TC Electronic BodyRes Acoustic Pickup Enhancer

[klaushouz]

The trick for my Takamine is dialing the correct amount of blend on the Aura and then using the onboard EQ, the Aura EQ and the TC EQ + Reverb

It doesn't sound like a guitar miced in a good studio, but it really enhances the acoustic qualities, body, string snap, etc. and minimizes the piezo quack. Is still a tad phasey though. But it sounds more like an Aphex enhancer vs. piezo quackiness.

OK... we all agree , the pedal sounds cool, and it's simple. Great quick fix! We all agree it's the EQ + COMP+ REVERB. Sounds simple BUT what is needed here is are sample EQ curves (and what type of EQ, the Axe Fx has more than a few options)AND where in the signal chain others have had success... to kill the WOOF and QUACK(with or without a tonematch)!

Guitar signal straight into the Cab block. Pre-amp engaged and tone-matched acoustic IR loaded. Tune the pre-amp highs/lows to remove any additional "woof/quack". Simple, clean and delicious.

The best results for my guitar has been from tone match in live mode...

That works well, as long as you have a good recording environment and a guitar whose acoustic tone you want to match.

I think the main problem with tone-matching to a recording is the fact that most recordings have reverb and other stuff that will throw off the tone match. If you can find a good dry recording, you'll like the results.

Without tonematch, I'd hunt down the piezo quack frequency with a PEQ.

This works well. A little judicious EQ for voicing also helps.
