i have an acoustic 12 string which i use my axe fx for (it is a yamaha FGsomethingorother) and it's fitted with an LR Baggs Micro EQ Preamp and an under saddle pickup. i have found heaps of the acoustic IRs that have been posted from the Mama Bear Acoustic preamp and others. i thought i'd be easily able to improve my tone by simply uploading these and trying them out and finding something i like. i have found that of the 50 or more that have been posted alomost all of them sound incredibly tinny, boxy and, well for a lack of a better word, shite. having said that i have found only one that was ok after some parametric EQ. but i would like to have a bit more variety and to try different sounds.
Question is: am i doing something wrong for all these IRs to sound so consistently crap?
PS: in case it makes any difference: the Micro EQ only has 3 knobs, Vol, Treble and Bass. i have them all set to full.
