Using an Ovation Elite single notes sound thin, direct box?

[RobbieTheK]

I have an Ovation Elite which usually sounds really good in any PA system. I'm using a Presonus Studio 24. When I play chords it sounds ok but when I try to do single note lines or little solos it sounds so thin. Will any of the plug-ins in the effects setting help? Isn't the JK signal highly compressed?

Will a direct box help? A Presonus employee claims it will. Anything else to try?

Any other suggestions?
