"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."

~~Check out the tips from Chuck-at-Bose~~

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.)

: This page has a collection of sound samples that capture and compare the sounds of different acoustic guitar pickups. The approach is to record each pickup, directly into a digital recorder, so that you can hear what the pickup itself sounds like. Although I was originally inspired to create these tests by web posts where people asked about using pickups for home recording, It's important to understand that pickups are best suited for live performance. Most people will agree that pickups cannot compete with a good microphone for serious recording. At the same time, many people would like to use pickups for home recording, both as a convenience, and as a way to avoid the need for a good sounding room, expensive microphones, isolation from noises, and so on.
