Equalizer pedal for K&K pure classic + LR Baggs Session DI
Hello to the whole community, I own a nyon string acoustic guitar with the K&K sound pure classic pickup, I connect it directly to my LR Baggs Session DI, but I have problems with the bass due to the impedance problem, my question is, which pedal equalizer helps me to connect before reaching my Baggs?
I was looking at the Boss G7 pedal, due to its 1M ohm impedance input and 1K ohm output, would it work for me? Another option I'm looking at is K&K sound pure preamp, but it doesn't have as many EQ settings like the boss does, but it does meet the impedance issue. Are there more options? I already appreciate your comments. |

Check out the MXR 10-band. Also, you could always upgrade to the Baggs Venue DI and run any eq pedal, reverb, etc. in the FX loop.

You should not have an impedance problem - that's one of the things the Baggs Session DI does.
It looks like the input impedance is 10 meg ohms. Plenty for a K+K.

As long as the MXR has 1 meg ohm impedance, you should be fine.

Source audio EQ2, it is another equalizer that I can think of, it is digital.

I bought the Boss GE-7 pedal for the 1M ohm input impedance, in addition to having the LR Baggs Session DI.
I did various tests, first I tried the direct guitar with an amplifier. Then I added the Boss and I noticed an immediate difference, the more crystalline highs appeared, a more linear sound and there was no bass boost, add that the equalization was flat. Then I tested the guitar with just the Session DI, and since it has a 10M ohm input impedance, that bass boost came back. Finally, I put the Boss pedal with a very slight equalization, subtly adding the treble sector and slightly removing the mids, the rest I left flat and the master volume in the center, without adding or removing volume, then I added the Session DI, getting a good input gain, the harmonic saturation knob I left it at 50% and I put the bass cutter at 80hz, the output volume I left it at approx 40%, I had an incredible tone, very acoustic and very crystalline, The Session DI does a wonderful job with the saturator, the multiband compressor doesn't work for me because I use a guitar with nylon strings, surely steel strings will do better. The same setup I tried on my home studio system, and I noticed some background noise from the Boss GE-7 pedal as I turned on highs. That has been my first experiences with this new configuration for me and I share them with you. |
