HELP! Mcpherson 3.5 LR baggs RTS2 EQing
Hi Everyone,
I need some help from you. I have this guitar that sounds awesome unplugged! But when I plug in for praise and worship, the eq sound with the pickup system just doesn't sound very nice. I play in a worship band every sunday. I was told that this RTS2 system is able to closely reproduce the acoustic tonal quality of the unplug sound. Can someone with the expertise would be kind enough to give me a general template to start with on the frequencies to set to get a decent sound out of this nice guitar. I understand that ultimately I have to tune it to taste. But would really like something to start with because I am not very good meddling with the audio mixer. If you can be as specific as possible will be very helpful for me, like which frequency range to increase/decrease and to how much. My sound guys are just volunteers and don't have a lot of knowledge in this. My mixer board has these knobs 1) Low freq 2) Low mid freq - 80-1.9k Hz 3) High mid freq - 550-13k Hz 4) High freq Any help will be appreciated. Thanks alot Brian

I would try cutting about 4-6db at 500hz and about 2-4db at 1.5khz.
You could also boost about 1- 2db on the high freq and low freq knobs along with the freq cuts.

Your advice was very good. Tried it this morning and now my guitar sounds much nicer acoustically. How about for my Taylor 514ce? Is the setting the same if the wood combi is cedar/mahogany and ES system?
