problem with DI'ing 12 string guitar
      18/05/12 09:16 AM
Hi I am doing the sound for a small community festival this week-end.
One of the bands is a blues duo - who also played last year.
The guitarist has two electro acoustic guitars a 6 string and a 12 string. For the performance we used a Di - however although we could get a good signal from the 6 string - there appeared to be no output from the 12 string - as time was tight - after checking all settings and connections - we just went with using the 6 string for the set.
After the show I did ask the guitarist whether the pick-up on the 12 string was different - but he did not know.

I wonder if someone could spread some light on this - could it be to do with the type of pick-up on the guitar that caused the signal to be negligible when Di'd?

Again this year there will be little time - as we only ahve time for a sound check with the main band - we just have to heard the others on ( including groups of school kids)and off and run with it.

Many thanks

Nick
