Nice sound overall. You play QUITE well indeed, and I'm sure that was just a tiny sample

Location: south east Michigan | I've been doing that with my KoaT.
I can hear the "washboard" effect fine unplugged but it does not come through the amp when plugged in. |

Location: Bluffton, SC | If you're aiming for that effect (and personally I always try to add a little percuussive sound in when I'm playing certain tunes but I'm rarely plugged in), maybe consider a uni mic in front of it? |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | Damon, having played both, and owned the 1778LX, I would trade in. If I didn't already have a coupla A's, I would buy the EliteT. I sold the 1778 to purchase one of the A's.
Nice work as usual Randy!!! How bout posting something on the Tak 75 on youtube for us. |

Location: big island | thanks, guys. i agree with weaser. if i was going to use this effect in a song on stage, i would set a mic as close to the strumming as possible. |

Location: Scotland | That's a neat effect. You could use a cheap stick-on soundboard transducer stuck inside, right under where your fingers are brushing. A greeting card buzzer conversion would work just fine.
Hey Randy, I have something lying about my music room which just might do the trick. PM me your address and I'll shoot it out to you. |

As "tough" as bowl-paint may be, I'd suspect you'll detect evidence of it in your top after a while . . . |

Location: big island | i rec'd in the mail today, all the way from scotland, the tuner pickup from templeman. rubber suction cups don't adhere to rough wood surfaces, however, i was able to wedge the pickup between a couple of the braces. it fits snugly and makes great contact with the soundboard. i will post some sound samples to youtube later. it sounds mahhhhvelous!
