I usually bring 4 guitars to gigs along with my FX3. The guitars have either high gain passives or active EMG-81's. My FX3 is dialed in to handle either seamlessly so I don't have to change any settings when switching guitars. It really helps that these passive/active have a similar output. Recently I bought a guitar that has a Fishman Fluence Modern in the bridge. I did not expect the tonal and output difference of this pickup relative to what I already have. By design these pickups are more neutral without the lower end bump that my other pickups have. It's really a completely different type of output compared to the others and yes I have played around with the different voicings.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to deal with this in a live situation where I switch to the guitar with the Fishman Fluence. I have over 120 presets that are automatically changed via MIDI during the performance. I think what I need is some sort of a block (possibly EQ) to boost the low end of the Fluence pickups somewhere in the chain to make it sound and perform more like my other guitars. I assume this would have to set globally so it stays enabled across all presets so that I only have to change it once. For example, when I pickup the Fluence guitar I'll press one of the switches on the FC-12 labeled "Fluence" so that all my presets will now include this block to change the tone.
Open to any ideas on different approaches.
