Mark.... You are probably referring to the dual mic settings... you can adjust the spread of the mics to avoid the "early single reflection" sound you are probably referring to. When this is set too wide, the effect is a bit intense on solo acoustic, though can work much better in a mix. I find the sound very inspiring... and it can make a dull guitar sound so much better. It makes my Martin DM, which everyone who's hears it says it sounds wonderful, (blows away Taylors and Guilds and others which cost twice as much) sound even better.... Oh sure, a pair of great mics in a great space with a good engineer to help judge mic placement is better.... but for live use feeding my JamMan or single-man recording, I love it, and not just because my last name is Yamaha... My acoustic setup: Martin DM > AG Stomp > JamMan > Peavey Kosmos > Hafler TA1600 > custom JBL and EV cabs > RCA subwoofer (from Kosmos sub out) Check out the reviews at Harmony Central including my overly verbose pos-rant..... http://www.harmony-central.com/Effects/Data/Yamaha/AG_Stomp-01.html -- gary @friendlyspider.com Mark Hamburg wrote: > I'm interested in Gary's comments in praise of the AG Stomp.
