live sound ?

I have an Ovation Elite Special 1778. It sounds fairly decent just plugged into a PA system, but I am wondering what kind of signal processor or anything else that could make it sound better. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

what do those sonic maximizers actually do?

I've played with a band that uses them before. I'm not sure how they work, but the band showed me the difference between having it on and off, and it does make a difference.

A lot of bands live get kind of muddy, and the maximizer helps with that a lot.

I just bought one on the advice of buddy Tictacs.. I heard it being used at a Guitar Center down here.. they were running live DJ equipment through just to test it out.. They rep. cranked it with the Maixmizer off and the bass and mids got kinda scrambled, so it was a little muddy (now I can only tell the difference from this because he turned the Sonic Maximizer on) , when he did.. Woo, It was thumpin' clearly.

do they make those in non-rackmount versions?
