Eric,
Can I assume you use the Telefunken when you are somewhat worried about feedback and the AKG when feedback is not an issue? If not, what determines which you use on any given occasion? Steve

8 channel mixer with a pair of QSC speakers on stands.
TC Helicon Harmony GXT pedal on the chorus of some songs. Small acoustic amp (Ultrasound as a monitor) or Shure IEM for noisy venues. Very Good Mics ( Nuemann and Sennheiser) Martin and Taylor guitars

Adair Neto:
Per your request, here's some pics of my rig: '06 Guild D-55 with Fishman Matrix Pickup: BOSS BCB-6 Case with (r to l): BOSS TU-3 tuner, BOSS TR-2 Tremolo, BOSS DM-2 Analog Delay, BOSS CH-1 Super Chorus, BOSS RV-3 Digital Reverb/Delay, BOSS GE-7 EQ: Finally, my wonderful Fender Acoustasonic Jr DSP Amp. The guitar channel sounds quite good and the vocal channel will make anyone sound like a MUCH better singer than they really are. This amp is exactly the same size and weight as a Fender Deluxe Reverb (about 42 lbs). It has Tilt Back legs that get your sound to the back of the room: I've been gigging for six years with this setup and it's never let me down. While the amp has a lot of cool effects built in, I find it much faster to use a few stompboxes rather than having to spin dials and remember settings for different songs. 6 Last edited by 6L6; 12-17-2012 at 06:02 PM. |

Lowden O25 or Fylde Custom Alexander with K&K minis...k&K Pure XLR preamp...AER combo or PA as appropriate. Simple!
(Also occasionally use bouzouki and/or mandolin with K&K minis in the same way.) Keith

It seems that many on this forum, or at least on this thread, plug into house PA systems regularly and have nothing more than a smallish amplifier. We (duo) sometimes have sound provided for us, but often have to provide our own sound. We perform at some small venues where very little sound reinforcement is required, but also in relatively large/loud spaces inside and outstide. This is why we need a PA that can be scaled up or down according to our needs. I am envious of some of the smaller setups people have, but we just couldn't get some of the gigs we get without our PA system or even be heard at all at some performances without it.

Sorry to give the wrong impression. For bigger settings where I supply the sound, I have a Mackie Mixer, an ancient 550w Sunn powered mixer (for power) and two JBL Eon1500 speakers. I'll typically use the SoloAmp as a monitor. It all takes a lot of schlepping and setup, so I'm grateful that two of my regular places have excellent house sound.

New Live Rig
Larrivee P-10 Quilted Mahogany parlor with a Baggs pickup (not sure which one) or a 1975 Guild D25 M with a Takamine Tri-Ax sound hole pickup (Basically a black Baggs M1A)
Boss TU-2 Tuner > Fishman Aura Dreadnought (Basically a 16) > Boss GE7 EQ > Yamaha AG Stomp. For solo stuff I use their PA, with a band I use the same pedals but use solid body acoustics like an Alvarac FCF710 or, 'Shudder', a Line 6 Variax Acoustic 700. Vocals AKG 535 - TC Helicon Mic Mechanic It's a combination of older low end gear, but it works. The whole PB cost a total of 350$. The AG stomp is nice for the Limiter, Mic Model, Reverb, tweak EQ and a minimal bit of chorus. The Aura is used really sparingly - 3% blend (if at all). |

Someone is sure to point out that this is a zombie thread, so let me get that out of the way.
I have several PAs, one with a powered mixer and the classic speakers-on-sticks which I use for outdoor venues, for most things I use one of a couple of L1 rigs, including an L1 Compact, with a small external mixer for small, tight indoor gigs. Because of some of the venue imposed constraints on set up, I have given up on various pick up systems, including but not limited to the much touted K&K and various sound hole magnetics, and recently gone to a Godin A6 Ultra. So far so good. My vocal mic of choice remains the time tested and reliable SM58. |
