First, no matter how many times I’ve tried, I can’t tone match my acoustic’s output against a traditional mic.
Having said that I finally did the right thing and used a mic.
I had a one channel grace design model 101 preamp sitting in a box collecting dust.
An AKG 451 mic.
A Mark Knopler Martin dreadnought with a fishman piezo output
Plugged the guitar and preamp in and ....gee guys it sounds really good.
This mic preamp is perfect for the axe...simple, pure analog...wish I had another!
Here’s the one I have: https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/grace-design-model-101
Here’s the latest: https://gracedesign.com/products/microphone-preamplifiers/m101/
I think I like the original better, no SMPS, no frills...oh well
