Tell me how you like it!! The more feedback the better.

Yes the low end has some weird problem, extremely boomy when I play a low G, but that could be just my guitar.

These Axe-FX acoustic patches just keep getting better.

This. I don't see it replacing recorded acoustic guitar, but give me a 12-string patch like that, and I have to carry two less guitars to coverband gigs.

High praise!! Thank you man!

noodles: That's exactly what I'm going for, something that will convince people in a live scenario that it sounds like an acoustic. Some people already feel this way about the patch, though I definitely don't. Tomorrow gonna bang out some more time on the patch as yesterday was nuts and today was recovering with Netflix.

I will also try making a good 12-string acoustic patch, and 12-string electric patch too, so keep an eye out for that in the coming months. If you've got any tracks you can recommend that have a good isolated 12-string sound (or just very forward in the mix) send 'em my way, as I don't have a 12 string nor do I know anyone who does. I'm not well educated in the sound of one either, not enough to try and make a patch without a reference.

I'm pretty stuck in this patch lately, I can't seem to get it any closer than my v2 of the patch, which is just a small step up from v1... Anyone have any ideas?

Also, if anyone has any good isolated recordings of piezo pickups please let me know. It may be easier to tone match that than an actual acoustic.

I don't think you can download them though; let me enable that, so you can do whatever it is the Axe does. I dunno, I don't even have one.

You don't need to download it to let the Axe do what it does, but thanks, I appreciate it!
