Grace Alix Review - First Impreassions

[mandogt]

Hi Folks,
Just joined this forum,as I just got the alix a couple of days ago.
I haven't found any vids on setting up a mando with the alix,as most of the sound equipment and effects manufacturers don't produce gear that is designed for just mandolins lol,that being said the ALIX that I just hooked up today sounds really good once you do internal jump setting, correct side dip selection and of course all those eq knobs that require a nice friend to sit and run thru them for you as you do chops, tremelos,and solo stuff-lol. Pretty much each mandolin is way different from one another so settings on the top will vary a lot. I also have found that my mandolin sounds better with a xlr out(from the alix) to my digital mixer than thru my acoustic amp but my J-45 sounds better thru the amp. Playing a Gibson F-5 with a K&K and Iam real pleased with the sound,now to figure out how to best position it on my pedal board either in front or at the end not sure right now.
