Thread Name: Amplifying a mandolin
Subject: RE: Amplifying a mandolin
While we're at it I'd like to hear what everyone is using as far as an amp is concerned. We rarely amplify so I've been using my old Fender Champ left over from my electric days. One of our guys has a Crate amp but I've been looking at Fenders. And I have a good friend who plays fingerstyle guitar who loves his Strawberry Blonde { that's an amp }.

We're playing in a church this weekend and we were going to use a mic for each of the instruments { 4 } and a mic for each singer. We eventually decided to play in a semicircle with only 2 mics and step up for solos. Much easier in this location and we'll probably sound better too because we can hear each others harmonies.
