Personally, 2 microphones and placement are ideal (unless you are under a flightpath);
however, I have managed some passable acoustic tones with the BOSS VF-1. There is a
newer Roland/Boss unit specifically for acoustic modelling; however, I have not tried it yet.
Any other suggestions?

full of gunslingers and such. I'm thinking of getting back to the guitar a little bit and
useing it to add a little sonic spice to my modular synth recordings.As my studio is set up
to record nothing but synths, i'm going to have to go the "direct in" route. Getting a
electric guitar into the board and then out to the Serge for extra processing in not a
problem, as i have a POD xt. But getting a good acoustic guitar tone direct is another
story. Does anyone on this list have first hand experience with acoustic DIs?? About the
only one that i've even heard of for acoustic instruments is the Pendulum Audio.Other than
that i'm ignorant. I've been to most of the manufacturers sites, but it's all the same
advertising shuck and jive. So if anyone has any hands on experience with this situation
and could point me in any direction, i would be most grateful. I'm useing a Dexter Johnson
with a LR Baggs pickup w/ Strausmann preamp...... way cool twenty years ago, but a little
outdated now. Yes, i know i could and should just go for a modest microphone and
preamp, and i do have a few of those but i also live underneath the flightpath at PDX
international. So forget that. I did set up a vocal mike about three years ago, but i guess
my mikes weren't cheap enough 'cause i could pick up the dog farting across the street.
Not what i had in mind, but with enough processing...... .. : )
