If I do decide to get the 330x .. I'm def gonna try it out first someplace. But I don't think GC stores stock them. But if I go up to the 330x price then the Bose L1 Compact comes into play... I really liked the SA220 sound (for the day I had it)... Also it worked really great with the TCH Play Acoustic. Especially, using separate Guitar and Mic D/I output mode into the 2 channels on the Soloamp. Sounded much better than the single (L) Mono output of the Play. One comment unrelated to sound .. I don't care for the traditional Tripod pole stands (in general). Especially for the smaller upscale places I play. The PA speaker on a Tripod stand looks bulky. At least the SoloAmp was sleeker looking than say a PA Box Speaker.

I had paid around $600 for a "new" 220... which I felt was a great deal. But used ones go for $500. So if the New 330x is $900-1000 than it still seems worth to find a nice 220. I liked the 220 .. Nice I/O and built-in reverb. It sounds really good! I would "imagine" the 330x would be at least as nice if not better. Would be nice to hear!

Hi guys. New to this great forum I want to talk about my new Fishman SA330x. I have the basic model without sub or mixer. I just can’t use it with my Cole Clark Angel 2 solid wood acoustic as the feedback issues are out of control. If I turn up the gain to half on the master and channel gain, I get terrible feedback. I turn down, then it’s way too quiet for even small gigs. I turn the feedback pot to tame the feedback, but it’s in at least 3 frequencies, and I just can’t use it live at the moment as it is just a problem. I feel like I can’t play at any moderate level without something feeding back. I’m thinking I’ll have to buy a feedback eliminator unit this week to tame 2-4 frequencies so I can use the Fishman again. Very frustrating as I don’t have any problems with a normal PA system.
Anyone else having trouble with the 330 with feedback issues?

I had a 220 for a while and now a SA330 since December. I've done about 20 shows since getting the 330. I use a Gibson Hummingbird Pro with the Baggs Element pickup system and occasionally an S.L. Mossman with a K&k mini. I haven't experienced feedback unless I cranked volumes to extremes even with he K&K which should be more prone to feedback. I recently added a TC Helicon play acoustic pedal. I played on a huge patio last Saturday. I still didn't need to turn the master past about 11:00. It covered the patio well at that rather loud volume without a hint of feedback
The Fishman has the phase inverter switch to combat feedback and also the feed back suppression control. Have you tried those? Have you tried it with other guitars?

I’ve also tried my Takamine G series laminate guitar with the 330 and it doesn’t feedback as much, but it still does. I have been practicing with it in my small studio, so maybe has something to do with the room as well. I think the feedback destroyer is the way to go, and I’m picking one up this week. I know those feedback units change the tone considerably, as they are notching out a few frequencies, but I have no choice, I don’t want to pierce the ears of my audience with unwanted feedback.
These Fishman sticks do feedback, and it ain’t pleasant!

I have been using an SA220 for10 years with no feedback issues.

....not sure why you're experiencing feedback.......I'm getting none of that with mine.....your statement seems a bit definitive....there may be other issues.....

Tonydean....In your first post you mention having the master and gain up to half. Is that in your small studio you also mention? I would be amazed if it didn't feed back at that volume level in a small room. Turn it down to a reasonable level. I didn't even need my SA330 turned past 11:00 on a huge 150 foot long patio. I run mine at about 9:30 on the master and the gain just below clipping on the channel gains in a medium size bar.

I'm curious if anyone has done an A-B comparison to Bose L1C system? Similar price range, so seems like they would be worth comparing. I'm guessing the Fishman is heavier, since it's more steel construction? Plus doesn't have sub included. So my main question is what advantage might it have over Bose? Sound comparison? The post earlier in this thread seemed to lack confidence he had his adjusted well when compared to Bose, but that still didn't help build any confidence it would be a better system in any way.
