TC Helicon Play Acoustic - Mic Stand Mount w Switch 6?
Hello friends,
I plan to buy a switch 3 to add easier looping controls. However, I am considering using a switch 6 on the floor to also recreate the units up/down/hit controls, and having the Play Acoustic closer to my hands, say with a mic stand tray or something. I figure this way I can tweak settings without bending over. Anyone tried this? Opinions? I'm guess I'm a bit concerned with stability and a mess of cables to tidy up. like this... https://www.gatorframeworks.com/prod...gfw-shelf0909/ |

I understand what you intend to do, but I think a stand for the Play Acoustic would be more solid than a tray connected to a mic stand.

https://on-stage.com/products/view/12029 It actually works great. I’ll share a pic. Edit: You were right to be weary of heft. I did have to try a few different configs to stabilize the stand and allow me to swing the boom and not lose everything. The tray itself is very solid.

Notably, I’ve only used it in this set up and my only pedal comparison is an old Yamaha Magicbox, which I didn’t like (cool effects an stuff though). I still use the ES2 and Loudbox EQs to scoop the mids. I will test out the 414 soon. It’s in El Cajon, CA getting ES2 upgrade. And, of course, it’s nice to have all the reverb, delay, chorus, etc in the same unit. You can program both presets and hit controls for everything, or just on/off with a Switch 3/6 if you have one. I don’t perform live so these are all just toys mostly. A few flange effects really are fun. Mostly, I prefer to set up 2 quality mics and record in every room in the home (homemade reverb dial in). I’m not a coffee shop star or a sound engineer. Looper is a fun way to practice scales and far easier to noodle with for songwriting, compared to dual mic recording. And you didn’t ask this, but the Play Acoustic does nothing for my voice. I still suck. I think my onboard pickups are shot

I’ve mostly used the Body Rez 1 preset with no modifications. I’ve messed with all of them a bit, but not a lot yet. I’ve only owned the Play Acoustic since I’ve been COVID-19 quarantined.
I’ve a Martin 000-17e on order from the factory (I live a few miles from Nazareth PA), so I’m eager to try a different guitar (mahogany body, spruce top, smaller body) and pick up (Fishman Matrix VT Enhanced - NT1). I’m wondering if different settings would appeal to me, or even if I like/dislike the Body Rez effect more overall.
