winstondog1 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hi - new to the forum. I'm having problems with my J45 Custom (2010) - the terrible quacking sound. I use either a Bose L1 Compact or the Fishman Soloamp on my gigs. The noise is there with either pa. I don't have this problem when I use my other guitar (starts with an M) I'm thinking of removing the Baggs Element and trying a K&K - any thoughts? The guitar sounds great unplugged - but the rumbling on the low end and the quack is very noticeable. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Morton Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 It sounds like the gain may be too much? Perhaps you are clipping a little. The K&K is a perfectly fine PU and so is the Baggs just different. if you have too much bass rumble take some low end out of the mix or scoop the mids a little. I have the Compact as well and it seems that I am hearing to much bass when i am near the system but it sound fine in the room. this is usually because you are possibly because the PA is against a wall or in a corner to save space. Just some thoughts JM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duluthdan Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Im thinking about putting the Amulet system in my J45. Let us know if you do that ! I have a guitar equipped with a Highlander that is just crying out for the Amulet. Let us know how the install goes - have heard that is extremely "key". The dreaded under-saddle quack. Gotta get a DI box, and dial it in. Para-Acoustic is pretty standard, and pretty good, but ya gotta dial it in. I play 4 different guitars thru the same DI, and the settings are different for every guitar - and 2 have the same Highlander pickups in them.
