I also have an A-Ref (which is supposed to have a wide dispersion...)
But LR Baggs is closer to you...

That's a little too far west for me, but if you want to borrow my sound level meter, let me know & I'll send mine out to you.

It didn't last long, but I liked the part where they weren't losing.
Thanks for putting those videos up, Marshall. It must've taken hours to get all 13 of them uploaded.

What you're calling "fuller" I thought sounded muddy. But that's a perception. In comparison, depending on your taste, the SA sounded either fuller or muddier, while the BA sounded clearer or thinner.

Thinner to me, means less depth (probably not the right definition), and clearer (to me) is great at low volume levels, but gets pretty harsh at higher levels, at which point you need to make it fuller (muddy it up) a little. Maybe I just don't know the proper terminology for describing sound... |

Your two terms go together: Fuller ................................ Thinner Just as mine go together: Muddier ............................. Clearer What you're hearing as "fuller", I'm hearing as "muddier". And what you're hearing as "thinner", I'm hearing as "clearer". There's no right and wrong, it's just a matter of perception, opinion and taste. For you personally, the SA would be the amp to get. For me, the BA is the right amp. Some people like Martins. I think they sound muddy. Martin fans tend to think Taylors sound thin. I think Taylors have a clearer sound. Nobody's right or wrong, unless they don't buy the guitar that suits their taste.

Bobby, you picked up on some of the relative tone differences between these amps. The videos are useful in hearing some of the differences between the amps.
I think it's also worth noting that all three of them sounded better in person than they do in the videos. They seemed to have more life, or magic, or mojo or something than what I hear in the videos.

Having used everything in your signal chain except the TC VoiceTone Active Monitor and the "Feedback Destroyer"--what is this thing anyway?--maybe I can help you out with your feedback problems. First of all, what pickup do you have in your Gibson J-45? I had a J-45 Honeyburst Koa Custom with the L.R. Baggs Element Active factory-installed (this is the system with the one little Volume-wheel control in the underside perimeter of the soundhole). I would run the J-45 directly through a Fishman Aura Dreadnought Pedal, and using one of several good-sounding Aura Images, and with all EQ on the SoloAmp set FLAT, I got one of the best amplified acoustic-guitar tones ever. Please restate your Fishman Platinum EQ's Bass, Mid-range and Treble tone settings for your guitar. I had trouble understanding what you posted--did you boost or cut your Gibson J-45's Bass by 12 dB? I didn't get any feedback when activating my Harmony G's harmony button when playing through my Fishman SoloAmp or my Mackie SRM450 speakers. I don't get any feedback either with my new TC Helicon VoiceLive 2 or my older VoiceLive. The same with my DigiTech VL-4. With everything setup with proper gain levels, when you activate the harmony button on the Harmony G pedal, you should hear the harmony come in without any increase in volume. I always set my harmony volume to be a bit less and certainly no more than the melody vocal volume. A word about feedback fighters, whether resident onboard a guitar's preamp, pedal-based, or amp-based, although these circuits can and do work, they also alter the tone of your amplified sound and should only be used as the last choice in quelling a problem room frequency. Also, get your system to sound good to you without any monitor turned on, and then bring up your monitor volume only loud enough so can can hear your performance and not have the monitor contribute to any feedback potential in your system's overall mix. Thanks and I'll be looking for your reply with the additional information I requested. Regards, SpruceTop
