tc electronic BodyRez

I'm using this pedal with my Matin 000rs1. I was always a bit unsatisfied with the plugged in sound of the otherwise great guitar. The Bodyrez helps to make the pre installed Fishman Sonitone piezo system sound more rich and acoustic, just like TC promises.

I think the pedal sounds best turned almost all the way to the max - it seems that the Bodyrez is tweaking the EQ and adding some subtle compression to the overall sound. Not a big difference on the lower settings but really softens the sound when turning the knob a bit more. The mute function is handy too. Haven't had a need to use the feedback supression fuctionality yet, as I'm cutting the unwanted frequencies with my pre-amp/DI. I tried running the Bodyrez both first in the signal chain as well as in the effects loop of the pre-amp: both work extremely nicely.

I have also been running a magnetic soundhole pickup (as well as magnetic + piezo blended) to the pedal - sounds absolutely great! This will be a pedal to keep in my acoustic set up! Worth the money for sure!

I have been using the BodyRez for a while now, and it is really a nice add-on for the acoustic. Especially live, when you don't necessarily have the option to split the signal to tweak the eq / rig to tweak as variedly.
In the studio I might prefer splitting the signal to get a wet/dry effect to tweak the sound myself, but that I haven't tested yet.
One thing that I would consider beeing either good or bad is that there is only on control for what the box does. It is of course a simple as it can be, but at the same time I don't have as much control over what is happening to the guitars signal.
But considering the price/sound ratio compared to buying stuff that does the same (presuming one can do the work with them / is pleased with what TC crew thinks you should be doing), this is dead simple.
Anyhows, this does make a piezomicced acoustic sound more natural, and I do think this is a good thing.
