Acoustic Guitar
Internal microphones (blender systems) and feedback: You may have to turn off the internal microphone: Not an an issue unique to the Bose Systems, but an issue when playing at significant volumes.

Pickups and Systems
Fishman Aura [1]
"If you want high gain, you would use all pickup and no mic on the blender."
"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."

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' seleceted 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.)
