amplifying my Cigano gj-10?

jokash

Hi
I recently bought a cigano gj-10 and i have the Roland ac 60 amp.
I am wondering if anybody got some tips on good ways to connect the 2 things.

Stimer!

Yeah Stimer or Bigtone or Audio Technica Pro70.
There's also Schatten, K&K and a $50 bucks Dimarzio that actually sounds pretty good:

just as important is a good preamp - michael has a nice LR baggs for a good price on the site.

if u need amplifying
in low volume (home play or record): pro70
in medium volume : k&k
in high volume : bigtone+AER

:idea: anyway,i think that for this guitar & amp pro70 is better choice.

What you didn't say is how you plan to use it. Amplifying at home or in small quiet venues is one thing, playing in a noisy bar is another. Any mike is going to have feedback issues, especially with an instrument amp. The Bigtone (Dupont only, please) will give you a strong signal and good feedback rejection.

I've had passive Schattens in a couple of guitars, played through a Roland AC60 with good results. A good preamp helps (the Baggs Para DI is excellent). The K&K is probably similar.

Another option is a Schertler Basik. Needs a preamp also, but the advantage is you can move it to a different guitar if you upgrade in the future.

I was thinking i terms of small venues.

the audio technica is expenssive i think. but i havent heard of simillar alternatives.
I am hearing good thins about combining a piezo and a small micropfone.
