| Hi everyone, I'm a guitarist from Spain and I really like Ovations, so I'm glad I found this forum, I've been reading you all for a while with attention :)
Please excuse my english... I'll do my best and I think you will understand me :p
The thing is, I have a problem with my new VXT, one of the best guitars I have never played, by the way. The problem is that the strings are unbalanced in voluem in the acoustic mode, and since I play very soft tunes in fingerstyle, this is really annoying.
Opposite than it usually occur with the piezos in solid body guitars, the G string is the least powerful, and the high E string is the loudest, and there is a big difference between the two being picked with the same strenght. Then the A string is a little louder than de Low E, and so on...
I wonder if there is a way of balancing the volumes of the strings. It must be a way for sure, but the only answer I got from the ovation support is to send back my guitar to the distributor... and since it's in Germany, and they probably send it to the USA to check, I guess I'd be at least a couple months without the guitar, and I'd like to avoid that.
So, I opend the cover of the electronics in the back, and I found a couple of things that are tweakable, only I don't know what effect it would have. Also I found a micro-usb port, that I bet I could plug to my computer and, with the appropiate software, balance the piezo output volumes, like I can do in my Line 6 Variax. Only problem is, I doubt they would send me the software any time soon...
Perhaps anyone could help me with this problem? I'd really thank you big time. |
