Here's how I dial in presets for my Acoustic guitars - both are Piezos, and I used to use Acoustic IRs, but I found this way I have more control, and can make adjustments, as well as make it sound like "My" guitar!
This preset is called "ChaseBlissAcoust" and look for "Piezo Saver" in the folder for my main gigging acoustic preset.

I find JNC's presets are great. Like a lot of players today I switch back forth between an acoustic and an electric. The signal chain is a Taylor equipped with a L.R. Baggs Anthem equipped pickup and one of my electrics going through my Helix LT into my PowerCab 112. When John said that he didn't use IR's to get his tone I was skeptical. The IR's were a necessity, or so I believed. I watched the video and then found that I had already bought the preset. I loaded the preset into my Helix and started testing it. I made some modifications but I, overall, loved the sound. This is when I got the idea that I would add one of my 3Sigma IR's and really kick it up a notch. John was right I don't need an IR. The preset sounded like a well miked acoustic guitar. All of the IR's made the guitar sound artificial even when I'm using only the mic on the Anthem set up.
Thanks for the great job
Love the acoustic guitar content 👌🏽
Thanks a lot 🙏🏽
Man, I've always loved your playing and I listen to every 'how to play' video, but this brought me all the way back to how I felt as a teen when I discovered Al di (Aldi?) Meola!
Your sound creation ability has also developed by leaps and bounds in the last two years, and now I want to hear what you would be able do get out of the Mail Order Twin and it's associated cab. Some of my favourite guitae music was allegedly recorded with the Silvertone 1484 and its wacky cabinet, but I can't get those tones out of it
Think I will try this on my favorite Traveler Guitar. The Yamaha Silent Guitar. It feels almost in between an electric and acoustic. Great writing tool.
Hi John I purchased the press of your for the helix floor. I do also have a stomp xl, however I was wondering how you add them and also which ones are the best for an acoustic with an LR Baggs Anthem I own few guitars with those in and then I also have two Australian Maton guitars. I have struggled to get a really good acoustic tone as I do a lot of live looping. Any help would be appreciated
Yes, please make acoustic video for Quad Cortex!
My Taylor acoustic never sounded better than with the HX Stomp. I recently added the mic preamp to my acoustic chain to get a little more warmth and level. But I use 2 EQs parametric on the front and 10 band at the end. This helps me shape the undesirable frequencies out of the Taylor piezo. Love the tone you are getting. Very organic and natural.
cAN i SEE YOUR PRESET ?
@@gerrycollins5696 will try to get to you tomorrow
@@gerrycollins5696 Gerry I have my acoustic preset file ready to send to you but need to know where to post it. Its not nearly as complex as JNC's but does the job. Since I did my preset a year ago I have removed one of the EQ's. Also removed the compressor. I am using an external SP compressor.
My signal chain within the Stomp mono input>4voice chorus>vintage delay>dynamic plate>dynamic hall>studio tube mic pre (be careful with the gain)>parametric EQ On the parametric to eliminate a lot of the "piezo quackyness" I lower the Q and gain on the mid frequency. My style of acoustic is I use a lot of ambient, hence the two reverbs which I switch on and off. The chorus I switch on and off with an external TRS switch for F5.
Hi John. If I remember rightly in one of your older videos you had a custom made guitar lead that could plug in too both channels 1 and 2. Any idea where I can get one of these? Thank you
what is the difference between main Helix folder and Helix Expression/Freeze and Pads folder? thanks
Yes please for the QC ask!
Sounds good on my phone. 70 Hz is below the deepest frequency of a standard tuned guitar (83 Hz). So you are adding a lot of potential issues - especially for people with speakers going deep.
Hi - I just purchased your presets via Gumroad - what is the name of the preset in this video - very hard to find in the folder, unless I'm missing something? Thanks!
What do you recommend for a solid nylon guitar? I'm using the quad cortex
To me, using the studio tube preamp is a must for acoustic guitars with piezos.
Same
you should give the Sire Acoustics a go, they are FANTASTIC for the price. Not only do they have great internal pickups and EQ , but they play so nicely. Better than some of the guitars I've played for 3 times the price.
Hey John could you please do a video like this for the quad cortex?
