kerry davies Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 2 electric and one acoustic guitars Which explains my total confusion about this thread. A Bluegrass band with one electric guitar is a sin and heresy of the first water, but two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both Martin Blake and Chris Moreton are old friends of mine. I daren't tell them about this as they are both no longer young enough to take the shock. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam.spoons Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Actually a bluegrass band with more than one mic is frowned on (and that one mic is barely accepted and only for radio broadcasts) http://www.blue-room.org.uk/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S&L Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 when the guys have played the midwest festivals in the USA they play a fully mic'ed day set and then an evening set with one mic. they played a one off in their local town without me just before Christmas - no amps, cables or PA.but they are not bluegrass in the strictest sense - that's my shorthand. originally formed in 1956 as a skiffle band they play skiffle, bluegrass, blues, country, rock'n'roll, standards - in the USA they call it Americana apparently - a little of everything. https://soundcloud.com/howard-tomlinson/ramblin-riversiders-swinginghttps://soundcloud.com/howard-tomlinson/ramblin-riversiders-hip-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam.spoons Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I do get where you're coming from, I play in an acoustic trio which does rock, pop, folk, country, new country, soul, gypsy jazz, blues, funk, and a few other things. Americana's far to narrow a definition and it's a bugger trying to describe us to a landlord http://www.blue-room.org.uk/public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gifBTW you don't mention a banjo! It can't be a bluegrass band without a banjo...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birt Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 the difference between a re-amping box and a DI is the output impedance. the re-amping box will have an output impedance (and signal power) as close as possible to the typical guitar pickup + wiring.effects and amps will react and sound different to a different impedance. this impedance game is also the reason why most fuzz stompboxes sound better right after the guitar, with other types of stompboxes coming later in the signal chain. there's commercial re-amp tools available (like the Radial mentioned in this topic) and you can find DIY schematics online.
