I am trying out a Roland 40XL. It seems to meet my requirements for weight, volume, and versatility. It is a good little amp for use with solid and thinline guitars. But I find it is quite "honky" with used with my flat top and hope that some one may have a solution.
My flattop is a Tanglewood TW45n-DLX-FC4 acoustic electric. It has a Fishman Classic 4 preamp and I removed the piezo and replaced it with a LR Baggs iBEAM transducer pickup (Mac's suggestion). I have tried turning off all the effects particularly the delays and reverbs and gains and running the amp clean as it has that capability. I have also tried the guitar on the black face amp. The amp works great with my Strat, Godin, Tele, 335, and 175. I appreciate that it is designed as an electric guitar amp but I am wondering if there is any mod or pedal I could buy to make the flat top sound a little more palatable?Thanks for any suggestions.
