Yeah, I agree with that. I'm sure it's been discussed often enough on this
mailing list, but I'll mention it again. The most important thing with any
instrument is your personal tone. You ought to do most of your practicing
acoustically to develop a true tone. For the same reason, you'll never see
any good guitarist practicing through the amp. I think it's true that
developing your mic technique is important but, like I said, your acoustic
tone is a much higher priority.

So in short, if you don't have good acoustic tone, you will never ever
ever sound good no matter what rig you play through and how many absurd
effects you pile on.

 It's garbage in, garbage out.

Those are just my thoughts.
