Patch for acoustic

[marc0810]

All,

Playing acoustic tonight for a gig, was going to make a preset just for this. Plugged my acoustic in (fairly high end Washburn, fresh battery). I noticed in the in1 block I had to crank out level to an obscene amount just to get a usable signal coming through. Volume cranked on acoustic too and barely getting green lights on the input meters. Any tips?

My acoustic has a passive pickup system so I have low levels too, I suggest you try inserting a Tube Preamp block, this really helped me out.

I did try that last night didn’t seem to help much…I’ll play around a little more before the gig though.
