This is the time in my life when I'd really like to perform in public, a little. My chops aren't what they used to be, and I want to try to get the most out of my fine instruments while I still can. I'd like to purchase a Schertler JAM 400 acoustic amp., and whatever else I need to use my instruments, and get a great sound.
1. Can I run a mandolin through this with a piezo without some sort of preamp, or mixer?
2. For more freedom of movement, would it be better to use a combination piezo and mini-condensor mike. Or something like a Shure SM94, so I could keep a little distance between mandolin and mike?
3. I've got a '72 D28, with a Goldline pickup, probably installed 15 years ago. Would there be any incompatibilities with it and the Schertler?
4. How should I go about getting the proper sound from my Ellis F5 #65 and my Collings D3. The less surgery on these sweethearts, the better.
Thanks for any help.
