The sound I heard was from a guy who had a combination of an old LR Baggs transducer and a Joe Mills mic. They were both wired thru a 9 volt battery and the Joe Mills was subject to the LR Baggs 3 band eq, but had it's own volume knob. Ahead of the Baggs, I presume. Then he had the whole system through a Rain 31 band mono to the board. Cleanest, fullest, most 'acoustically true' sound I've ever heard. Like Martin Simpson, only w/t high end a little softer.

When I get back to touring I'm going to add the Joe Mills to the Baggs in the Rainsong JM1000...only I think I'll skip the Rain eq and invest in a Boss inline tuner instead. ;-}
