If you don’t mind the Anthem SL, leave it in and try a few preamp DIs before going off on another route. What pre have you tried? Baggs Anthem into Plane Jane Baggs Venue DI is probably a good start. I have an old Fishman Pro EQ DI and that is good to cut a few zippy bits. BluesKing777. |

Generic IRs for acoustics rarely work well. That's the whole benefit of ToneDexter, as well as Soundscape and the NUX box. You create IRs for your specific guitar. The only times I've heard the Aura pedals sound good was with people who had sent their guitars into Fishman to have IRs made for the specific guitar. You'd think it'd be good enough if you have an IR for a similar model, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

As for myself, 90% of the time I use a Grace Alix, the other 10% A Felix!

That 2 channel Sunnaudio preamp keeps calling me until I see that price tag.

I'm using old technology, a Fishman ToneDEQ. And I use it with their Fishman Blackstack sound hole pickup. I've been using the Blackstack a couple years and prefer it to the Sunrise(s) I'd used for years.
What appeals to me about the ToneDEQ is the natural sound with it's analog circuits. Excellent reverb and it's a floor unit which I find easier to use on stage. |

Lr baggs Venue. And a strymon blue sky for reverb. Couldn´t ask for more. Well maybe a good tuner because the one on the venue sucks..

Playing various stringed instruments on stage I use various preamps (see below). Most use on guitars get the Grace Felix and SunnAudio MS-2. But to be honest, I do not EQ my Dazzo and UltraTonic installed guitars. Needed EQ with K&K PUs.

I use an LR Baggs GigPro. Sound is amazing although I dont love the belt clip format.

The Baggs VENUE has become an indispensable piece of gear for me.

I agree that it doesn't sound terrible as far as sounds go, but it does not sound like an acoustic guitar in its natural state. At least to my ears it doesn't. |

Just wanted to return to this thread and say that the Grace Design Bix arrived yesterday, and it is impressive. Very clean, and really doesn't take any tweaking to get what i am after.
My only regret is that I didn't do more research before buying and installing the Baggs Anthem SL. Not that it doesn't sound very good, but I feel I could do better for this particular guitar. Still looking and learning to find the perfect match. I will just put the Anthem into something else when I do make a choice. Very pleased with the Bix. Sounds great for guitar, and will be useful for other instruments that I play. The Felix and Alix look great as well, but I told myself that I am keeping my board small, and simple. (Wont be the first time that Ive lied to myself about music gear! I will probably get a Felix before it is over with. lol) Thanks to all that replied, and gave info. |
