Pickups and Systems
Fishman Aura
"If you want high gain, you would use all pickup and no mic on the blender."[1]
"You can have all pickup (no Aura sound image) or all Aura sound image (no pickup)... or blend them together in steps... The sound image is only 'one side'... if you look at it that way. If you blend to pickup only, you only hear the pickup... its like by-passing the Aura."
Owners Talking
There is a very interesting discussion[2] about pickups and preamp systems from D-Tar, Fishman, K & K, LR Baggs and others.

Acoustic Guitar and the Line6 Pod XTLive
As a starting point for acoustic guitar with the XT Live, be sure that the footswitch for 'Amp' is switched off. Even if you have 'No Amp' selected for a model, I found that it makes a world of difference when I bypass the whole Amp circuit this way. (Prior to discovering this, I couldn't get an uncolored acoustic sound to start with.) From Chuck-at-Bose[3]
