If I can run an instrument through pedals, I will, and my 5 string Wee Beastie is no exception. That being said, the only proper modulation effect I've used on mandolin is my '62 Princeton's bias...

I recently (saw up close) a Strymon Cloudburst used with an acoustic guitar, and now it's on the top of my wishlist. I'd never heard of "ambient reverb" before; it's impressive!
I'm running 10-48 on my 15" scale length 5 string right now. I was running a .046 C string because that's what came on it, but since then the maker has adjusted his recommended gauges to: 0.050,...
Douzat in the Charente departement. He's active on FB.
Cannonball and Nat in a similar groove, same year. Simpler tune though.

things i've looked for, no particular order:
headroom:
particularly if you're amplifying an 8 string (acoustic or electric), things get crunchy real fast with low powered things..10...
Have you looked at the Wilde Bill L45S? Bill Lawrence's wife and daughter are keeping his legacy alive. IIRC, I had one put in the Kentucky. The original install messed up the wiring harness, but the...
It may be that there is some foreign material or corrosion blocking the rotating contact(wiper) at the point where it turns off. Try some electrical contact cleaner and be careful to not spill any on...
Hi!
Not an expert, but took a deep dive into the electronics and wiring recently. :)
For the tone knob, could be the potentiometer taper (audio vs. linear) or it could be capacitor value.

Just bought a nice copy made in Missouri 1993205854205854
Before you spend bucks: That could be a bit disappointing.
(I'm discounting the effect of any intentional chorusing that you might have used.)
1- Just the fact that the amps ARE different...
As you plow that furrow, keep in mind that some pedals invert the phase of the signal.
For example, if you split the signal, run one side into an overdriven amp and the other through a compressor...
You have hit upon something I have thought about since I started playing with an E-mando. It is a significant idea.
I generally think of stereo as something done in the presentation of the show....
No, but I don't believe the e string necessarily has to be weak:

Greetings..... a quick "heads up"......
Following my retirement last year, I passed on my recipes and winder to Chris at Belvoir Guitars and he is now confident enough to offer them for sale...
A few weeks back, I posted a couple of pictures in the What’s on Your Bench thread, of the latest mandolin to leave my bench, a prototype nylon-strung, four string piccolo (sopranino) mandolin. For...
I think you got it right. EMG Ultrajak looks like the same strap button shape.
Is it perhaps an EMG Ultrajak that requires an allen wrench to loosen? Here's my experience with a Rigel with Ultrajak including photos....
A year or so ago I built an electric solid-body mandolin for my son. The body is solid birds-eye hard maple (thanks to Kettle Moraine Hardwoods). Neck is lamination of maple and cherry with a...
Just thought I'd drop in and share a couple photos of a recent (4-string) build, and say hello to the Cafe' forum folks. I haven't posted here for quite some time, but haven't forgotten about all the...
I use a large speaker, 15", when I play my electrics. I think it helps tame the high end.
An old Peavey Nashville 400 is my main amp currently. I primarily use this amp with a funk/jazz band that...
These videos were just posted by Eastwood on their YouTube Channel.

I have the “vibro” version, it dates from the late 70s and I bought it used not long afterwards. I hadn’t used it for years so decided to get it serviced and discovered that it had been fiddled with....
My fave pedal for eMando is my Pigtronix Envelope Phaser. I can get mine to sound like a trumpet!
I like a bit of delay and reverb under the tone then build from there.
I haven't seen it mentioned here, but Arthur was a friend to everyone in the mandolin world and a brilliant artist. He was a long time forum contributor and a fountain of knowledge and experience...
