I just picked up a barely used Voiceprint D.I. and am learning the nuances of the pedal. This has been a very good video for helping me learn the tone-shaping EQ features. Thank you.
Once, I was working a show where all acoustic guitars were amazing vintage Gibsons/Martins and at one point a guitar was plugged in where I could tell the difference in quality. Then I asked the fella what was his guitar? That's when he told me his secret was an L.R.Baggs D.I. Now, this product is even more amazing!
Bravo for using a looper for establishing your plugged-in tone. Even for regular signal chains (not using IRs), this is really crucial. Many players don't appreciate how much just having the acoustic bleed from the guitar, and even the feeling of it resonating against your body, corrupts your ability as a player to hear what's really coming out of a PA or amp.
Can you record a VoicePrint of an acoustic and use that IR with a Piezo bridge pickup in a different or even a solid body electric guitar, like the LR Baggs T-Bridge and Ctrl-X?
I use the Fishman Aura sixteen which works well on my Martin E style guitars and cuts out that awful quack attack from the pickup...............................
Great, quality video review however and playing. Not intending to be super negative. Just seems weird that the software adds nothing, then it’s essentially just an EQ? Surely?
How are you looping that strum “live” to play with the eq settings? I just got this Voiceprint pedal. Can’t figure out how to do that. It’s hard to play and stop to tweak settings and have to start playing again…help
for $400, the final sound output is just BARELY usable. doug's playing and demos are amazing, as always. but there is no way this sounds anywhere close to even a decent mic on stage.
Hey….that was somewhat helpful, but why didn’t you include a recording of the guitar through a mic in the room to show us how your guitar sounds acoustically for a comparison? Without that info, it really is only a demonstration of the pedal as an eq processor, and leaves the reason for buying it as expressed in the promotional info, and the reason so many of us might be interested …unexplored. No gold star for you. POOH!
This is mental. Just get an EQ pedal. The recording automation made it sound terrible vs the inbuilt pickup sound. Then you have to EQ it back to roughly where you started. Bonkers. A good mixing desk will have all the EQ capabilities you could need. Comes down to ears. A silly, unnecessary product.
