Which general equalization do you recommend for using with acoustic guitar for best results during Playing Live?

That is a hard question to answer. All instruments resonate differently. What I do is plug a set of head phones into my final amp speaker and play. This way I can hear exactly what is coming out. This allowed me to try various setting on the pre-amp and on the final amp to get the sound that I wanted. Everyone looks for their own sound and this lettings them experiment till they find theirs.

As it was Marantz's flagship receiver (7009 has a few additional features), I'd say that is the last step before going separate... The equalizer is accessed through the GUI and is straight forward to use. The EQ, I believe, only has 9 or 10 ranges of frequency response where the Audyssey XT-32 has like 10,000 points of equalization that it can adjust for room correction. I'm running my 7008 with 9.2 speakers. I used 8 positions for setup but then adjusted the gain a bit to suit my taste...I like the rears to sound a little more active so brought those up a few DB. I also prefer a little more gain from my subs so I bring those up a little when watching something with a rockin' LF track.

Thanks for your question. Receivers no longer have graphic equalizers. Instead, they have a more comprehensive, 21st century solution called Audessey which is a system that uses a microphone placed at the listening position which allows Audessey to listen to the room from that position and make very comprehensive adjustments to the system that are significantly more intricate and adaptive than a graphic eq could ever make. Thanks again

This is an equalizer. I think what you're looking for is a mixer which you can then plug into the equalizer.

The VHT Special 6 Combo is better suited to clean guitar tones. Has lots of clean headroom and takes pedals well. I have a cheap tremolo and reverb in front of it. Sounds great. It's way too loud for your living room.

It depends on if you're talking acoustic or electric. Will it work for either? Yeah.... but my go to for heavy distorted guitars is still the 57. On acoustic I usually use a pair of KSM 109's or AT 4047's.

This is the one recommended by Brian Sherrill, who runs Active Melody.com. Brian says he uses the Blues Driver (Tone50% & Gain40%) alone >90% of the time he plays blues. I bought one, run it thru my Fender amp and get a great blues sound reminiscent of the old 1960's tube type amps. I love it!

If it sounds better or not is subjective to the opinion(s) of each listener, if you're not happy with the sound I'd suggest getting an Equalizer so you can contour the sound it puts out to satisfy your taste. The unit itself works great and has proven to be dependable so far.

It sounds just as good for $50 as it did on my electric. But hey! Just got the WET reverb yesterday. .. beautiful man.Biyang reverb will be fine with acoustic electric/electric till you get something better! Hope this helps!

I've done it but its really glitchy and unnatural sounding. Helicon makes a good, inexpensive harmonizer. I picked one up used for 60 bucks at Guitar Center.

I mostly use my Sony Walkman NWZ-S545, which has a 5-band equalizer. I equalize it for powerful bass and low mids. My favorite song to test sound quality is Neon Knights by Black Sabbath, as it has extremely powerful bass and percussion. I recently bought the HD 202 II, and I personally think they are the best headphones in market for that price, the sound quality and power is marvelous. I have not tested the 203, however within the 2xx series, I think it is all pretty much the same when it comes to power outcome (I think).

Yes. Phono preamps have a specific equalization curve applied. There are also differences in the amount of amplification needed and probably the input impedance.

you must upgrade your interconnects for best response. I use balanced xlr connectors throughout my system. do the research go on line. amazon has a complete list of interconnects. the equalizer will be a hybrid' rca on one end xlr on the other. do the research, good luck

If your amplifier (Onkyo) does not have tone control, the EQ200 is an easy way to solve the zone 2 tone control problem. Connect zone 2 output to the equalizer input and the output from the equalizer to the Onkyo input. Carefully adjust the EQ to your needs avoiding the overloading of the Onkyo input stage. Use attenuation rather than amplification on the equalizer controls.

I use High Performance OFC connecting cables-2 TRS on one side the other XLR's which I made up! Guitar cables are Great! Your ears will pick up the Difference..I connect the XLR's to a power amp then out into the Virtualizer pro DSP2024P-Preset settings on the Virtualizer: I:O73 TUBE AMP! This Creates a Giant Stereo Smack with Clarity = MID BASS & TREBLE & the Levels are Way up to 0.5db & of coarse the CD recorder to lift the Levels to that Mark. I hope this was helpful to complete your Music Workmenship, God Bless ya Bruce & have a Great Week.
