Aloha Bruce-
As far as amps go, I went for the Marshall AS50 over the Acoustasonic.
Seemed to have a more natural fuller sound. They also come in a 2x50
watt version, the AS100. They have chorus and reverb with 2 channels in
(an XLR and a 1/4 TS instrument). You can also run an effects unit in
the FX loop - I use either an ART FX1 or Alesis Quadraverb2 before the
amp depending on the setup. I use this chain:
Compact unit:
AT 831 > Art Tube Pre Studio > Art FX1 > Marshall AS50 (or SRW LA 10 or
mixing board)
Rack unit:
AT 831 > Art TPSII > Alesis 3630 compressor > Alesis Quadraverb2 >
BBE362 > stereo out to board or amp
I made a bamboo holder for the mic that sits it about 3" off the
utagugchi at about a 45 degree angle from the shakuhachi. Usually end up
using just a bit of reverb from either effects unit with nice sounding
results. The 831 needs phantom power so that is why I use a preamp
before the amp. If you have an inline battery or dynamic mic you will be
able to go straight into the AS50 or other acoustic guitar amp.
Cheers,
David

Subject: [Shaku] Amplifiers for Performance?
I'm looking for recommendations on amplifiers for solo and ensemble
shakuhachi performance. I've seen a couple guitar amps that have=20
what I want, echo or reverb, XLR input, lottsa wattage (80+) but=20
also have a lot of extra baggage. I've been looking at the Ibanez
Troubdor 225 and the Fender Acoustasonic Jr. DP.
What are folks using?
