I have done all I could, it seems, to research with out asking, and can’t be sure of a solution. So here I am and here it is. Your basic “feedback” inspired problem.
I play in a loud “rock” band. In it is 2 guitars, base, harp, sax, vocals, flute (sometimes), mandolin, and drums (not mic’d). I play the lm700 loar mandolin (thanks Robert F!) with an ATM350 pro clipped to a tone guard. This goes into an AC90 roland (I love this amp!).
On a large stage, this works ok. But in practice, and some stage areas, there is feedback. I do understand the dynamics of this situation, as the ATM350 is a highly sensitive condenser mic. I am sure some reading are laughing a little at the fact I have a condenser mic of this sort in a band like this, and I think it’s not the best choice either. However, this was the purchase I made back when trying to keep up and appease the band that kept getting bigger and louder. I feel I need to change the mic set up. Something that is the best option for tighter space with lots of volume.
Any ideas or testimonials will help alot. Hope this thread helps others too.
Thanks all!
P.S. I play BG with old timers too, so drilling holes and adding on-board stuff may cost me my life if they ever saw it happen BUT please leave it as a suggestion if it's a good option as it may help someone else problem solve this similar issue.
