I have an acoustic mandolin with a K & K acoustic pickup factory installed. It would be just for practice in a small room. Will the mandolin drive the amplifier sufficiently?

It barely drives a 6 string and, even though it has a mike input, it won't carry a mike.

Hello, thank you for your interest. I can't see how it would be a problem. As long as the pick up is functioning correctly, the amp should work well.

Yes, this amp works great for that. I have a mandolin with pickup I used on mine.

I believe it should work, I have not tried on a mandolin, however I would think it would work on most string instruments

It should not lower the sound and should amplify it, this device is for turntables I believe and you should check with yamaha and ask why their phono input lowers sound output, etc.

Yes. I have mine hooked up to passive KRK's, not horrible for the price, however, it's a class-d as in digital amp. Read up and see if it'll work for you. It's okay, but sometimes there can be foldover below the Nyquist frequency. If I could afford better, I'd get one. But, for the price...

No I havent but as long as you have an acoustic electric pick up or a hybrid acoustic electric guitar then it should work just fine

It's really just an acoustic guitar that has a 1/4" jack so I can be plugged into an amp. You couldn't really shed with any distortion on this because it only has one pickup. Does this help?

Hello, Yes this will work for you. Acordians have used the same amplification system as guitars for years

Don't know if I can help you on that as I don't own a Mandolin. I think it would be ok as it is not too wide. It works well on my acoustic-electric guitar.

Definitively, yes. This amp will receive signal from anything with a 1/4" line out. But, the better question is will lap steel sound good with this amp, and that all depends on the style of your playing, the guitar itself, etc. I'm sure that if you did some tinkering with the presets, you could find an acceptable sound. I'm no expert on lap steel guitars, but I don't think that they're usually heavily distorted, so this shouldn't be too bad for it.

It would, but it's more well suited for individual practice as it's a pretty small amp. Although if the venue is small enough it might be loud enough

It plays the same as an 8 string Mandolin. It's the way it sounds that makes it unique. I bought this to play the blues with. It a great compliment to my guitars. And the blues sound great. It also good for bluegrass music as well.

This is a piezzo pickup with a 1/4" plug. It is intended for amplifying acoustic guitars. I have heard of it being used for Rocksmith, though.

i have a an acoustic and a solid body mandolin and violin and I use it for vocals all work very well, I have not tried magnetic pickups on it yet , but depending on what kind of sound you want will depend on if it works..

My wife bought this for me as a gag gift. I'm not sure if it will work with an acoustic/electric instrument, but this amp is not that powerful. Your ukulele will probably be just a loud on its own as the speaker breaks up past the half point. It does a decent job with headphones on the clean setting. You can get some distortion, but it's not that great of a sound if too high on that as well.

Same answer from me, there's no reason why it shouldn't work. My question is why you would want this ? If it's an acoustic, you should be hearing enough on stage, if it's an electric, unless you're running the electric w/o an amp, you're hearing enough from your amp. So, what is the application ?

I don't know about recording specifically, but I can play my mandolin with just a piezo pickup into passive speakers, and it works great! No unwanted noise unless I turn the gain up all the way.
