Cuki79 « The sound of your guitar »
Published on 11/25/10 at 11:59The electro-acoustic guitars equipped with a piezo sound a bit like always amplified. We hear so-called piezo quack, who is the buzz that corresponds to the nasal virata ropes. We hear very clearly with a sharp attack. This sound is typical of piezos mounted in the bridge (on the bone). Indeed, the piezo pick up only the vibration of the strings and not that of the table, or the air around. Image attached (To view, simply click on the little Mona Lisa next to the title of the notice and then see at the very end of the article) you can see the comparison between the recorded sound by SM58 and the sound of a piezo. The sound of the SM58 shows the vibration further and much wider resonance of the table while the piezo captures the violent vibrations of the strings (hence the nasal sound).
Aura pedal corrects this effect by simulating a sound recording by a microphone.
But beware, the Aura is much more than that. Indeed, pictures of the Aura have been produced from real guitars and real microphones ... By using the software Image Gallery III, you can download the image that corresponds to its own skyscraper. When you are lucky (like me) to find the image of his guitar, one can simulate the natural sound of his own guitar. On the second image (green), I compare a recording of my guitar SM57 and image of the Aura out of the pedal: It's not bluffing? It's almost like there are more and larger pics!
UTILIZATION
Usage is super simple. You just choose the level of mixing between the image and sound of the piezo as a function of your game
I have not managed to download the latest images to Picture Gallery but I do not care because my guitar was provided in the starting library.
Note: By entering, images that do not match your guitar can also be good surprises (even if 90% of the time it failed)
SOUNDS
it rocks. It's the sound of your guitar. Different microphones can have different EQ (which correspond to the responses of microphones: + / - warm, bright ...). It's very late.
NB: Personally, I will not use it as a pedal EQ ...
NB2: Like others, I feel we lose a little pattate (nothing serious). For treatment, they must also compress the sound, so we lose the momentum ... for the purists it may seem a crime. Folkeux for walks and other players ...
OVERALL OPINION
If the image of your guitar is in their database, it is really a pedal to have.
on the other hand, if you want to change the electro sound of your guitar: Go away. The Aura does not change the sound of your guitar. He makes a little flesh, a little body and the soft sound of piezos. This is not an effects pedal in the traditional sense.
If your sound piezo is rotten, well you'll always have a lousy sound. Then you need another mic, another guitar or a great equalizer ... If you want to use it as a "stomp" it must, in my opinion, have the sound the piezo + neutral as possible ... But in my opinion as to buy a Mama Bear at D-TAR.
PS: Nine is still expensive. I had a super price OCCAZ because the guy who sold it to me was super nice.