For Acoustic and Nylon String guitars, I like the clean sound of the Jazz River Amp. Turning the Presence setting to zero, and the Bass up does a lot to get rid of the excessive bright and quacky sound of Piezo Pickups, and can produce a surprisingly natural tone, particularly on Nylon Strings. This then makes using an EQ easier, and sometimes unnecessary in my experience.
What model is that lovely Yamaha Acoustic?
@johnnathancordy what is the difference between main Helix folder and Helix Expression/Freeze and Pads folder? thanks
?
Awesome, now for Quad cortex please....
What does the Internal Revenue Service have to do with acoustic guitar tone?
It was just an impulse response....
Hahaha! Well played, gents. Started my day with a smile
The bottom E was distorting a tad.
About 9:10 he says 48 "kilo hertz" but I think the display reads 48Hz 2.2q and - 6.3 and then later on he adds 123Hz 1.7 +8.1
He does an A - B comparison but those parametric boost and cuts are already there so the +10 High/Low at just emphasizes the "snake" like curve. Bottom line for me is. Aside from the misspoken "kilo", I like the sound. It is better than most IRs, but his piezoelectric guitar pickup is not as bad as most. And fingerpicking covers a world of piezo quack madness. So I like this lesson.
btw: listening 🎧 with full isolation headphones so the bass may be exaggerated for me. I still like it.
Tommy Is a deadset genius (and is as good a bloke as he is a player)
Hey John. I could not find this in the folders. Which one is it in?
Nevermind. I found it. Thanks for all your work. This is my go-to channel.
Video starts at 5:18
For my acoustic patch, keep in mind 1. I have a Taylor which has the worst pickup system, 2. I play lead, I use the mic preamp block and assign the polarity to a footswitch and I use the acoustic simulator block and assign the body to a footswitch. I think this works better than acoustic IR's. I also use 2 eq's, one to boost low mids and one to as a freq cut Incase of feedback, and a la studio comp to cut back on the clipping sound that sometimes happens when playing too hard
Hello. Just to let you know they’re not allowing the promo code on true fire at the moment.
While I like the sound of my acoustics, I don’t care if an IR sounds exactly like them. I’ll stick with IRs.
Yes, I think we absolutely don't need IRS here.
I make it sound great every time I play. At least until my neighbours start banging on the walls.
Americans are going to think this video about about taxes. At least I did, lol
All access for $99, are you sure about that? Just looked $249
That was the black friday deal, and the renew price. Full price is $249
@@TomJarane Just got an email offer for $99 so the deal is still going.
this sounds quite bad for acoustic (beautiful playing anyway)
John, I'm gonna be honest. It's cuz I love your channel...
I think you should practice acoustic more. You played it just like you play your strats, which is great, but the acoustic shines elsewhere.
Also, this tone is my least favorite you've made. I'm not saying it's objectively bad, I just don't like it, that's just my subjective feeling about it.
I want my acoustics to sing with bright harmonica overtop of the warm bottom end. I want loads of open strings and harmonics anywhere I can get them. Chords and strums, percussion, etc.
Maybe that's just me.
You know what though? I like this video still because it makes your skill far more approachable and less intimidating. You're so damn good at just jamming and improv, that I'm kind of glad you finally put a video out that didn't impress me.
Thanks for all your work, man.
Edit: then you go and admit you're not great at fingerstyle right away, what a boss move. I think that's what is grating me here, I play acoustic almost exclusively without a pick and electric with a pick, so my ears want to hear that elsewhere too.
I think I'm with you as far as preference on tone. Does not sound bad per se, but sounds rather muffled to my ear, which I suppose is due to the ear being trained on listening to the acoustic guitar as I play in the living room. Perhaps it's too hard to get a clean glassy tone out of a piezo without sounding harsh, but I know what I'm about to try with my Stomp... Thanks again John for the inspiration and tips. I honestly never really thought about plugging in my acoustic.
Interesting that you use fingers mostly on acoustic and plectrum on electric. I myself was the same for years and now I find that I hybrid pick or use fingers on electric and I think that is mostly because I’ve spent a lot of time trying to get good at finger style on acoustic (and I’m still not where I think I should be).
I don’t, however, share your opinion about JNC’s opening here. I think that was very similar to Al DiMeola’s acoustic work or Phil Keaggy when he uses a plectrum. It was lovely.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
only US watchers will get the IRS reference...pay your taxes or possibly put an apostraphe after the R?
The apostrophe would be a mistake.
First
Bruh... them strings need changed lol
