Have you ever played one of those Fishman acoustic Loudbox amps? It would be interesting to talk about choosing a PA vs an amp and why one might purchase one vs the other. And also talking about using pre-amps and other pedals and why you pick pedals for a PA and/or amp. Nobody ever talks about these things much with acoustic guitars. It only comes up with electric guitars. Would be nice to do a deep dive on amps vs PA vs pre-amps and effects pedals. I’ve seen that pedal of yours from Fishman. They make a bunch of great looking pre-amp pedals. LR Baggs also has some nice options. It’s tough to know what to pick and what’s really suitable, though. Like why would one want to go with a Fishman Loudbox vs. a setup like yours, for instance? Anyway, your guitars always sound beautiful with your setup. I can only imagine how much better it must be in person!
On my tone journey I started with my D28 which I have owned for 47 years. Installed the Baggs lyric after hearing Phil Keaggy demo. Bought all the Align pedals and mounted them on a board.You can get very close to the Original. Then with the Optima Air, produced IRs using a shotgun mic,preamp and EQ. In my alternate location with a cheap guitar the Fishman Aura is fun with all the mic and guitar sounds
I would love to hear that D28 now. It has to be awesome especially paired with the electronics you selected. I especially like the align reverb pedal. Thanks so much for sharing you treasured finds ❤️
@@guitarnotions I’m in St Croix till Sept. Guitar in shop for refret. I’m talking about the hypnotic echoes bouncing around in the box,the notes are syrupy sweet!
Good morning. I believe that tone comes from the fingers, regardless if you’re playing an acoustic or electric guitar. YOUR tone drew me to your channel. I also like your willingness to noodle, discover, and explore different guitar builders. There’s a lot to like and learn out there in the guitar community. Thanks.
So glad you enjoyed the video. I have been fascinated with guitars for a life time now! Over the years they seem to be consistently improving even at the budget level. It is so much fun. Thank you for listening in❤️
That sound, yup. Even my Stratocasters are like this. I've got 6, 😆 bose is amazing! My amp is a stereo amp that Fender makes. And you can fit in in yoir pocket. To me, nothing beats that. That amd fishman preamps.
@@guitarnotions the E tells all. Tone, volume and sustain. I was struggling with the guitar. I started playing the old Beatles songs. It really helped in many ways. I'm friends again with my acoustics.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on guitars and accessories. Guitars are so much fun. Tone is so subjective and varied. The search is such an important aspect of guitar addiction. Blessings to you!
@@guitarnotions, and isn't it funny how movies and certain x president's can use other people's music but we can't? Nope, we're not that free. I keep waiting for a official to pull me over and say, paper's please... 😆 I always say, welcome to Germany. Rant over!
Rosewood , mahogany and maple are the three basic B and S tone woods and Spruce (5-6 species), Cedar/Redwood and Mahogany the three basic top woods. Coupled with different body sizes and scales, plenty of combinations- at least 120- 150 (great) combo possibles to spend your $$$$ on ! I like the KK mini pickup and play through a Fishman Tone DEQ DI. Fishman , as you said, has great customer service, but I don't care for their under saddle transducers- too much quickness. ( Some people like that though .) Always fun to dream about the next axe.....
I have played a k&k in a Rainsong (carbon fiber) guitar. It sounded awesome. Very clean and natural. I have recently been pleasantly surprised by the new lr baggs hifi. It has 2 sensors (no under saddle). It works equally as well as the k&k - maybe even better. 😀
Good information Cindy, Your guitar sounds just fine. You know Martin lovers think nothing sounds as good as a Martin. Blah, Not true. Thanks for sharing Cindy.😍
@@miamistomp unless you love Santa Cruz, Breedlove, Bedell, white, Froggy Bottom, McPherson, Collings, lowden, furch, iris, Olsen and the list goes on and on 🤣. But I do love my Martin m21.
Being a retired man cave guitarist i never play my acoustic threw my amp Where i get picky about tone is the pick i have a box full of picks and only 1 i been using since covid
I have one of those but with cedar top and cutaway, for such a small guitar they are fantastic, one of my favourite guitars . Have you tried those 24 karat strings made in Germany called OPTIMA ? I’ve bought some but haven’t tried them yet , I bought.011-.050. Yes I did hear a difference sounds very good 😊
I GET it. I’ve not been playing guitar for very long but I seem to be obsessed with guitars. Trying different ones, looking for that “perfect “ sound. I’m thinking it’s an obsession that follows a guitar player his/her whole life 😜🤣 I guess each guitar has its own unique sound and pedals /amps can help but I get it! I really appreciate your posts - they are just so practical and helpful! But I GET it! That Bose does sound beautiful… when I have some extra funds I plan to purchase it!
The Bose is a game changer… download the app to you phone. You can tan make an inexpensive mic sound like a very expensive mic… so many great features 😀

