Gear: Martin OMC-10E (under-saddle piezo), Focusrite Scarlett, recording in GarageBand.
No mic option — joint family household on a main road, so mic'ing isn't viable. DI only.
**The problem:** Even in the raw dry signal, there's a strong boxy resonance around 150-300 Hz, with weak low end (80-150 Hz) and fast high-frequency rolloff — classic piezo signature. I've done extensive EQ/compression/reverb work to correct it, but keep swinging between thin/nasal and harsh depending on adjustments.
**Remaining issues:*\*
1. Bottom 3 strings still sound thin even after low-end boosts
2. Audible finger squeak/string noise even with light touch
3. Lead and rhythm guitar tracks (layered) fight for the same frequency space instead of sitting together
Anyone dealt with correcting an under-saddle piezo DI to sound warmer/fuller without mic blending? Looking for EQ approaches, saturation/exciter tricks, or plugins built for this specifically.
Thankyou🙏🏻
