      Just set up my K&K Trinity. Wow big improvement from the PIEZO no doubt!!! The pure mini pickup is sooooo much better than the Piezo by itself. The mic is just an added bonus. I would be satisfied with the pure mini on its own.

      Another question. This is something I sent to line 6 support. when I plug my usb into my computer to use HX edit. The ground loop/hum is tremendously loud. 

      I literally have my master output at the end of my blocl maxxed out just to compensate for it. And it's almost even.

      I have used 2 different computers

      Various usb cable

      Various outlets

      Ground lifts,

      Nothing works

       

      Any ideas?

      Yes The K&K trinity I believe is the pure mini with the mic. The preamp is for the MIC primarily but it does add volume to the 3 transducers as well. It sounds great but I was surprised at how low the output was without the preamp. Do you have to add a lot of gain to your output at the end of your L/R block in HX edit?

      The mixes sound very nice on sound cloud. You were able to retain the martin tone. Also the low end works very well. And thank you for the Piezo preset. I intend to work with it today.

      So I have a big question for you. I just installed my K&K trinity microphone. I am going to hammer things out today. I also got the K&K preamp. My question for you is do I need to use the K&K preamp for the pickup. I tried it briefly after the install directly into the board (no preamp) and even with a big gain boost, the level was very low.

      What I had hoped I could do is plug the K&K pickup along with my piezo pickup into my left and right input of my HX Stomp. I already created a stereo patch where the left and right side can have their individual paths for blocks like EQ and compression and come out stereo to my board. If I have to use the K&K preamp it will be a drag.

    Hi Peter,
    First off thank you for all the help you have given to the acoustic guitarists out here in the terrifying computer age. I have an obstacle I can't seem to work around. I decided to put together an acoustic gig. I have a Takamine G series acoustic (PIEZO pickups), not the greatest guitar but it does sound good enough direct in the P.A. that I figured it would only be better going through an HX Stomp so I got one. It does sound better in all areas but big body strumming guitar. My guitar sound like it's made out of aluminum. Any of the IR's I use or any presets I have downloaded are fine (for the most part) for fingerstyle or single string acoustic songs. My issue is with my strumming sound. I have all the top IR's and have spent more time than I want to admit trying to get that big round sound out of the P.A. To tell you the truth, it's pretty awful. Very hard and quacky. I have been an audio engineer for over 25 years and a guitarist for over 35 and no matter what EQ'ing I try, It sounds horrible through the P.A. I have great P,A, speakers; QSC k.12, Good board; Mackie DL1608. I'm going direct from the acoustic through the Stomp out  stereo into the board. Is there something I am missing somewhere? Thanks for any help or suggestions. I am happy to try anything, Or even if you know what frequency I really need to roll of would be appreciated. Thank you

    Gerry

      Hi Peter,
      thanks so much for getting back to me. I have made some headway. I have come to terms with the fact that PIEZO pickups are inherently very quacky when strumming. And I am pretty percussive and that doesn't translate into more bottom on a PIEZO just more quack. So after searching through every IR I had which is just about everything from Sigma and more. the best ones are the ones I downloaded from you. The 109_slope_jumbo and the super_jumbo were best for my guitar at 25%. Anytime I add too much IR mix I seem tp get horrible phasing issues. Does anyone ever use an acoustic IR at 100% ???

      To counter the quackiness of the PIEZO I ordered the K&K Sound Trinity Mini PRO Guitar Pickup System.

      *I am going to plug my Takamine Piezo to the left input of my stomp (Panned Left)

      *I am going to blend the K&K System (Mic and Pickups) to the right

      * I will eq each side to get the desired sound and blend them together into my live board.

      Wish me luck but it should work.