Good morning from Miami ! I guess at age 70 I am set in my ways but I don't think that guitar sounds that good . Unplugged it is thin and plugged in a bit boomy and soulless. Your Martin 0000 is so much nicer!! Like you, I have chased acoustic tone and realize so much is going on. I recently had a Martin that I almost gave up on until i tried monel strings and a different pick and it just came alive. My favorites that I own are a Buddy Holly J45, a D15 and for all around play , a first run Martin Dread Jr If I gotta plug in I go right to my Gibson ES125-into a miced tube amp Sorry for the length- I am just not a fan of messing with acoustic tone This is some of my favorite acoustic tone here ruclips.net/video/oSdy4uNwR54/видео.html
Good morning! Love that Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young! (Takes me back) I have to agree with you The Sheeran is good for travel, but you can’t put it up against that Martin m21 🤣. I love a clean acoustic sound, but to amplify the sound without disturbing natural sound - that’s a challenge. I also should note, my iPhone recording did not help the sound any this time😀. Thank so much for listening in and sending a great comment ❤️
@@guitarnotions Your welcome. Love your honest content. You stay up all night ( a true musician) or get up early ?🙂 My little Americana duo here-( I am the drummer on this one ) ruclips.net/video/ITlxAGyEqXU/видео.html&ab_channel=miamistomp
I will probably never achieve your level of play, and have some slight deafness, so I'm fine with my Eastman AC308 & Martin 000-15s. I play alone just for me so everything sounds amazing, lol.

@@guitarnotions , yes and you can go into any shop and have an in stereo experience with yourself. Tee, hee
The Fishman has a nice full sound.
It does work well. The iPhone recording doesn’t do it justice 😀
I agree with having more than one guitar and your reasoning. My next guitar will be an electric with stainless steel frets.
Maybe buying guitars isn’t a disease after all🤣
The mighty E, John Lennon calls out the Natural E in BABY YOUR A RICH MAN. My early morning rambling strikes again.
“How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful people,
Tuned to a natural E,
Happy to be that way…” ❤️I remember that song - played in the key of G 🤣
@@guitarnotions the E tells all. Tone, volume and sustain. I was struggling with the guitar. I started playing the old Beatles songs. It really helped in many ways. I'm friends again with my acoustics.
@@jeffsquires6620 oh those acoustics… they can be so sweet and then just turn on you🤣. Thanks for your comments❤️

An exquisite obsession. Experimenting with sound. And they booed Dylan when he broke out a Strat.
Now that sounds like an interesting story about Dylan ❤️
Love the outro...

🤣 oh but that Martin m21 is quite grand… but my little Gibson L1 that will live forever 😀
I have a 1970 d-18 Martin it sounds good too, but I've heard other brands for me sound better.
Because nothing does sound as good as a Martin

Eastman makes some very nice instruments. It’s funny but I think during my personal time (no one around) I played and enjoyed my best playing. ❤️
No more Emerald?
Love my Emerald. Played it in church on Sunday. It’s a very predictable instrument- always sounds great!
@guitarnotions Awesome, I just got an X7, may play it in church Sunday. Will definitely be using it in my acoustic duo.
@@jfree336 let me know how that goes. What pickup is in your x7?
@guitarnotions It has the level 3.
@@jfree336sounds like it’s the ghost pickup. Thats good, and with a good sound system it will be great.
The Sound is in your Fingers
And sometimes it’s in my head and never makes it to my fingers… 🤣
@@guitarnotions We hear the sound in the Woodshed.
I love the sound of that guitar..it sounds like a souped up nylon string guitar. Willie Nelson needs one.
Nothing will sound like old trigger❤️
