Thanks for the overview of the Fishmans! So many amps, so many violins, so little money lol!

I have a loudbox mini and I really like it. It sounds good with both my Yamaha YEV and my acoustic ( with pickup).

I have the same equipment, what are your settings on the amp ? I am new to using a fiddle thru an amp...

I use an acoustic violin w/ Eric Aceto pickup, Fishman Aura Spectrum DI, & Fishman Loudbox Mini Charge. The system runs entirely on batteries for busking, & offers superb sound quality. It has already paid for itself multiple times over. The amp is wonderful, but the Aura Spectrum makes the difference between a nasal tone & a full, natural sounding violin tone. I get loads of compliments when playing on this setup. Matt, I’d like to hear you do comparisons of EQ modeling pedals such as the Aura Spectrum, Tonedexter, & a few others that have come on the market recently.

Lol! My brother!

Hello there...what cables do you use for the mic and what cables for the guitar? Thank you so much again...

Thanks for the video. Does anyone know how it sounds with keyboards?

Hi. Say I have the Fishman loudbox and a Scarlett 2i2. I also have a condenser microphone, but I'm willing to get a pickup for playing outside. What else do I need to play my acoustic violin outdoors (amplified)? I have looked at so many forums to try to find out and I just end up really confused with all the options. Thanks in advance!

You'll need either a pickup or a mic. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pIiK1NOaY8beZco.html

Matt, I am looking at the Fishman loudbox Artist and the Bose S1 pro for electric cello. a lot of the stats seem similar but I know that the Fishman is the acoustic-focused amp company so I am wondering if the sound quality is superior for the lows and highs that the cello can produce?

The Fishman probably gives you a warmer sound through most of the range of the instrument, but the Bose will give you more fatness at the bottom.

@@ElectricViolinShop I do like that fatness at the bottom I am thinking of getting the NXT-a 5string with the CGDAE tuning with the high e instead of low F so I wouldn't be hitting that super-low tone. I play a lot of Celtic and Irish music so thought would be exciting to get into the violin tone ... ?

@@katierhea4902 I like both amps but for different reasons. The best thing you could do would be to try them out. Lots of places have a 30 day return period. You can buy both, try them out, and return the loser. There's one very specific store I can think of that has that policy...

I recently got Barcus Berry pietzo pickups for acoustic playing and hear a gritty kind of bow sound. Do these amps sound good with this style pickup alone, or do I need a sweepable EQ?

My EQ Platinum Pro makes my ooooold Peavey 600b mixer amp sound golden with my acoustic violin + Barcus Berry. I would recommend getting an EQ DI box first. Then you can explore amp options. Just my 2 cents.

Would you recommend a Loudbox if I want to use a pedal board? How does it work with distortion?

Good question. It's fine with distortion. It won't go to ear splitting volumes like a Marshall half stack or anything, but it handles distortion just fine.

I was planing on getting a mini for my brother in law who plays acoustic guitar with a pickup, but he wants to play with his wife on violyn on a mic, I'm gusinng a beta 58... know if this could work?

@ElectricViolinShop

It should. A 58 isn't ideal on a violin, but it'll technically work.

In some states, the grass us BLUE, apparently...

How can I make an electric violin sound like an acoustic one? Is it even possible?
