Acoustic Preset

[ChiroVette]

I need a good acoustic guitar preset, so I am probably going to purchase Marco Fanton's Acoustic Preset 2 for my FM9. I bought a bunch of his presets, and they are all very good. I'm trying to figure out what scenes to use with the internal pickup of my acoustic. I have a Martin GPC 11E, and it has an internal Fishman pickup system. His preset has scenes for mic'ing the guitar, which I won't use unless at the moment. But I cannot, for the life of me, figure out if stock internal pickups are considered Piezo or are they called something else? I have gone to multiple sites, but have no idea if I should use one of his Piezo scenes in the preset or something else? I want to say that the pickup in the guitar is an internal mic of some sort, so maybe I should use a mic scene?

Also, I'm not sure if this is written in stone, but the manual shows a setup with an electric guitar and an acoustic, and seems to say that the acoustic should go into Input 2, but I can't figure out if I can use Input 1 for acoustic and switch with my electric, or if the acoustic guitar input should be different than the one I am using for my electric.

Edit: I may be answering my own question, but here is a pic of the acoustic hole and the pickup. Is this considered a microphone? If so, should I be using one of his his microphone scenes?

looks like it's an under saddle system. likely piezo.

Whether your Fishman uses actual piezo pickups or not, you can consider them piezo for the purpose of this preset. Marco’s piezo scenes are intended for acoustic guitars with acoustic-style pickups, as opposed to magnetic pickups as you’d find on most solid-body guitars. So those scenes are the ones to use.

Thank you guys!

He has one scene in the preset called "Microphone Input 2" and visually, that picture I posted looks like a microphone of some sort to my eyes, but I shouldn't consider it a microphone for the purposes of the preset, right? His third scene in the preset is called "Piezo". The scenes in order are:

Scene 1: Microphone Input 2
Scene 2: Acusti IR
Scene 3: Piezo
Scene 4: Plex IR
Scene 5: Nylon IR
Scene 6: Nylon Plex
Scene 7: Nylon Shim
Scene 8: Acoustic Shim

So for this guitar, when using the internal pickup, just go with Scene 3?

Not sure what Acusti IR means.

Yes. But try them all, and see which one you like best. There's more than one that might be applicable here.

Here's my basic one. FM9 compatible.
The JC 120 amp is also good IMO for acoustic.
