RockingCPA Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 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.

waymda Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
