Acoustic Performance Pedalboard tour! My live sound setup for mandolin, guitar, and violin. 

You’re very welcome! I’ve since added the TC Helicon as a stationary member of my board, but everything else that’s here is pretty close to what this setup was earlier this year. I actually went back and watched this video last week and was pleased with how accurately I had presented all of the elements. Always making small tweaks here and there and researching what else is out there, but this is still the setup I used and have used a bunch gigging this year.

If you’re just using one for your pickups- the VoicePrint would be my recommendation.

That’s a great question. I think the first motivation to build this setup was because I’d be using only a condenser and couldn’t quite get the volume that I wanted before feedback. It also meant that where I stood was crucial to exactly what tone I got. So I started brainstorming on how I could include signal from the pickup to give me that extra volume and consistency. With this setup, I have control over the volume for both the pickup and mic signals independently. That allow me to tweak things in a pinch if I feel like feedback is a problem. I also utilize a Beyerdynamic M 201 TG, which is a dynamic mic that I really like when I want that condenser type quality without as much susceptibility to feedback. I’ve used it straight into my amp at Farmers Market gigs and it has given me plenty of volume. But again, positioning makes a difference in terms of tone/volume if you’re only using a mic on a stand.

For the mandolin? I just used one of the original clear adhesives that came with the pickup. I believe they’re just 3M double sided tape pieces, but you may be able to reach out to LR Baggs about sending you some or some putty!

It’s a great pedal. The Venue just serves as an EQ for my microphones now.

Terima kasih!

I did notice that positioning made a difference a couple years ago, so I had to be careful as to which pedals I placed near the power strip. I still did get some low white noise for a while after that, but eventually set a really low gate on the TC Helicon and now it’s no longer a problem.

Ive been playing through a tone dexter with K&K for a few years. I really like it, very nice close to true mic sound. make sure you get the mandolin software installed on it and not the guitar software, if youre playing mandolin.

@@JMcBillz Thanks

I’ve seen plenty about it, but haven’t tried it yet.

I’m just running an ordinary power strip fastened under the board. I have a few of the pedals daisy-chained but some (like the Voiceprint) have their own unique power supply. I also have both Xvive pieces always connected to USB power, so I have one of the little power cubes and a dual USB. All in all, I think two Snark adapters, the USB cube, and the independent power supply. The chord on the power strip is 3-4 feet, so I can usually plug in on stage pretty easily, but I ofter carry an extension chord just in case.
