Blackface/Silverface type Fender amps are surprisingly flattering to piezo amplified acoustic instruments. I think it's a combination of the broad midrange dip in the preamp (centred around 500Hz)...

RedEye makes a two instrument pre, which would simplify your setup, most likely need only one tuner too.

I also came across this two-channel pre: EBS Stanley Clarke Acoustic Preamp. It was designed for upright bass, but could certainly be used for any acoustic instruments. MSRP is about $140 less than...

A surprisingly elegant solution, IMO. Thomann sells these Artec pedals for $US 41, though shipping is expensive.

Hey Craig,
I wrote about this a bit in an older post:

Took it to the local dealer and had the tech do it. He didn't indicate anything other than an easy swap.

I have been "breaking in" My El Rey for a few months and have been using the same picks (Wegen and Thiele). I did discover one thing while using other picks: while I like the feel of the more...

Hi fellow mandolin lovers. For some sort of continuity I've decided to start this thread to post my videos.Most all my music is done here in my kitchen. Low tech. Tascam DR07 mk-ll, no effects, for...

I switched the stock ones out for some Grovers... 409s?

I had to move the shafts on the tuners (short ones to long ones, etc,) and drill one new hole for each side, but no holes show and they work...

I replaced the original Pingwell tuners mostly because I didn't like their look. My violin finish MDC 805 has an ebony fretboard and the ebony cover on the tailpiece with gold colored hardware. I...

First of all, I'm not much of a craftsman, so I needed something really easy. And I found it by sheer luck: I converted my Germany-built 1972 Framus Studio archtop to a four-string a few months back....

Mr fox has had good results with old Harmony guitars. These usualy have a non adjustable truss rods so the neck has plenty of wood left. He may have started from scratch on the neck in this video.

I have had success plugging tuner holes and veneering both sides of the peg head for tuner changes. I have had guitar necks break off at the peg head after slimming down. A first step would be to...

'Scuse my ignorance, but can someone advise who I might listen to for interesting electric mandolin playing? I'm talking about electric as in 'electric guitar', rather than 'amplified'. I had a...

I was listening to this song today and decided to do a full transcription in both standard notation (which I find easier to read) and tab. The recorded versions differ (minorly) in different spots,...

I play in a 6 person (sometimes 7) band with one or two loud electric guitars, a drummer, percussionist, and bassist at least (line up can vary a bit). I use a Newson mandolin with a K&K pickup...

Thanks Jim. I’ll be happy to post the file in Bass Clef here later. I have one more Mandocello method book. It’s not nearly as nice as this one, but I’m considering transcribing into Dorico for...

Hey all, I'm trying to start a mandolin discord page. I'd appreciate it if anyone joined - being able to show off/ help others via voice or video, get help/help others with tips and general...

ITS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR MIKE'S OUT THERE ( CHRIS THILE ,RONNIE MCCOURY AND MANY OTHERS) THE PROBLEM IS ... IT HAS ONE BIG STUPID ALLIGATOR CLIP. HERE'S WHAT YOU DO..... ORDER THE VIOLIN CLIP FOR...

Just a few observations from experience:

Compressors are one of my favorite tools for bringing "forward" an instrument during the mixdown phase of a recording. It's also essential to mastering,...

If you want to use compressor on mandolin, I would recommend the Barber Tone Press. It has a setting for fast FET compression and a blend knob for doing parallel compression. What that means is that...

I've been using the L.R.Baggs Session Acoustic DI with good results.

New! and Improved! Whiter! Brighter! Longer-lasting!

...no, seriously, I cleaned up some of those transitions I missed on the first pass. Also here's the version I took it from:
