic sounds nice and your playing is very enjoyable. Being able to gig on one preset with both an acoustic and electric is a very ecomomical way to go. Excellent video as always.
you should try tonematching your piezos to a good recording of an acoustic. record yours if you have a nice mic or find a great sounding demo on youtube. you can export the tonematch as a cab ir and then load it into your fm3. i've tried tons of different ways and tonematching is definitely the best way to do it.
Hi, good stuff on the parallel reverb/delay and putting the compressor AFTER the cab. Also, I like the use of the PEQ to centralise the tone shaping (low/hi cut). This can also be done in the CAB, but it's a bit hidden. The PEQ can also introduce the narrow tunable filter for feedback busting. If CPU is a problem (I run an electric at the same time on my FM9, with scenes. The acoustic just gets a stomp mode on a set of breakout switches) the preamp can be set on the CAB which means you can drop the AMP block. Btw: I have written a utility to compute IR's for acoustic guitars, based on a 90 s or so of simultanuous performance (one in DI, one with your microphone of choice). If interested, let me know and I'll compute them for you. I only want to know what you think of the result!
I’ve been wanting to make a good acoustic patch. Thanks for this demo. It sounded really good. Being able to surgically EQ an acoustic really makes a difference.
I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong. I tried out the cabs from WT but the just drop down in level a lot and just do not sound good. Going straight in sounds more Hi-Def
By nature, they will drop the level quite a bit. Are you already using an active acoustic preamp? Maybe one with a mic like an L.R. Baggs Lyric? If so, I would not use an acoustic IR. This demo is really only for passive, piezo elements.
Hi, I downloaded the worship acoustic IRs, but is this compatible with my FM9, it seems to not be able to drag and drop into the manage cabs browser window. It just shows a circle with a line through it when I try.

Glad you like it!
Fabulous playing as always Matt.
Thank you!
Nice to see you play guitar. Hope you have a great day.

I'll try this!
This is really great. Very nice sound.

Sounds interesting! Message me on my website mathewdale.com

Nice playing. It sounds to me like the acoustic signal was distorting when you were strumming hard : /
I think it was actually my capture software rather than the guitar settings.

Yes they are compatible with FM9 (I have them loaded on mine). Make sure you are using the 48k 500ms files.
Does it matter if my pick up is an anthem lr baggs?
Where I can find those irs for holy grail cab?
What's that song? It's very familiar!
At which part? Timestamp?
@@mathew_dale I think he means the song you play at 14:10 (I'm familiar with it too but can't remember the name either 😅)
Ah! It’s an arrangement of Stop This Train by John Mayer.
