Hello Brad and everyones ! Aloha ! My gear (just beginning to play plg-in…) :
1 ) active mic : Misi uke
2 : Preamp / Basic EQ : Fishman ProEQmini
3) Amp : Ibanez Acoustic Troubadour TA 35
For now, it’s working. I try to find the right sound with “EQing” (have to read your eBook).
But what is annoying me for now is the noise (not so loud but) of the Amp when just plugged. I tried to resolve ground issues by plugin in the same electrical socket but still there…
Mahalo ! Patrice
Does the noise get louder when you turn up the amp volume? Try moving the amp to a different location in your house - or even to a whole different building. It might just be the inherent noise floor from the electrical components in the amp, but it could be interference from RFI/EMI pollution (computers, certain types of lights, etc.) or poor grounding in your electrical circuit.
Aloha Brad and thank you for your reply ! And yes, I have to check first I think the grouding of my electrical circuit…
