picked one up for the fujara... the really quiet overtone contra bass flute... i have it mic'ed up with an akg headset element attached to the head of the flute, running into an akg wireless mic system that sounds much better than the old shure sm10 element... ( which would be easier without the extra cordless stuff.) for gits and shiggles i ran everything through an octa bass pedal for some really stupidly lush lows... a nice helping of reverb and way too much delay and its an intergalactic siberian shepherds flute! the roland has a decent reverb, and the delay is perfect for my intentions... its not super controllable but for a simple grab and go, battery powered option amplifier, its pretty cool... it has 8 AA batteries in the batt pack, and a laptop style power cord... supposed to get phenomenal battery life so synchronize your watches i just put in a fresh set of duracells. ( ive noticed no difference in the sound so far between batteries and wall power) i may actually dust off an electric or two and maybe plug in a real mic and uncase an acoustic... but tonight im headed to a sound healers circle... they expect gongs and bowls but tonight is flutes and hang... i ought to try micing the hang with this thing,,,, hmmmmm... i have a couple electret condensers and some goosenecks...
