    Re: Dillion mandolins?

    With a decent set up they are a fair value for the money. I had the 335 style for a while.

    Re: Dillion mandolins?

    I've checked them out online a few times but nothing in person. They appear to be what they are and aside from setup and maybe electronics work should be fine if the price is right.

    Re: What's GDAE and audible in a session?

    National RM-1 mandolin. No problem being heard and they can be quite expressive.

    Re: Big Muddy Morning

    Nice! My first mandolin was a Mid-Missouri M0. I still have it, and this makes me want to pull it out. I've been focusing on the Gibson Snakehead I bought last year, but I learned a lot on that M0. I...

    I have an M-11 that I really love. I would have to say it is the least finicky instrument in my stable. Stays in tune forever, great intonation, doesn't require any special considerations to sound...

    I too often play guitar and mandolin however, interestingly enough, I plug into the same channel and then I can just tweak the tone knob for EQ. It takes a second to tweak the tone knob and the...

    Monte is correct, The Fishman Loudbox amp's instrument channel has the preamp built in. I would try going straight to the amp first and see how it sounds. It may end up being the most natural...

    Re: Preamp VS Booster Pedal

    You will not be sorry with the Red Eye. I always recommend the Red Eye Twin as it has more features and allows silent tuning by switching to the unused channel.

    At $295 its a steal. I had a Grace...

    Re: Preamp VS Booster Pedal

    Any circuit that gives some kind of EQ is important. I find myself adjusting a bit in different venues.

    My favorite is the Tech 21 Q-Strip EQ and Preamp Pedal

    If you have a transducer you need a preamp with a million ohms input impedance. If your instrument has a battery and volume controls it can go straight into most anything as it has a preamp already....

    Re: Preamp VS Booster Pedal

    I have an older Loudbox, and it does amplify the K&K inside my MD-515 nicely. That said, IMO piezos will always be well served by sculpting the sound with a good preamp and EQ. I used to love my old...

    Re: Preamp VS Booster Pedal

    Because impedance is not really a resistive measurement it takes a special meter to measure it. That's why I say to look it up in the technical specs. 43K is not high enough. The Fishman loudbox uses...

    A "preamp" is generally for matching the ultra-high impedance of the pickup to the lower impedance spec of the input of what you are plugging into. Some preamps have a boost circuit, which has...

    Re: I can’t find The Blues in my Mandolin

    For me, the mandolin's sliding tremoloed doublestops are the element that replaces bends.

    Michael Daves demostrates.
