J45TV + pure mini + para di

Recommended Posts

hi,

i finaly managed to amplify my J45TV qith a sound i like...

i remove the M1A and put a K&K pure mini, i use my para di and found that the sound is great...

don't feel the impedance mismatch everybody talk about... i should try another preamp to be sure...

anyway, i put a 250K ernie ball volume in the effect loop... totally transparent volume, very usable..

 

the para di setting is

gain at 9 oclock

low at 2 oclock

pres at 2 oclock

all the rest at noon

(found those setting on an old post and found it sounds quite good, the bass stays very precise...)

 

i use a 1962 Fender Tremolux with a 1962 reverb stand alone...

this setup is great...

will try to use a PA and report how it sounds...

anyway, i'm very happy i can use my TV amplified...

for what it's worth...

I have a 2007 J-45TV with the K&K mini system. I have a Baggs Venue DI. I used to have the Baggs Para DI and I loved it. Is there anyone out there with this guitar and pickup system the uses a Venue DI? I would like to know what your settings are.

i can't comment on the venue, but i read that the K&K has a strong output and you have to watch out the gain... not too much... i tried to put the gain at 0 as adviced, the low strings are tight, but i think they deserve a little gain (up to 9 oclock)

I use a K & K with an Ultrasound DI an get a great result. Excellent impedance match up and lots of flexibility. Can't beat K & K in my book. I'm playing a J45 TV also.

RB, do you use it at gigs?? how's the feedback sensibility? i wondered if i need to buy a soundhole cover...

 

anyway, i hate the piezo quack, the M1A didn't give justice to this guitar, i'm a happy K&K user...
