Yeah thats one that is hard to work I prefer a PVDF Piezo
Pickup (like a pick up the world unit http://www.pick-uptheworld.com/products.htm )
over a mic even then if you use any effects like filters etc.. feedback
elimination could be required.
I suppose you could try a rack mixer and pan the loop
to one side and the instrument to the other side thus requiring a stereo amp or
just another amp is the frontman loud enough with a drummer?

Please help me with a live setup. I have a dream
and need your experience to help me manifest it.
Here is what I think I need:
violin/viola - - clip on mic (ATM-35) - - preamp/eq
- - A/B Switch - - EDP - - Delay line - - Amp.
A/B Switch cont. - - Amp.
Here is what I have:
ATM-35 (clip on mic)
Fishman preamp
EDP
LXP-5 (delay)
Fender Frontman (small amplifier)
I want to play a loop sequence with delay with a
drummer and other strings, essentially a band. I need to hear the delay effect
as if it was another performer because I play against it rhythmically. All other
members will need to hear the loop/delay that well also, but the drummer in
particular. I also want to be able to play solo without the loop or delay so I
think I will need an A/B Switch.
Here are my issues and fears about using
this:
Monitoring. How? In ear? Wireless? Its hard to hear
delay.
A/B Switch for no FX? I don't want to solo through
the FX loop.
Tweaking Mix/Direct levels in FX loop.
Do I need a better amp? Fender Frontman too
small?
I have a big concern about the inflexibility
performance wise of locking a group of musicians to a loop in a live context.
Anyone have experience with this? I could arrange/orchestrate the pieces to use
no loop/delay, but that is how they were originally conceived.
Thank you for your help, this is a long, detailed
post and I appreciate your input. I am trying to prepare myself as best I can
for the first rehearsal.
Matthew
