Enhancing Ovation Gtr Sound In Digi001, Gtr sounds tinny and signal levels vary Options

[Tone]

Being VERY new to VST/Audio Recording I would firstly congratulate you on a helpful and informative forum. I am using the Digi001-MacG4/733-Korg Triton Le MWS at home in Shanghai. The budget is all but gone. Although the overall reults are satisfying I still cannot get a decent sound using my Ovation. The signals vary and the sound is tinny and unnatural no matter how much I adjust the controls on the plug-ins that came with the 001 (Delay etc). Is there an 'alternative' to further purchases of costly equipment to get some realistic gtr sounds into the songs - accoustic chord/rhythm as well as lead?. (As a Brit Expat the local options are impossible to track down).
Thanks again
Tony

the secret is to get a sound that you're pretty happy with before introducing plugins.
mics, mic placement, room characteristics, etc, all play a large part in getting a good acoustic guitar sound (i'm presuming you're recording the ovation via mic!
after looking at these issues, eq is always particularly necassary with acoustic guitars.
post some more info if you require more help, good luck...
