2. I felt I capture some fairly honest acoustic amp recordings from a live show I played through my Fishman Loudbox Performer. Not to hijack the thread, but I could not get a Rosette to deliver this kind of sound.

I picked up a Rosette about a month ago and am very happy with it. I use it for acoustic guitar, banjo, and even a little upright bass.
I think one adjustment coming from the few other acoustic amps I've owned, is that the Rosette is pretty mid heavy. I noticed mesa put out a "quick setup" video recently in which they advise cutting the mids substantially, and that seems to be good advice, especially for a lot of acoustic guitar pickups that already over-emphasize the midrange. That's probably what's causing the dobro-like sound. Here's a link to the video I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIKuJytv3cs It doesn't sound compressed to me, but I think it is definitely a bit of a different animal than many other acoustic amps, which tend to scoop out the midrange even with the EQ set flat. If I've got time I might sit down and do a recording, just for additional comparison. |

different acoustic amplification technology . The first step is always to dial out that midrange. All the overtones and quackyness are located here. This is what I am always trying to get rid of without Making it mud. The proverbial smiley face on a graphic eq. So why supply an amp with this complex range of adjustment only to have to almost compleatly turn it off to achieve a decent acoustic tone. I am no engineer ( no really I am no engineer)but It would seem someone could voice a speaker/s so if one wanted to ..the mudrange adjustment Could be used to add clarity.

Yes yes that is more "acoustic" than anything I have heard out of the rosette. Nice job too. And this amp is about 400 less than the rosette. Last edited by varmonter; 11-29-2017 at 09:10 AM. |

I've never been impressed with Mesa for the music I play and that would be triple for acoustic |

If you always have to address quack with every new acoustic amp ... why is your choice of pickup not suspicious as a potential cause of an impedance mismatch? |

deal with quack. As I use either the pure mini or a mag pup (sunrise or m80) I have a felix Preamp so input impedance is no issue. My point is that with most equipment that an acoustic guitar is plugged into the mids have to be dialed Back. You may boost bass or treble or maybe not But the mids are generally dialed back. You find The offending tone frequency and cut it below unity. |

I agree that's a nice acoustic tone.
It's a mellow acoustic tone and approach. I believe I already weighed in that the more you dig in, the more Rosette rewards you. I also mentioned not everyone likes to go there nor should they just cause I like to. That sound wouldn't work at all for the guy who played like 4 instruments on his couch through a Rosette I mentioned a few posts ago (maybe it was the other concurrent Rosette thread?) cause it would be a little too well-behaved. Different strokes for different folks. |

Here's a quick living room Demo of the Rosette, just picking and strumming the first thing that came to mind. I set my portable recorder about a foot in front of the amp, so it's recording the sound coming from the speakers, not the internal electronics. No reverb or effects, just as is.
I'll also post a photo that shows the settings I'm using, basically what's in the Mesa quick setup video, cutting the mids, but also cutting the treble, and I've got the tweeter set on -6db on the back. It's the bottom channel in the photo, the top is set for my upright. ...well I couldn't figure out how to get the photo to show up, but here's a link to it: https://photos.app.goo.gl/B6M1LqzPVEW5Cquw2 Last edited by jimmorgan; 12-01-2017 at 10:45 AM. |
