Members LordBTY Posted October 18, 2012 Members Share Posted October 18, 2012 This may well get a good amount of hate, but I figured I'd ask around. I need something with a fairly subtle warm distortion to hook my semi-acoustic ukulele up to. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nightflameauto Posted October 18, 2012 Members Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'm honestly thinking something like a Peavey Bandit. I know lots of dudes using those as violin amps because they clean up well and can add just a hint of drive really well if set up properly. (Transtube type prefered if you need just a touch of grit.)

Members telephant Posted October 18, 2012 Members Share Posted October 18, 2012 It depends on how loud you want. A Peavey Bandit would work, or a Fender Champ or Pro Junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeadNight Warrior Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 You'd probably get more help from the EG forum, or maybe the AG forum. There's at least a few at EG that dick about with ukes and whatnot. Don't come to Amps if you actually want help on something; you'd have better odds of winning the lottery. If you want tits/arses/fatties, political/religious arguments, Laney cabinet pics, or threads about band dramas, you're in the right place.

Without question I'd go with something like the Acoustasonic http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ampli...itar-combo-ampyou could add a pedal for some overdrive. The Acoustasonic should have some amount of feedback elimination too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeadNight Warrior Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 If he wants overdrive, I wouldn't put it through an "acoustic" amp. Anything that's supposed to amplify an acoustic instrument should let through a lot more high end than you'd want for putting an OD pedal in front of it. Unless you're running some pedal that has a built in "cabinet" filter option to more dramatically roll off the high end. Also, are you talking about piezos or a mic type arrangement? Piezos generally sound pretty poor through OD, IMO. A decent mic'd signal can actually sound quite nice though. This is from guitar experience though... don't have uke experience myself.

Members peavey_impact Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 The new fender acoustasonic amps apparently have channels for acoustic/electric instruments and tweed/blackface/british channels for electrics. Seems like a good choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members greg apocalypse Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 That's funny, I think he'd want like a matamp or Electric Amp MV unit.edit: I imagine something like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
