Hey Brian, like always I want to say that love your videos. I just wanted to let you know that I’d like to see more acoustic guitar content on your channel please!!
Would these IR’s work with the PRS hollow body piezo guitars through the helix to give an authentic acoustic sound? Thinking of the magpie patch you all made. Thanks!
You could definitely use them in that capacity. They're designed to work with a piezo system. We did an acoustic IR specifically for the PRS Hollow body piezo with the MagPie preset as well.
Also, what pick thickness do you use? These sound great! However, with this one and your other IR packs, to me it sounds like there is too much of the sound of the pick hitting the strings. Like too much separation rather than all the strings blending together when you strum. Clarity is great, but I just wish there was a bit more cohesiveness in the sound when strumming.
I use .88mm picks from McPherson. It's the same as the green Tortex picks, I believe. But the McPherson picks have 3 different corners, and I like to use the rounder/wider corner. I find it has a softer attack.
Acoustic IR's are inherently much quieter than EG/cab IR's, so you'll just have to crank the level at some point in the chain. It's normal for acoustic IR's, though.
The difference is like day and night! Such sweet tones!
You should do a video on your process for making acoustic IR packs. Would be interesting to see.
Sounds awesome - this will be a great add to my worship guitar palette!

Can you make a video showing how to setup the X,Y stereo configuration
on a Helix
Will do!

In tonex the irs drop the volume drastically. Has anyone else experienced this and has a solution? WT has great stuff so it could be user error

That Gibson has too many pickguards and not enough holes in the top.
