does anyone have this same set up ? if so i'd like to know what setting you are using on the roland, I seem to just stay in the accoustic setting with about 1/3 reverb and maybe just a touch of chorus.
I have the eleuke knobs both at around 50% to 60% and the tone on the roland at about the same.
Whenever I flick that selector swith around to the other setting I just cant get a nice sound out of it, I'm thinking perhaps I need to start messing with the gain as well because the volume seems to increase by heaps on anything but accoustic.
I love the eleuke but the roland has always been kinda dissapointing, for one thing the C string is just really boomy whatever setting I use (which may be a string thing but it seems more like the pick up in the eleuke is a bit imbalanced and heavy at the C string frequencys.
The guy at the local music shop suggested I take it in and spend a morning plugging it in to all the different amps in the store and experimenting with it so that is on the cards for sometime soon.
It's a bummer though because like i say i really love the way the Eleuke plays and feels but I am getting totally frustrated at the amp side of things, consequently the Eleuke stays in its gig bag way too much of the time.
Also, it is a bit buzzy, seems to be an earth problem, i wanted to use the small headphone jack as an out because then i could send 2 channels to the mixer or have fake stereo in the editing software so i could just throw a stereo expansion filter on it, but when i do that i get this really bad earth buz if my wrist or arm touches the main 3/4 inch jack.
So I have got a work around where i go mono / big jack out and into the roland then use the rolands headphones out jack to send stereo to the mixer.
it's all very confusing, I just want to plug in and go but it seems way more fiddly than that and I'm losing it... lol
thanks in advance for any tips or advice.
