It is a generally accepted fact that the best way of capturing the sound of an acoustic guitar is done using a dynamic or condenser microphone. However, in live situations where the sound level on stage can be loud it is not advisable to only use these types of microphone. If conditions allow it, a combination of an active* piezo system and a microphone may be the perfect solution. This scenario is handled perfectly with G-Natural.

Connections

•Connect the output of your guitar’s piezo pickup to the instrument input of G-Natural

•Connect the microphone to the mic input of G-Natural

•Connect L/R outputs to a mixer or to a dedicated acoustic guitar amp

WARNING! When connecting the G-Natural outputs to microphone inputs on a mixing console, the phantom power for these channels MUST be switched off! Otherwise you may damage the G-Natural circuits.

Basic settings

•If the connected microphone is a condenser type, phantom power must be switched on

•Set input sensitivity via the levels menu.

•Select active effect pressing the COMP, MOD, DELAY and REVERB switches

•G-Natural features separate EQ and compression settings for mic and instrument inputs

*If the pickup system requires the use of a battery the system is active.
