Re: Emando players: What do you want in an amp?
I would want an amp that captures the various tonalities of the instruments. Stealie should sound different than the 335 style 8 string.
Also, I want a versatile voiced amp. Blues should be able take take some grit and phaser, jazz tones should be fat and warm and maybe even a little compressed, more gain for rock and lead.
So, maybe a mandolin range-specific eq, a great reverb like the lexicon plate on the Polara, fx loop, easy footswitch access to change channels or call up a gain boost, small, powerful, loud, connective, and rugged.
Axes: Eastman MD-515 & El Rey; Eastwood S Mandola
