    Re: Best way to test preamp sounds at home?

    I concur with pops and Mark. You've got two different things you're talking about testing. Plugging a preamp into the Fishman is basically doubling down on the preamp(s), which will give you a very...

    Re: Pedal novice question re: preamp pedal

    As pops mentioned, there's only a treble cut/boost knob on the Red Eye, and for me that wasn't enough eq for the mandolin. Worked fine for the acoustic guitar, but I really wanted that high pass...

    And yet another option... this one has built in effects, which is a nice touch!
  4. Re: Radial Tonebone PZ-Pro vs. EBS Stanley Clarke preamp pedals

    My previous setup was the "dual RedEye" pedal board, with both outputs going into my little mixer, which then sent it's single output to either the FOH (large room) or the second channel of my...

  6. Radial Tonebone PZ-Pro vs. EBS Stanley Clarke preamp pedals

    I had a chance recently to compare and contrast two 2-channel acoustic preamp pedal units, the Radial Tonebone PZ-Pro and the EBS Stanley Clarke Signature Acoustic Preamp. Both are aimed at acoustic...

    Re: Pedal novice question re: preamp pedal

    The EBS unit came just in time yesterday for me to be able to A/B against the Radial preamp in a live situation. I'll do a more thorough write up in a separate thread, but short story is I'm...

  9. Re: Going out of tune upwards... Explain this to me, please!

    Happens virtually any time I pick up a mandolin, especially if it's been sitting for a couple days. Still haven't had anyone really explain it, just guesses and possibilities.

    Check out the Straight Up Strings site. Roger Siminoff has done a bunch of writing about this kind of stuff. Glad that someone has, as it means I don't have to...

    Re: My Journey so far.

    Welcome, Tom!
    You'll see that many (many) of us have a similar musical resume' (decades of guitar/bass/keys/others) and started out on an MD 315. You may be new to the mandolin, but you're...

    Re: Pedal novice question re: preamp pedal

    I have the Radial inputs set with the "PZ Boost" switches on (10MOhm) and the sound is spectacular. I'm running K&K internal pickups in both the mandolin (Northfield F5S) and guitar (Martin D-28),...

    Re: Pedal novice question re: preamp pedal

    The Radial unit arrived a couple days ago, and I've had a bit of time to noodle around with it. It is (almost) exactly what I've needed. The tone shaping is superb, for both mandolin and acoustic...

    N(o)MD - '85 Carlson Flatiron A5 Jr

    Stumbled onto this last week. Looked to have been in a closet for the last couple decades, as there is hardly any fret wear or marks/dings at all. Cleaned it up, buffed the frets, changed the...

    This Flatiron is in a local shop under consignment. I've never seen anything like it. Model number is 35H (or maybe 3SH). Anyone got any info?

    Re: Pedal novice question re: preamp pedal

    As described above, the Twin only has one output. I want to be able to eq the guitar and mandolin independently.

    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...

    Re: Pedal novice question re: preamp pedal

    Mine is similar, just have two tuners and the Red Eye's provide the boost.

    Each of the outputs on the the pre's go to a tiny mixer board so I can EQ the signals separately, then that goes to one...

    There’s a great video on the radial site with a Nashville producer walking through the features. I just ordered one. Should be here next week and I’ll post a review.

    I just checked out the Tonebone PZ-Pro, which has two separate channels/eq and is about half the price of the similar Grace Felix. This appears to be exactly what you (and I) are looking for in a...

    If you really want only one unit, you could always get an A/B/Y switching pedal, which allows you to plug both instruments into one pedal, then switch the output between the two. But if you go that...
