My hunch is that going with mic 2, eq dials at 12 (bass), 1 (mids), and 11 (highs), resonance at 12, focus/wide on wide, your sound will improve (assuming a flat mix on the mixer). My experience is that many seasoned sound guys think an acoustic guitar has to have scooped mids and have a sound in mind and make it impossible to make your excellent guitar sound good. If you do get a DI, the LR Baggs Paracoustic is excellent. I used one to get a good tone from my LL16M when I otherwise couldn't.

It seems you have a pretty sophisticated onboard preamp on your guitar and I would really try to learn it first (without your Boss Eq pedal) as each knob/button, etc...can have a profound effect on your sound.
Hook up directly to the house pa (assuming you're close enough---if you can't reach it with a 25ft cable then you'll need at least a passive DI box) and make sure all eq dials on the house pa for your guitar channel are set to flat. Start with your onboard guitar preamp eq dials at 12:00, anti-feedback and resonance off too (basically have everything flat---starting at neutral). Anti-feedback and resonance can be tone killers if you don't use them correctly. Figure out your piezo/mic blend setting (usually more piezo will allow you to cut thru the mix better). Also figure out the wide/focus setting. Then you can try adjusting your eq (I usually lower my bass when playing in a group) as well as YamahaGuy's suggestions. This should work. Then you could try adding a little reverb, chorus, etc...to sweeten your sound! Good luck! |
