We are a duo but we each play different instruments for different songs.

We both sing.

All acoustic instruments with pickups are currently going through an individual Boss EQ/Pre-amp before hitting the mixer. Might not be necessary with L1(?).

Musician #1 (Left side): Primary instrument is acoustic guitar (Martin D28) with Baggs pickup, but also plays '56 Gretsch through a tube amp, and piano.

Musician #2 (Right side): Primary instrument is acoustic mandolin using a bridge pickup for rhythm volume and a directional mic (green #1) for lead volume (would consider other options). Musician plays acoustic guitar on some songs. The Les Paul (green #2) in the sketch is a substitute representation for an solid body electric mandolin, currently being played through a tube amp.

Hi, Hope my quoting comes through okay... Actually this sketch appeared from me trying to update an earlier sketch, but it's cool someone's looking. I was also just composing a longer post for, probably, the "Solo and Duo" forum. We've already taken delivery of an L1 system and are having a difficult time getting a sound we're happy with. It might be better to move the discussion over there but I'll answer your questions below.



Please tell us more about your music:

• What kind(s) of music you play,
  
  "Acousti-lectric Texas Roots Music", meaning our own styles of western swing, blues, bluegrass, real country. We're primarily acoustic in instrumentation.
  
  
• Where you do it (size, type of venue)
  
  Small clubs, outside small stage.
  
  
  
• Who is there (audience) - how many, what are they doing while you are performing
  
  A very varied audience. Mostly a "listening" crowd however, over 30 years old. Sometimes we play for folks that want to dance too and we can dish that out just fine. Our ideal audience is a combination of listeners and dancers. We don't do a lot of bar gigs with heavy drinkers although sometimes you have to...
  
  

Thanks


PS
Do know the make/model or have a link to a solid body electric mandolin?

It's a 5-string solid-body Roberts Tiny Moore model, dual pickups. I have a 4-string solid body Stevens mandolin on order.
THANKS! Todd
