How to deal with boomy notes which cause clipping in amp?
So my G note gets pretty boomy because of the guitar's main air resonance.
I noticed that while playing outside today, that note can spike up the volume/frequency which then causes clipping in my amp. I was wondering if any of you are familiar with this issue? Is there a way to control the offending note's frequency, So that it doesnt stand out and clip my signal? |

Let's first find out why, then we can work on the how. To answer your question, some EQs are capable of "pulling out" a note out of the signal, so it can be done. I suspect your pickup is not evenly balanced across the strings... |

But also the G note on the 4th (D) string on the (5th fret). The boominess is there also when I am unplugged. It's just a guitar resonance thing I guess, which gets amplified when amplified hehe |
That's what soundhole plugs are designed for.

The boomy note was A before I put on this cover. Now it's G hehe |

I should try and cover that too, however I am afraid it will kill the tone. |

What needs to be checked there? |

How close is the amp placed near you and is it in front of you, to the side, or behind? Set fairly high in volume?
Have you tried some distance between you and the amp? |
