    Hi Pauly. Another Aussie here. I have a Maton Messiah. I have tried Cooper Carter's acoustic preset and it works brilliantly.

    Any recommendations for Acoustic Steel String presets?

    Cooper Carter has a video on that. He did it originally for G66. I believe you will find the video on his Utube channel. Sorry, don’t have time to do a search myself. It’s very good and I don’t think you’ll see a better setup for acoustic guitar with steel strings.

    FM3 YA M65 Creambacks + Divided by 13 FT37

    Not sure why I didn’t think of that. However, get a listen to Cowboy Junkies song Crescent Moon on their Pale Sun Crescent Moon album. Tone is very similar. What pickups were you using for the audio clip and would it be possible for you to post the preset either in the post or AxChange?

    Been using D'addario XT 9-42 on Strat and Tele with the Fender type amps and getting an ice picky ringing harmonic (artifact) on top E string. I realise these type of amps can get that way but how do you reduce that using the III? Does string size make a difference? Any suggestions appreciated.
