ST,

No problem...

I am not sure which preset would be best...it may take some trial and error. I was thinking of preset 23 (Originally for an AKG 451). The reason I say this is because the comparative frequency responses are similar, not exact though. I notice that both mic's seem to have a boost in the highs.

I would also like to leave this open for anyone who may have other preset suggestions for ST...

Help him out y'all...

I play a Digitech GNX3 through my PAS. So far there hasnt been a tone I wanted that I could not get. The sound is huge. The band that I was just recently playing with disbanded so now I am forced to audition again. I will be doing that withing the next couple of weeks. The first aud is with another guitar player who plays through 2 Marshall stacks. Not sure how I will compare, but we will see...

Good luck with the audition.

You could get the people who are "auditioning you" to
walk through the 170 degree sound field of the PAS (in a close radius, say 5-15 feet so they can experience what it be like to play beside you onstage.

Then if there is room, have them do it again with with as large a radius as possible so they will experience what you will sound like - all through the house - vs. the "sweet spot".

That should blow the doors off the stack.

Here's an update on the Mesa Boogie V-Twin with the PAS.

Summary
It is wonderful!
If you like the sound of a Boogie. That's not a complaint by the way.

• Clean channel is very nice, reminds me of my old Mk IV clean channel.
  
• Blues-Clean is pretty crunchy when you drive it. When playing rhythm I just rolled back the volume on the guitar and got things the way I wanted.
  
• Lead is pretty "in your face" but you have a lot of latitude just by working the volume control on the guitar.
  
• Now here is the fun part: Amazing feedback
  By maxing the volume on the guitar, and rolling back just a little on the remote (had it running into Channel 2/preset 00) I got this outrageously fat tone - without blowing anyone away with volume. Okay so that was good, but then...
  There is probably a name for this but I don't know what it is, so let me describe the insanely gorgeous (good) feedback thing that was happening. If I held a note long enough - maybe 4-5 seconds, with a little vibrato, the overtones would start to feedback (sort of like the old - get 'er going and gently press the head of the guitar to the speaker cabinet trick only I didn't have to).
  
  It produced the octave harmonic and I think I even heard the fifth in the feedback. Once this started you could have held the note forever if you wanted.
  
  I'm still getting to know the V-Twin, so I was surprised at first and then stunned. I couldn't believe that this was coming out of a (nice) stomp box. And the second thing was that this was happening at a reasonable volume.
  
  I figure that this has got to be the PAS reproducing the sound so faithfully that it can create the feedback resonance with the guitar at relatively low volume.
  

Details
I got the volume differential (clean vs. lead) sorted out. You can read the details in the troubleshooting thread

I picked up a second PAS yesterday and the first experiment was to see if I could actually fit two of them in my car.

• Yes, they fit (barely).
  
• No, I can't take my 4 space rack (with the McIntyre and TC Electronic G-Force).
  
• No, I'm not going to be able pick up anybody on the way to the gig.
  

So I drag the rack back into the house and that's how I ended up running the V-Twin last night.

2003 PRS Custon 22 Artist Series
2001 Taylor 615 with Fishman Blender
POD XT with Longboard (have it from Vetta Amp that is no longer in use)

POD xt run into channel 3
Taylor usus by-pass setting on pod

Someone here said they cut the top of the Vetta off and ditched the speaker section...wish I would have thought of that before buyinh the POD!

Lets see. Of course the Bose system with a B1, Schneider DS-1 Small Jumbo acoustic ( Schneider Guitar / Cincinnati Ohio) K&K Western pickup, Avalon U5.Run to channel 1 with 00 setting ( control setting from the remote and U5 )
KILLER!!!!

This discussion seems to have taken on a new life in
What Electric Guitars, Effects and presets do you use with Bose?

Shure sm58

1999 52 reissue butterscotch tele
takamine Santa fe acoustic
Line 6 floor pod plus
L1 Model 11 with T1and 2 B1's

I mainly play acoustic run direct into the L1 and use ths Taylor setting and no effects.
Vocal is run using the 58 setting and reverb.
I have only just got the second B1 and find it makes the sound "fuller", which is important when playing solo as I do.
I use a lot more reverb than others on here going by comments posted,but it works for me.
I enjoy the challenge of of working solo just me and my guitar.

I'm a solo acoustic guitarist. My set up is very simple:
Guitar (Baranik CX, Baranik Meridian, or Martin OM-28 LJ-Pro)......LR Baggs Anthem pick up....Bose T1....my new L1 ModII or house PA. For very small spaces or when I can't make multiple trips to the car, I use another amp, but still with the T1.

Just picked up a POD HD500 and a Variax 700 solid body electric. Still dialing in some of my own sounds. Running into L1 M2 2B1s and T1. Looking forward to crafting a bucket full of Amp/effect combinations, and setting up all my alternate tunings on the variax. Will be nice to show up at a gig with only 1 guitar.

I love my Variax 700. I purchased it soon after getting my first L1.

You probably know that at low volumes the alternate tunings can sound strange because you are hearing the actual strings. Still, the guitar is great at low volume using regular tunings.
I've said more that once on this forum that it is the easiest to play guitar that I've owned.

Respect,
Col. Andy

I think using 2 B1's will change EQ settings, IIRC.

I've used many things with my L1 system from the Axe-Fx Ultra, preamps (ADA, Marshall, Tech 21), to low end modelers (Vox Tonelab, Tech 21 Character Pedals, Zoom) and they all work out great.

For guitar, I only use 1 B1; for bass or keys, I use 2 B1's. YMMV, but if you are using 2 B1's for guitar you may want to have a go with 1 B1 to see how it sounds...and maybe one less thing to carry!

IMO / YMMV

Still playing my Variax 700
acoustic or my Switch Electric - both with Roland GK pick-ups added for synth control.
Now and then I pick up my GOldtone 6-string Banjitar -
but for simple.. I still love my Breedlove Focus using one of the first Taylor tonematch settings. yum.
