Re: New Member - Buying Advice and Opinions Sought

Rob, I have the same setup you do live.  Acoustic guitar and 
vocals...that's 
it.

What I do is mic the inside of the guitar (it's actually a lavalier type 
mic 
that I wired into my guitar.) I then sing into the soundhole for effects. 
The out put of the guitar gets eq'd then goes into an H20 chorus/reverb 
then 
into Gibson Echoplex and into the board.  I love the echoplex because of 
the 
multiply function-make a small loop on stage--voila! nice long loop 
synched 
with another series of something-er-other twice as long.

Prior to that (and still on occasion), I used the Boomerang +.  It works 
well but isn's as versatile as the Echoplex on stage.  Tweaked properly, 
it's not that noisy.

I've thought about chaing the stage setup and mixing the vocal mic and the 
guitar through a small 2 channel mixer and going that route but I still 
like 
the soundhole effect as it looks cool and people wonder "what is that guy 
doing?"

as check out the article there. KT Tunstall has her setup diagramed plus a 
youtube peformance showing it in action.  Might help you see what can be 
done.

Hope this helps!
