Congratulations on getting these done and out to the community. These are two fabulous companies with great musical instruments. It's wonderful to have them in the family.
Again, thanks to you, Cliff, and Mike for all the hard work to make this happen.
I just recieved my L1 mod 1 and love it so far. I use an Ovation guitar for gigs and don't know which preset is best to use to optimize the sound. According to Bose/tech support there are other guitars like Taylors (I have 2) where the presets are set at #49 which I need to try out. My question is that I see Ovation was recently added to the Toneworks library not listed but which is best or closest to best for the L1 Mod 1 preset? Any suggestions anyone? Thanks, Dave
Tech support gave you some good advice, I would also try any of the presets within the acoustic guitar bank and listen a bit. The nice thing here is that there is no right or wrong and you may stumble on something that sounds great to your ears.
On the Downloads page it lists the "Natural CT4B" as a "Natural Series" with a Cool Tube Preamp, but that's incorrect I think. The CT4B is not the cool tube, but is the old standard preamp for all their pro-level guitars.
Just a heads-up...
Thanks, -Will

Last night I downloaded the Tonematch presets for Ovation guitars and tried it out with my Legend LX (w/ Op Pro Preamp) and I must say that it sounds fantastic, and that's without doing any "tweaking" of my own. I can't wait to try it on my 12 string Legend as well. I've been playing Ovations for a long time (most of the time through a P.A.) and they have never sounded better. I couldn't be happier. The Bose / Ovation people really outdid themselves on this one.
So far I'm very impressed although I have a lot to learn about it. The presets for my Martin and Ovation sound fantastic. For some reason, the volume on the mic channel seems to be kind of low, but I think that I have to do more tweaking on the input level on the "Vocalist II". Even though the trim level on the channel seems to be as high as it can go without going into the "red". I also have the preset set to the correct mic (Shure 58A Beta). I'll keep trying until I get it right.
