Tonematch & jazz archtop

Recommendations please? I`m gonna run my Eddie Durham JX 17N [big fat single pickup archtop guitar] thru my Tonematch and, given that there are myriad great guitar settings in there to choose from, does anyone already have a definitive one for capturing that cool, full-sounding rhythm guitar vibe?
Many thanks!

Hi zatoichi,

Good to hear from you.

For my big jazz boxes I often set up like this:

Category: Electric Guitars
Preset: General Direct



or starting as above, then click the left-most button under the display to bypass the preset.



occasionally I use this



If you try these, please let me know what you think.


Is this your guitar?

Many thanks ST…solid advice as always and yep, that`s my guitar. What do you use in the way of EQ if any?

Hi zatoichi,

Your guitar looks like it was built to honor and probably sound like a Gibson L5.

When I’m playing this kind of guitar, I tend to leave the zEQ flat (bypassed), no effects, and just let the guitar do what it does.

I agree…I think the L5 was definitely the template and I also concur vis a vis zero EQ and effects, so I`ll just let the instrument shine through :]
Thanks again!
