solo acoustic guitar - Zoom G3

Post by bbrown » Sun Jul 01, 2012 2:08 pm

I've got a new G3 FX unit.

I'm wondering if anyone might have some nice patches for a "warm, mellow" acoustic solo sound. I do classical and folk instrumental (no vocals) mostly.

Thanks for helping me get started,

-Bill

if you want to get a really mellow sound try a tone setting used by eric clapton and especially slash in his solos ( knocking on heavens door for example ) use gain at 4, volume aprox 7, bass 2, middle and treble 2. then turn your tone dials (or dial) all the way down and put your pickup switch in the neck position.
reeeeeeeal bluesy!

Hey thanks so much for the reply Uemura.

I'll try these ideas out.

I'm finding the HD Reverb, Hall Reverb, FD Combo amp, with some Compression and maybe some EQ all work pretty well for my style.

It's very hard to escape the tinny sound of my Baggs M1 magnetic soundhole pick-up. I play a Collings dreadnaught guitar, and am considering a new pick-up system. The K&K Trinity might be the ticket.

Thanks again,

--Bill
