K&K with Play Acoustic - Page 3

Hi. I ordered the PA and have it now. I'm asking myself if I'd have been better with the Voicelive3 (or maybe even the G XT) It might just be nervous buyer syndrome mind you. Any thoughts? My primary need is for vocals especially harmony though I guess the Body Rez is useful so .....

Thanks. Seems like on balance I should stick with the PA

When I first got the Play Acoustic I thought it was so complicated it was like flying a plane. But once you get used to it and how the menus work, it becomes fairly intuitive. But at first I was all thumbs.

Getting around the menus is pretty easy after the first couple of hours. What isn't particularly easy is figuring out how to get the best out of the parametric EQ and the other EQ settings. You sort of have to know which frequencies to tweak and let's face it, knobs are easier for experimentation. In other words, it's not a great unit for learning how to EQ acoustic guitars, but if you already know about that, it's the most cost-efffective way to get excellent sound for guitar and vocal. And a lot of solutions which are somewhat easier to tweak EQ on may not have total recall ... so they're not necessarily overall better.

Thank you folks. I welcome any tips on tweaking EQ for K&K pickups with the PA

Thanks again. I had read one of them but not the other. I'd be happy to take on board suggestions anyone else might have too.
