No, because Aura is not modeling, it’s imaging. Even though Fishman’s list of Aura images includes guitars, mandolins and other instruments they cannot be used to make your instrument sound like a different one.

To create Aura images, we record an instrument (as an example, a dreadnought 6-string acoustic) with several different studio microphones and the guitar’s Matrix undersaddle pickup, all at the same time. Each microphone output is compared to the pickup output using Aura algorithms, which identify the differences between the pickup sound and the microphone sound. This data is used to create the Aura images. If you play the dreadnought with the Matrix undersaddle through an Aura device with a specific image loaded, the Aura is able to recreate the sound of the high-quality studio microphone, using only the pickup signal. If you plug in a different guitar (a nylon string, for example) using the dreadnought Aura images, the nylon string guitar would not sound like a dreadnought guitar — it would just sound broken.

To find the correct and most sonorous Aura images for your guitar, we have created the Aura image library and desktop software. In conjunction with your Aura device, you can search and download images that match your particular instrument. By their very nature, many of these Aura images are compatible with many similar type instruments.
