How do I get a great acoustic guitar tone with my ECS-410 Everest?

Acoustic Guitar: turn master output level and drive level all the way down to get initial levels
TouchPatch: Pre-DriveBus
Preamp:
Gain around 12:00, so orange LEDS just start lighting at loudest notes
Pad 0, polarity +, 48V on for condenser off for dynamic or ribbon mics,
HPF off, output Solid State
If you hear distortion even though the meter is not lighting red, turn on the pad switch
DriveBus:
tube mode, Output to 10, set drive level to get recording level
(Variations: insert the compressor [TouchPatch Pre-Dyn-DriveBus], Tight mode
Gain +5, Threshold 4, so 1-3 lights on meter light, attack 2 and release 4.4)
