HX Stomp Acoustic Sound for Music Man JP-15

Recommended Posts

My primary guitar is an Ernie Ball Music Man JP-15 equipped with a piezo transducer bridge.  I've been using a Fishman Aura Spectum DI profile in my Kemper Stage to achieve a very convincing acoustic sound.  I'm finding that the acoustic simulator based on the AC-1 in the HX Stomp is not really compatible with a guitar equipped with a piezo (transducer) bridge.  It's my understanding that the AC-1 is really designed to work with the magnetic pickups of an electric guitar, so I guess this is to be expected.  Does anyone have a good solution for getting an good acoustic sound with an electric guitar that has a Fishman/piezo bridge in the HX Stomp?  I'm also trying a TC Electronic Bodyrez pedal in the FX loop, which does add an IR that brings a richer body sound, but with the acoustic simulator seems to make the acoustic sound brittle.

You could try an IR (or many for free) here http://acousticir.free.fr/spip.php?rubrique2

 

I don't know how that will help an electric with piezo but they can be good to change the character of an accoustic with piezo, and add 'body'. Possibly a blend of parallel IRs.

 

 

Thank you.  I also found some great sounding IRs at 3 Sigma Audio. https://www.3sigmaaudio.com/helix-collection/  I also ditched the acoustic sim and did some EQing and sounds a lot better without the sim and with the Bodyrez.
