I love Godin guitars, they have something different and authentic. I love them, in some way Godin guitars have helped me focus more in my music instead of iconic images. They make my creative process more transparent and easier.

I'm a full time acoustic soloist. Everything from Arlo Guthrie to 311. I have an A6 Denim Blue Flame and I do use a TC Electronic BodyRez pedal (which, or an equivalent, is a MUST for any transducer guitar) to give body to the transducer.

It's hard to get a "working man's" tone from this instrument. If I were a jazz man or a big band guy, it would be simpler. Warm and clean or warmer and soft.

But I need to go from strum to lead instantly. I have a Taylor T5 Custom, a Guild S7CE Peregrine, and have used a Crafter SA in the past as well. They are all more gig friendly right out of the box. All three of them are very forgiving. Not the A6 (The crafter SA was the best of the bunch as far as flexibility but I sold it). I need flexibility. IT's not practical to make these kind of adjustments on the fly ON the instrument.

Here's my setting that works for me:
First off, the OEM humbucker is WAAAAY too big and boomy for this guitar. It's the biggest design flaw in my opinion. A 20k or less HB would have been AWESOME. I buried it down in the body as deeply as I could, with the high side slightly higher.

My "on guitar" settings:

Humbucker: Bass all the way down, treble all the way up. Volume at about 65%
Piezo: Bass at 37%, treble at 40%, mids at about 60%, and volume at max.

On my mixer I have the bass at 11 and the treble at about 12:30. I turn the TC BodyRez pedal off when soloing. It reduces compression and brings back some of the mids and gives a different voice which you want.

This guitar can be terrible or awesome, but the settings are crucial, and the good sounds are counter intuitive on the controls to what one would think reasonable. Those crazy Canadians. :/

Thanks very much! You answered some questions I've had about the 2 outputs, the blending of the pickups, etc. Nice playing too!

That is one great looking and sounding "Telecaster looking" guitar! (LOVE that TELE look!!). Love the idea that the control buttons don't get in the way of strumming. Very nice...and I'm proud to say that it's made in Quebec! Congratulations to Mr. Godin and his team. ;-) :-)

I'm a guitar collecter and I love my A6 Ultra, I play in a a Church Worship Team and my mates just love the tones I can get through a Fishman Loudbox. This guy is using a Fender Princeton Reverb, I have one of these also but have never teamed it up with the A6 Ultra. With The Fishman even the Humbucker shines. They're beginning to get rather expensive though, people are starting to really notice them. A hidden gem for too long. The only issue issue with them is the preamp, a bit fiddly at times when you want to alter your tone midway through a piece but practice with it does help matters.

Please explain how you are using a volume pedal as a blender... can you show and demonstrate your rig. Interested in this guitar and the ability to have a rhythm voice and lead channel for solo performances. Thanks...
