    Acoustic Guitar

    I have a Yamaha A3R. Sounds and plays good and would seem to check a lot of your boxes. Solid Rosewood back and sides. It's tone is warm and balanced, closer to Martin than Taylor. Great on board electronics. Rated as one of best under $1k.

    Axe FX II - Connections setting for Front of House and FRFR on stage

    Confirm for me that this will work

    I would use Out 1 AND Out 2. That way you have independent stage and FOH volume. Just make sure under I/O settings you have set Output 2 to "Echo Out1". Then your are good to go. But in this scenario you would need a 1/4" TSR to male XLR for Output 2 that would go to FOH or the CLR. For...
