Default Anyone try a Fishman Aura 16 pedal with a Carbon fiber guitar?

Not sure best forum to post this but thought I'd start here.
I have a CA Legacy with a Fishman Prefix Plus T undersaddle pick up. I was thinking of using a Fishman Aura 16 pedal before my Bose L1 compact. My question is, since the Aura images are all for wood guitars, and will this work with a Carbon fiber guitar?

I did a few years ago on a few CF guitars... got some nice matches ... can't remember which ones though.

There are a few images for carbon fiber guitars. I found it helpful for my Rainsong a Shorty w the Fishman pickup.

I used one with my Rainsong when I owned it. There were very useful information mages for it. Sounded great.

At the risk of seeming to hijack the post, I would expand the question to include other 'image' based boxes - the Bose T1 mixer and Zoom A3 / AC-3 / AC-2 would seem to fall into this category too.
I see the Zoom boxes have a 'mold' body shape, assumed to be for Ovation? Anyone tried that with a CF guitar?
I have an older Yamaha AG Stomp unit but haven't (yet) found any settings there which sound promising.

The quest continues...

I had a RainSong DR1000 I pumped through an Aura Pedal with available downloaded Aura Images. It was OK but really didn't do a lot for me.

I called Fishman and lo and behold they do have 2 different Composite Acoustic Legacy images. I might give it a try.

I use a TC Helicon Play Acoustic (with BodyRez) in a Bose L1c with all my carbon fiber guitars - sounds good. You can adjust the amount of BodyRez you want to blend in.

The Play Acoustic is like the Harmony Singer with more guitar effects... and a looper... and other fun stuff. I have used a Gxt for 7 or 8 years and was always happy with it; the Play Acoustic gives you all the harmony stuff (and different reverbs), PLUS the guitar stuff. You can set it up so the guitar sound is global (works the same with any of the harmonies) or assign a name/number to it and change the guitar and the harmony characteristics with the footswitch.

Sounds like I should sell the harmony singer and replace with the play acoustic. Glad to hear it works well with Cf guitars.
