Good sound with clip-on mic?
Jez Tan

Hi, I have a Gitane DG-255 and a decent Audio Technica ATM-15a clip-on mic fed into a PODXT Live (for EQing). I understand that the guitar sounds very undesirable with the mic alone, and some EQ does wonder, but there's this persistent air-sound that just doesn't sound professional when played live (ala cd recordings or any decent build-in pickups), not to mention that the feedback is horrendous. Anyone who encountered this problem b4 and has got any valuable tips for me? I position the mic near the bridge under the B string and secured it using bluetag. Exasperated!
Tough time doesn't last, tough man does. Practice!

acoustic instruments. It's used for plugging in an electric guitar
(with magnetic pickups) definitely not a microphone.
Even if you were to run a piezo pickup into an acoustic preamp
(Baggs/Fishman) then into the PODXT, the sound would be inferior IMO.
I would run the mic or a piezo into an "acoustic" amp or a PA.
You should place an acoustic preamp between pickup & PA.
