By far, the musical instrument love of my life is my D-55 which I usually play unamplified. Occasionally though I play along to louder music and want to hear myself and had nothing but an electric guitar amp to put it through. The DTAR sound put through my Behringer twin 12 at 60 watts can shake the windows, but it sure doesn’t do the D-55 justice.
So last week I bought an acoustic amp, a Genz Benz Shenandoah Compak 300, and boy what a difference! Small little thing but the tone is so beautiful now – so sweet.
But now there’s my F-412 with no onboard sound, loud on its own, but I want to hear it amplified sometimes. So I bought it yesterday – an “LR Baggs Anthem SL Acoustic Microphone / Preamp System with Tru Mic Technology” from Strings and Beyond. Good xmas specials there right now (I have no affiliation).
Sweetwater says it’s remarkably easy to install. A few user reviews are glowing but suggest a pro should do the work.
I’m wondering what skill level is needed to install this. Anyone here done that? What are the critical points? Should one always turn to a luthier for this kind of work?
