Not my experience exactly, but I find that my very inexpensive Goldtone tenor has become my inspiration machine and my go to, so...in essence yes, but I came from guitar originally so perhaps that...
Be aware that “insurance” does not necessarily mean what you think. Fed Ex lost an electric bagpipe chanter that I had sold on eBay a couple years ago. It was such a pain to resolve that I have...
Jim Kozel on the Westside, Ken Lesko of Rainbow guitar near Tallmadge I believe, also Dave Rice at Gitter Picker in Twinsburg, and Woodsys in Kent and Medina. I have personal experience with all of...
I stand corrected. 🙄 It’s great to have choices.
To answer your question, no. I have been using a K&K Pure preamp (the one w/ eq) and switch between Mandolin, Tenor banjo & Bouzouki. I’ve been looking for exactly what you describe, and I just...
Thank you all for your input, much appreciated. I am planning to check out a Line6 G50 this weekend and will post my progress.
I do switch between a National mando with a hot plate pick up, or a K &...
What works best with piezo pickups? I want to connect my instruments with transducers to a wireless to a K & K pure direct box.
Note quite sure how/where to repost this:

Hi Len,
See thread: http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?66855-Godin-A8-low-end-drone-feedback-hum-only-on-the-open-G-strings.
I figured that this was a one off issue with this...
I had a Godin A8, but now use a Weber with a K&K through a Pure XLR preamp.
To get the best sound out of any transducer I have ever played you need a preamp.
From the preamp into a mixer into a...
I wish I had done this years sooner. The only thing you are missing if you do this is effects, but I never use them on mandolin.
I have a 15 year old Petersen level 2. The strap button on the heel is in the same location as Bertram's. I don't know if it is original, but it works. The only caveat is that since the zouk is neck...
I agree with Pribar, cut your losses and don't throw good money after bad. I wish I had learned that lesson much earlier myself. Worst case you can list it as a wall hanger decoration. I have sold...
I have a twin spot K&K going through a K&K pure. I find that if we don't have the signal hot enough it can sound very thin. Maybe try some different strings?
Begs the question...and what does a pirate look for in a wench?
"I would have never taken this gig if I'd known I'd have to play w/ a bodhran"
"Well, at least he's not mic'd"
I have an Aspen1, & love it. I have never met an Eastman mandolin that could compare. I also play many styles, but not much BG. I would note however that I have played many Eastman guitars that I...
I can't vouch for that particular product, but I did recently purchase a 12 channel non-powered board from Carvin that I am very pleased with. Lot's of functionality for the money.
Hi Ed, likewise I do not play solo but with a 2-5 piece acoustic. I have used a variety of amps, but now go through a K&K pure into a Bose L2, sometimes through a small mixer. A small PA is way more...

Being in an Irish folk group, St. Patrick's day (and usually the entire week before) are the big money makers. We used to do 3, 3 hour gigs, but we have since scaled back to 2 shows although the last...
I think that your recording device may be picking up the acoustic as well as the amplified sound. Love Vox amps too! Something about that clear chimey ringing sound...
Instruments are not jealous, you may have as many as you are able to afford, (hmm, an interesting parallel). You say house full of instruments like that would be a bad thing? Btw, I also have a...
