Hi all,
We rarely play an acoustic song in our band, so I don't find it usefull at all to bring an extra acoustic guitar (lazy 8))
So I thought, why not Tone Match my acoustic guitar. But then I thought, why not first look for an excellent review on Youtube of a great acoustic.
Then I found this wonderfull how-does-it sound samples of all different good acoustic guitars like Taylor, Gibson, Martin, Seagull, Takamine, Guild,... . Best thing is they are all recorded in good quality with studio mics and all played with the same riffs, so that you can compare.
I took my electric guitar, set it on Neck single coil pickup and made a basic patch with a COMP - AMP (Tube Pre) - TONEMATCH - CHORUS - REVERB
I set the Axe-Fx II as soundcard and in the TMA I set the ref source to USB.
Then I played the Strumming (picking) riff around 1:10-1:30 and tone matched both (hit UP just before and ENTER after the riff)
That's all. Sounds great. Not exactly an acoustic guitar, but surely enough to leave my acoustic at home.
Great thing about the playlist is that I had them all tonematched in half an hour and now I have 19 acoustic guitars to choose from!
Link and patch below, but for best results, it's obvious that you should do the tonematching again with your own guitar. (neck single coil pickup)
