Thanks for sharing. I don't see too many videos on sound set ups for mandolin

[@RockPopMandolin]

No problem!

[@georgelasko8346]

I have a Fishman Artist. It’s heavy. I can understand why you have the smaller one. I also invested in an LR Baggs Para Acoustic DI. I like it. The XVive wireless transmitter and receiver is nice also. I didn’t know that my guitar pedals would work with a Mandolin, but they all do! I’ve installed an LR Baggs Radius pickup permanently in my Eastman MD505 myself. It was scary, but I felt confident, and it came out well. Thank you again for all of your wonderful lessons.

[@RockPopMandolin]

You’re most welcome! Nice sounding set up, too.

[@JackFright]

Thanks for sharing, Mike!

[@RockPopMandolin]

You're most welcome!

At some point I'd love to try a TCE HOF, but I currently use a Dispatch Master and it works really well. Also has some delay options in it as well. As far as DIs, I could never get a decent sound with a Baggs PADI. I liked the Red Eye a lot in terms of sound but the boost wasn't loud enough and I wanted more EQ options at my feet. The Grace Designs Alix is pricey, but it is terrific on both accounts. That being said, pairing mandos with DIs is soooooooo dependent on the mandolin. Oner guy's set up might not work for someone with a different mando. It's not an instrument that was really built to be DI'd, and it's really surprising how different mndos respond to different DI set ups.

[@RockPopMandolin]

Cool. Thanks for the input. Sounds like you have a nice set up. BTW, I just picked up the HOF Mini 2. It’s good, too. And takes up less space on the pedalboard.

[@richardregan8686]

Thanks Mike, great video as usual. I just use a Boss AD-10

[@RockPopMandolin]

Nice!

[@waynereed5554]

Hey Mike I've been learning alot of songs from your videos here lately so thank you for that. Since you do more classic rock, I really want to learn Fire on the mountain by Marshall Tucker. I think it could sound awesome on the mandolin. Hopefully you can put a video out on it in the near future. Thanks

[@RockPopMandolin]

I don’t know that song, but I’ll check it out. Thanks!

[@waynereed5554]

@@RockPopMandolin It's a great song. I think Marshall Tucker band is underrated. I think "Can't you see" would sound great to

[@billduck7536]

If you ever get a chance to play a gig with a electric Fender Mandocaster with a pedal board, you may never go back to an acoustic mandolin when playing a gig. Love mine. And unlike every guitar or bass I've ever owned, give it a good setup and you'll never have to worry about fret noise even with extremely low action.

[@RockPopMandolin]

Cool. Love to try one.

[@bronwynsinclair1646]

Thank you so much for the explanation and demo...I haven't seen a better one, especially as I'm looking at pedals and if one would help. Im looking at a Fishman Platinum preamp... Do you know if they do the same thing as yours (other than the Fishman has a built-in tuner and is a lot dearer) Bron

[@RockPopMandolin]

Good question. I don’t know that unit. I’d say try it out along with the LR Baggs and see which one is best for you.

[@bronwynsinclair1646]

@RockPopMandolin unfortunately will be guess work using reviews and recommendations as none are available in my state sadly.
