Killing me Softly

[KahFlex]

Is it possible to plug a eleuke into a electric guitar amplifier? If so, can you also use distortion effects and effect pedals? BTW great song ;)

@KahFlex

Thank you for the comment! Yes it is possible to use guitar effects with an eleuke. I do it depending on what type of song I'm doing and with which band...(i.e. Rock band, Fuzzbox, compressor, flanger. Reggae: Delay, super chorus, Wah. Etc.) You may have to adjust the effects to stop the occasional feedback but all n all it sounds really awesome! Try it and let me know how it goes! =)

Aloha auinapo, bro. Looks like the mahogany MHP. What size is it?

Sound great, glad to hear it. Mahalo, you say? He me iki ia.

[senatorclaghorn]

Thanks very much for sharing this. I am looking at picking up this brand in concert size. How is the action/setup on this? How is the sound through the headphones?

[olu143]

You're welcome senator. Actually this particular eleuke has excellent sound when plugged into an amp. (Which is how I have it here.) I shortened down the frets for more action but it alrerady comes with the string action pretty low already. All in all it is a pretty good lightweight ukulele worth picking up. =)

[senatorclaghorn]

Thanks for the valuable info. These are pretty much available only online where I am and I hate to commit to one without hearing some good words from current owners.

[olu143]

No prob! Glad to help! =)

[link3492]

hey man loved the song.

may i ask what ukulele you have got there?

[olu143]

Thank you for the comment. It's an Eleuke. It's made in Japan. It has a good sound when plugged in to an amp. :)

[ukulele911]

It's pretty quiet acoustically. I think it's meant to be used with an amp. But you cant beat the sound when it's plugged in! Thanks for the comment! :D
