Those Fishman undersaddle pickups are always pretty iffy sounding IMO. Take a look at the K&K Pure Western Mini set up, it’s basically three bridgeplate bugs, gets a fair amount of love, should sound nice through the Baggs. Yep, steer clear of the clip-on mics. Personally I use a soundhole magnetic and eq it to death but that’s not for everyone.

Anyone have any particular experience re making acoustic guitars sound as nice as possible when playing out through a PA? Full disclosure, I have a very limited understanding of guitar tech/sound tech/any tech. I have a little Tanglewood parlour (https://www.tanglewoodguitars.co.uk/product/twjpe/) that I use for gigs. I really like it - I like the size and the bright tone, it does everything I need for bluegrassy/folky stuff. But, I'm not that happy with the sound I'm getting when playing it live. I'm putting it through a LR Baggs acoustic DI which is a big improvement and I'm sure I can get some more control/enhancement from that. But, I still feel that the raw signal from the entry-level Fishman electronics must be improvable. Looks like ~£350 for a decent step-up in pick-up/preamp etc, anything else anyone would recommend? Decent clip-on mic an option work thinking about or just a pain in the arse re feedback etc?
Cheers
