in their O yet? I have tried removing the preamp & the guitar sounded a bit louder to me, but I didn't experiment much. Just curious about placement of a sound port. Would it be the same as a wood box guitar, or does the round bowl change the game?

You can take the preamp and the can totally out,
that would increase the sound coming up towards your head...

Then again, if it has a preamp you can always just Plug It In! :cool:

Somebody here did that to an elite with the multi hole pattern like the top, but in my old age, I can't remember who it was. They did a nice job of it though.

I just wonder who´ll be starting reflecting on an "enhanced bass reflex" Ovation... might be interesting to find the mathematical correct formula needed to get all the accoustic waves correct. One would need to direct the sound to the front somehow in order not to lose it in one´s belly...

Thanks, but unfortunately that thread ended before he posted any results or pictures. Have to look see if he started another thread, cause the linked thread just ended curiously abruptly.
