It's not the drinking, it's the $600/month for my daughter's HealthInsurance that keeps me "in the hole" . . . Cliff, send me some info. Maybe I can offer some suggestions to help lower that a bit. |

Location: NJ | Thanks Stephen, but since she finished school, she's riding-out(I'm paying-out) the COBRA on my Plan (and there'd be a lot of extenuating circumstances if we "changed") . . .
Back to this guitar . . .

Location: Boise, Idaho | Weekend isn't here yet. I spent this evening trying to figure out the VIP. Where is the list of models?
I did a comparison with the Folklore. It has Clapton's Choice strings and is set lower, so it's not apples to apples, but the Koa had much more punch. Not really volume, just a much more crisp sound. Also seemed to have more bass, but it might just be the difference in placement of the soundholes. Definitely a sound difference to go with the difference in looks. Glad I didn't just get a fancy Folklore for 7 times what I paid for the Folklore. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Mark, as I recall, a number of us discussd our preferred settings on the VIP some time ago. I haven't messed with it for awhile so it just stays where its at, but my recollection is that I preferred options 2 and 4, with the imaging mixed in at about 30% or even a bit lower. |

Location: Omaha, NE | That's pretty much where I am too. I leave it on image #2 all the time, and might go up to as much as 50% on the slider or down to around 10%, depending on my mood and where we are playing. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | The manual says something like the 5 images are listed on a hang tag. My hang tag didn't have any listed. I searched, but didn't find a list of the image selections for this. Anyone know what they're supposed to be? I probably won't plug in enough to remember which ones I like, so I'll just leave it alone, but it would be nice to know what they are supposed to sound like.
I have DSP on my Crate Acoustic, too, so I can get some effects from that. I haven't tried it with the guitar's DSP combined with the amp DSP to see what that does. |

This is a little better. I'll have to try more to see if I've got the hang of it. |
