acoustic tapping?

[boiboi]

Hi! I'm wondering if any of you know how to set up a (steel string) acoustic for tapping. When I tap the notes are super soft. I know it's not my technique as i tap fine on an electric. Any advice on how to set up the guitar to have louder tapped notes? thanks.

timothy over at living strings uses a very very gd technique at accoustic tapping...he's the man to look for if you are looking to learn that area....

Need to amplify and add a slight compression to get good results. Tapping really hard and clean will only yield so much, but plugiing it into a compressor and then into and amp will get it done much better.
