What's the difference btw GA-1 and GA-40? Will be used 85% on electric with bypass, 15% acoustic with mic. Is one better or are they the same?

I do not know. I decided to try a Snarky and I like it much better so gave away the Korg.

Yes, I've used both a standard dreadnaught acoustic, and also an acoustic bass. Seems even more stable, due to the less weight. The key is getting a really solid mic stand with a strong base.

I bought this amp for use with blues harp. It is my go to amp for gigging. I did some mods to make it a little more harp friendly but it will work great for harp right out of the box. I have three mics I use with it depending on the sound I want. Clean, vintage, blues overdriven. I works great with all three. I paid about half the current price because I bought mine a few years ago when they first came out. Even at the current price, you really can't go wrong. Buy it and enjoy it with no worries! OkieFats is in the house!

I have the 60v. It must be for violin. G is for guitar. It works great and has terrific sound. For the money, you can't beat it.

It sounds just as good for $50 as it did on my electric. But hey! Just got the WET reverb yesterday. .. beautiful man.Biyang reverb will be fine with acoustic electric/electric till you get something better! Hope this helps!

I find for just sketching with my guitar or even catching a band practice the on board mics are pretty good. It only comes with two 1/4 input (channels 1 and 2). Ive used an sm 58 and beta 58 (for vocals) with a chord with the xlr and 1/4 on either end. I use an sm 57 for my amp, though sometimes I go di from the amp (its a DT25). I may just get an adapter and leave it plugged in to the unit. All these options have worked great for me.

I would recommend EJ16s for acoustic lead, however, if your friend primarily plays electric, he might prefer the extra light EJ15s. Hope this helps.

Good question, but I haven't use the G1N, that I can recall. I have use analog, and digital effects and a combination of those for years. The G3 has enabled to retire those things. In fact with a little Crate Power block, I can basically leave my amp at home or the recording studio. I now have a powerful combo, easy to carry and sounds great a little quieter with all the options I had before and only have to use two patch cords.

It will work, and I'd probaly use it over a 57, but acoustic guitars are a different animal. In live situations I've used one of these on various stringed instruments including acoustic guitars and violins. For home recording it will work well in a full mix but probably won't get the full sound you're looking for if you're doing a guitar and voice singer/song-writer type feel. But if you're looking to get recording on a budget this is a great all around instrument mic that will work well on both electric and acoustic instruments.

Others have spoken as owners of the Hog 20. I have a Hog 30 I've used for busking in Farmer's markets on bass. It held up just fine in that context, so I think for keyboards or bass if you want a battery operated amp, the Hog 30 is a great option.

I am using a LIne 6 Spider Valve 112 - the front end modelling on these is pants, but it has a quality Bogner 40W all valve poweramp and Celestion Speaker. The new version apparently has an improved preamp and is holding its value better, but the older ones can be picked up quite cheap (£150 or less). Its a good fit for a decent modeller.

I have only run mine through a Behringer PMP 2000 (Europower 800 Watt PA system). The microphone stays true and clean no matter how loud I get; it's sensitive enough to pick up softer tones when used. What you use it for will dictate what size amp to utilize, because the mic itself won't distort or adulterate what it picks up without external interference. If you run it through an 8 watt amplifier and use it for full force growling or screaming (my version of these vocals anyway), the truth to your efforts won't carry as well as perhaps a 100 Watt. You just have to decide how loud you would like to be and purchase accordingly. I have only run mine through a Behringer PMP 2000 (Europower 800 Watt PA system).

Mines made in exico. not sure if they all are. but this is the best performance lead vocal mic for under 1000 and its only likw 160 on here. its a hell of a mic. i use it for mcing at drum and bass shows. deep lows crisp highs very resistant to feedback and the backround noise is canceled out.

after hand surgery i changed my washburn acoustic to nylon (most washburns have high enough action -wouldn't try it on an ovation or ibanez) it was excellent. BUT you must adjust. you'll figure it out. i used to tune in a higher key for less buzz but that is not necessary. gotta tell ya you'll lose volume and briteness & acoustic "clarity" but it is a sweet mellow sound; but i love bottom end.

I wrote a review for them after buying 2 of them. match them with the SSL 4000.1 EVO amp and wire correctly... 4ohm and they will blow yer window seals out. if you try to wire down to 2ohm you WILL fry the VC's. 4Ohm is perfect and the 4000.1 EVO amp matches up perfect. just run them in series at 4Ohm and you will not be disappointed brother.

Hello! The AKG D5S has an on/off switch, while the D5 does not. (So "S" = "switch".) Having recently used my D5S at a solo performance, I was very glad to have the on/off switch right in front of me! If you are considering either of these mics, I would suggest the S model for that very reason. By the way, this is one terrific microphone! I had always used Shure mics in the past but went with this AKG model after reading a lot of reviews. The sound is excellent.
