ELECTRIC AND ACOUSTIC
Global Settings: Set Input 2 Mode to “Left Only” under SETUP: I/O: Audio
Presets: Custom
This setup is provided for those who wish to use the FM3 to process an electric guitar and an acoustic guitar
at the same time. It also works for guitars equipped with dual output from magnetic and piezo pickups. Special
presets containing the Input 2 block are required as illustrated below. For this setup, the electric and acoustic
signals are combined into one stereo output, but if you learn to use Input and Output blocks effectively, this will
open other options such as different guitars appearing at different outputs.
See the Blocks Guide for more information.
CONNECTIONS
Connect your electric guitar to
FM3 Input 1 (Instrument).
Connect your acoustic guitar (or the piezo side
of your electric) to FM3 Input 2 L. Set Input 2
Mode to “LEFT ONLY” under SETUP: I/O: Audio.
Connect FM3 Output 1 to your PA, mixer, or
monitors as you would in any other “direct” setup.
Create a preset as shown below where IN 1 is the
electric guitar and IN 2 is the acoustic/piezo.
Compressor and EQ blocks are a great
way to add level and tone controls to
your acoustic or piezo signal.
Note that in the example, the two chains
are sharing a reverb block, which sounds
great and is also economical. It is also
possible to share many other blocks.
If you wanted the acoustic to go to its
own output, you could insert the output
2 block and connect to that instead.
A basic starting template is provided in
factory preset 380: “Mag & Piezo FM3”
