Location: Madison, WI | I'm flying out to the west coast to do a live CD recording. I will be playing electric and acoustic guitar. I have done this many times with electric guitar, and always request a Fender Twin Reverb, but I have no idea what to request for acoustic guitar.
My acoustic is an Ovation CC257. I can imagine the guitar will be DI-ed right into the recording so the amp will probably be primarily for stage volume . . . but they might chose to line-out the amp or mic it, I dont know. We have a very loud stage volume (remember the Fender Twin) and so what I really need is something loud and clean and little feedback. I can request something good quality, but if it's hard-to-find or extremely expensive they will look at me funny . . . so probably something in the same category as the Twin.
Normally, when I play acoustic guitar at my church, I play through our Roland keyboard amp, which sounds very nice but does tend to feed back on the lower strings. I've enver owned an acoustic amp, never even really tried out one. I've either played through keyboard amps or direct in to the PA/mixer/recording.
So . . . any suggestions? What should I put on the backline? |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | I am a fan of the Shenandoahs, but the Fender Acoustasonics are easy to find. If the amp is just a monitor and your recorded sound is lined to the board, it doesn't matter as much. I would reckon with your guitar of choice that you are less likely to be using a condenser mic on the top. |

The AER's are also very nice if you can find one. |
