Opinions and help!

Hello All,
Here's a great opportunity for everyone to contribute their opinion. A popular favorite among forums in general.
Here's my situation. I use a Shertler DYN-G pickup and play on a Shertler David amp. It does not provide enough volume. When I try any guitar with a piezo style pickup through a 1/4 inch jack on the amp, I am able to get way more than enough volume from my amp. I am considering installing a big tone or the like in my guitar to solve my problem, but I have not been too impressed with the dynamic reaction of those pickups...-meaning the volume window that I have when I play loud or soft is considerably less responsive. I am also open to purchasing the Shertler preamp if that will solve my problem.

Any opinions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Josh

The David is a pretty low powered amp...if you like the sound of the DYN it's best to go with the Unico so you can get more volume. Or even better, an acoustic image which has 800watts and sound great with a DYN.

ACE, you should come over and try my baggs pickup before it sells.

Hey Josh,

Haven't tried the DYN-G, but I use a Baggs Para DI & David setup with a piezo pickup...the Baggs makes it a totally new (and MUCH better) experience. Tons of control over volume, tone, etc, and a lot more room to work with--used to have to turn way up just to be heard, and now I'm rarely above 30 or 40% even on our loudest gigs.

Plus, it makes a great direct box for bigger gigs...try it out!

best,
Jack
