    Re: Any new pedals for multi-instrumentalists?

    I just got a NUX Optima Air, what type of mic pre-amp & mic did you use?
    Most YouTube vids are guitar centric. I need to use mine for mandolin, bouzouki, tenor banjo & guitar. Mic placement seems to...

    Re: Are tenor guitars slightly evil?

    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...

    Re: Any new pedals for multi-instrumentalists?

    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...
  7. Re: Wireless? What are you using and how is it connected?

    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 &...
  8. Wireless? What are you using and how is it connected?

    What works best with piezo pickups? I want to connect my instruments with transducers to a wireless to a K & K pure direct box.

    Re: e mando vs. acoustic electric

    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...

    Re: Amplification Help

    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.

    Re: Reverb Pedals

    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?

    Re: Solo Acoustic Sound: Amp vs. PA

    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.
