Fishman Aura VT Enhance AND Aura Spectrum DI
Has anybody tried playing a guitar with the Fishman Aura VT Enhance pickup into an Aura Spectrum DI?
I’ve tried playing my Martin HD-28e with the Aura VT pickup into an Aura Spectrum and was never really happy with the sound compared to if the guitar was plugged in directly. Maybe I’m doing something wrong. |

Yes, I tried that for fun. The HD-28E has an Aura image for that specific guitar applied at about 30%-40% image. Attempting to reprocess that with more image, or a different image, is unlikely to produce good results. The guitar is meant to have the most plug and play system that Fishman developed to date. They don't expect you to further process it except for basic effects like reverb, etc. to taste.

OK, but why? You are adding Aura to Aura. Don't think you will get good results and it will probably sound weird or over processed. Possibly it may sound good with very little being done by the DI box.

Oversimplifying, imagine you want a value of "11". If you start with the number 1 and add 10 to it, you will get an expected result of 11. If you add the same fixed value of 10, but start with 5, you won't get the desired result of 11, you will get 15. Digital processes are not the same as analog processes. Now, you might still end up with something that sounds interesting. But, it won't sound like that guitar through a microphone. It will sound like a digital mess. :-)

Unless you can get a pure piezo output from the VT, the DI will be adding an image on top of another image. There should only be one aura image used.
