Well, this thread is already kind of done - but - I was able to use it by plugging the fethead into a mixer on the receiving end of the chain, and it did work to boost the signal FWIW but at the end of the day the entire application was wrong and all of that old stuff has been changed out for...

I hadn't seen the Acoustas system before but it looks very similar to a setup I already had which was Omni Directional and was feeding back beyond function. The grip 6 is one of the units I had purchased, thinking it would be good because I could transfer it between accordions easily being...

Yes, I do wonder if it would make any real difference at all as it is such a small space. I found this video which seems to indicate it wouldn't matter much MIC your ACCORDION accordioncafe - YouTube Switchable patterns are cool, I have an AT 2050 where I have done exactly as described and...

Right on all accounts. Am now using an Xvive U3 XLR wireless system with the SM58 reunited with its original transformer and everything is great. Until I basically blew the old bellows. Now I need to install this system into another accordion until I can get the bellows fixed. So I was...

So, I learned a few things. I found there was a third wire sheered off at the transformer in the handle portion of things which I had kept laying around. I ended up resoldering the mic as a whole unit again, ran an XLR cable to a female XLR chassis plug on the accordion and purchased an Xvive...

We are fairly loud. Picture this. Acoustic rhythm guitar/lead singer/newfie party animal. Blazing electric leads with a Hendrixy gypsy jazz players flair. Mega electric bass. A madman on fiddle blazing leads all day long. And it all starts with the drums which are loud as anything rock out...

Holy smokes. Really cool. Perhaps sometime when I have the time I could delve in there, but very interesting!

Depends on the electric. Rolands have no reeds so they are straight midi, and sound great! But are super expensive and the one that I do actually own has the weird issue where the bellow response isn't real (when opening multiple reed chambers aka pressing multiple notes in a real accordion...

Ahh the context of taste. Whatevs exactly! Interesting idea. I suppose if I came across a bunch of those super cheap I would give it a go, but I think I have figured out my issue (see below).

This is correct. However this is the only instance where it is not enough, for almost all the other gigs and things I use it for it is enough. So moving forward this will be used as a monitor only and I am being fed into the mains wherever possible from the out on the Yorkville. Another 10...

Great! I should start by clarifying my chain. I do not recall tossing any electrical parts from the 58 - it was in pieces when I got it. Here is a picture - there are only two wires headed to the 1/4" jack. From there I am using the ammoon 5.8GHz wireless guitar system. ammoon 5.8G Wireless...

It has been many moons since I posted here, happy to see this forum still around~! Be forwarned, this post is about accordion micing in live situations. I have tried a few different setups now, and still can't find a 'thing' that works. I play in a very loud folk punk outfit and am having...

Got a smokin deal on a set of GK 410's, just wondering about running my guitar amp through them. It is a Sovtek Mig 50 (50 watt with 4,8&16 ohm outputs - I also have a weber mass 150 I typically use so I can work with less than full volume), and the Gallien Krueger is rated at 8 ohms and 800...

The BC Rich Bich Perfect 10 So far it lives up to it's name I'd say, but it's only been one weekend :D. It is strung the same as a 12 string, except the E & A strings are single. There are a variety of knobs and switches that will keep me tonally busy for awhile. I'd say this thing is...
