HonestOpinion Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Thanks for this, a very well made comparison video. I have to say though, the issue I have been having with getting great acoustic sounds through any modeler is not so much on finger picking where they seem to excel, but on chording. I have spent hours across many days working with all kinds of acoustic IRs, effects, etc.. and the biggest problem I have is getting the chords to sound rich and thick.

I have spent hours across many days working with all kinds of acoustic IRs, effects, etc.. and the biggest problem I have is getting the chords to sound rich and thick. I think it has to do with the way piezos respond to the greater force applied to the crystals when you strum. Even running my acoustics through my Fishman Aura Spectrum this is still a bit of a problem. Not as bad but it's still there. I'm wondering if this is something that a sophisticated multi-band compressor might be able to help alleviate. Then again, if you switch between picking and strumming within a song, what's good for one style may not work for the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHamm Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 With piezos, you have to strum a little less hard than you are used to. Para EQ and LA Studio Comp are your friends in getting the whole chord in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hideout Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 It'd be interesting to use an electric guitar with piezo saddles with this patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orzel Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Very interesting topic. I have a question: How do you build the Impulse Response of your acoustic instrument? Somewhere you can buy good-quality prepared IR? I have to explore on how to do it. I would like to have my IR Martin. I think I'm going to manual Helix.

Orzel Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Thanks for the link :-) soon check in concert :-) Someone tried to use other IR Helix with acoustic guitar? I mean banjo, sitar, mandolin, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicGeek Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I've put an idea in Ideascale to ask Line6 to include IR's in Helix. Vote, please!!! ;) http://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Include-IR-s-for-acoustic-and-classical-guitar/807124-23508 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
