boom boom boom

Posted by: klsluder <klsluder@...>

I guess what I thought was quack wasn't. For the most part I am happy
with the sound from my piezo except for that annoying E string boom. I
am not one that boosts the bass on my acoustic, in fact I have it down a
little. I like a jangly acoustic sound. I accept the onboard preamp is
adding to the problem.

Our sound board is a 24 channel Mackie. I run the acoustic through the
same channel as the electric - though I use a processor with the Parker.
The Peavey is straight into the board. I can almost be certain none of
our sound people would ever think to adjust the eq (not a snotty comment
just reality) - instead they would simply pull the slider down when it
booms.

There may be an empty channel I could eq during practice especially for
the acoustic. Or I could run it through the processor. I have never
tried that. Would compression help with this? If so can you give me a
rough idea how to set it?

Peace
Kevin
