I am looking for suggestions/solutions for how users are getting the levels between Acoustic and Electric Models (or just the Variax Mags) evened out when using the Variax with the HD500. Generally, when creating sounds using the Mags or one of the JTV's electric models, I am building presets with one or two amps in the signal chain. By contrast, if I just want a straight, dry sound for one of the JTV's acoustic (or resonator) models, I create the sounds without activating an amp model. I assume this is the appropriate thing to do because the HD500's amp models are designed for electric guitars. The problem, however, is that the levels vary widely depending on the presence or absence of a pre-amp gain stage in the mix. So, presets using Mags (or one of the electric guitar models) are much louder than those using acoustic guitar or resonator models. I can go in and reduce the output of each preset that uses an amp, and I wonder if that's the proper solution. Or are other experienced users activating one of the amp models along with acoustic/resonator models? If so, which amp model(s) do users find most beneficial; i.e., which amp model(s) add(s) the least amount of distortion to the acoustic signal? Thank you for your responses!
