jdag Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hi all. I have Qs about using an HX Stomp with an acoustic guitar without a pickup. This would be my 1st guitar without a pickup, and I've never mic'd a guitar before, so it is all new to me. 1) Could I simply use a microphone placed in front of the guitar and plug the mic into the HX Stomp? 2) So I need something in between the mic and the Stomp? 3) If I were to add a passive pickup to the guitar, would I be able to use the HX Stomp directly from thew guitar without anything in between? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyboy Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Stomp will not work credibly with XLR lo Z microphone. Needs preamp and even with that - mic’ing acoustic live is very tricky if not impossible for many environments/settings. Stomp can work with passive acoustic pickup but ymmv. Preamp is almost always better for these type efx units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
