Re: Gear for Electric Mandolin
I have an Eastman MD505 with a K&K and use a Vox MV50AC (micro amp) into a 12" Bugera cab. I've also tried my ZT Lunchbox with the same cab (and also it's 6" speaker) and a Bugera acoustic amp, but the Vox wins . It really does have a nice clean mostly sound when I add a little gain to it. Many will shy away from micro amps, but this one does the job nicely, guitar or mandolin (or my MDO305 octave mandolin). For the price, it's worth a try. I'd also try the Vox MV Boutique if you get the chance. It's modeled (somewhat) after a Dumble, which may work well for jazz and blues.
