I've been considering an A5R or A5m for a while because I love the idea of the Srt2 mic modeling. As a preface I have a S&P woodland pro and a Cordoba Acero D9-ce. Both of which I love unplugged but sound completely underwhelming when I run them straight to a board. So long story short and I'm rather
emabarassed to admit that I'm just now considering this. Am I better off to just buy a good acoustic preamp and effects pedal or is the Srt2 as amazing as I've convinced myself? I've been considering a baggs venue or a boss ve-8. I really do love the sounds I get from the Cordoba and Simon and Patrick. But I'd love to have an onoard preamp that negates the need for gratuitous pedals
