STAGE DI-2 PRESTINE gets killer reviews on the forums and usually compared the Grace design stuff. I wish there were a mention here.

Toured with a bluegrass band. Tried all of these. Hands down it’s the red eye all days everyday. The most natural for fiddle or guitar.

@@jameslifetimelearner I've honestly never even touched the eq unless the system is weird! It always sounds so natural all you really need ever is to cut some treble at least for me on both instruments! If anything else needs to be done, yes FOH or PA system

I was obsessed with this stuff for years. The main thing is to get rid of that under saddle style piezoelectric pickup. I use a passive KnK mini through a Yamaha AG stomp pedal. No quack. Sure you can avoid the D.i. You dont need a pre amp, when you have an amp.

I was wondering about pre amps and what they do this explains things brilliantly.Ive got a semi acoustic and just plug it straight in to my NAD hifi amp.

What's the pick up in your acoustic guitar? Is that Martin 0005M?

@alanpaone Ай бұрын

you spent 99% of the video talking and still doesn't mention which ones are analog and which ones are digital, I'm kind of impressed

To my ears the only example that doesn't sound like piezo-plastic-crap is the Alix's... I know that the Hi-Fi is a soundboard transducer but in this video it sounds like plastic to me.

There’s a lot of discussion on various media, talking about the effect of running an acoustic guitar with a pick up system, into an electric guitar amplifier. The suggestion is that an acoustic guitar sound thin, and basically not satisfactory. Most commentator will tell you that an acoustic guitar sounds better, when amplified through an acoustic amplifier. So, the question that comes to mind; what happens when you place a pedal, for example, a DI, or an EQ between the acoustic guitar and an electric guitar amp?

My answer would be line in at effects return

Just ordered something called a Caline CP-40, because it was cheapo....but overlooked the fact that it doesn't have the 9v battery inside like my old Baggs DI,....so i may have slipped up......

To my ears only one worth buying is the Grace in terms of sound. I’ve owned and quickly sold several of these.

If you've already got a board with reverb, chorus, etc., pedals you really don't need this preamp stuff do you? You'd just be duplicating stuff you already like, have, and use.

All of them are, essentially, one channel, one setting. Doesn't anyone make a preamp that allows for more than one sort of instrument? I have active instruments, which have specific output and EQ needs. I have passive instruments, which have specific output and EQ needs. The passive all have K&K pickups, which means I need to roll off a bit of top end and they have a lower output. The active pickup instruments have different output and EQ needs. No one seems to make a preamp like that.

The Felix and Radial would work. I use an EDB-1,which is a 2 channel summing mixer wit variable EQ ranges.

@CheshireMoonBand 2 ай бұрын

@@jameslifetimelearner the only box I find looking for EDB-1 is by Headway, and it only has one setting for EQ. I need two. What I am looking for, since looking above I don't think i was quite clear, is an acoustic preamp with one input, because I switch instruments a lot and I don't want to juggle two cords, two channels each with separate EQ that you can toggle with a footswitch. Channel A set for the Taylor etc with active electronics and it's own EQ controls and Channel B with different EQ and a bit of boost. This does not seem to exist. There are a couple that have two channels, but you have to run two cords, or get a splitter.

@jameslifetimelearner 2 ай бұрын

@@CheshireMoonBand ok I’m seriously trying to understand and help if I can. You want to use one channel at a time,each set for different instrument. Why not plug them in two separate cords and leave each plugged in? Felix- Alix big brother- has that capability. You could get an A/B switch, but that switches one source for two outputs That’s a bunch of pedal pushing and cord Unplugging,

@CheshireMoonBand 2 ай бұрын

@@jameslifetimelearner because it’s more than 2 instruments. I don’t get around very well, and 1 cord is simpler than 2. If I was still playing on my feet, it might be different. Mostly I am trying to simplify my stage setup. I know that I am probably going to have to settle, the units that seem like they would do the job all have 2 inputs.
