I love the sound of a tube amp myself but I tend to use a direct approach cause most of the time I am on stage only once in a while. While trying both of them, I ran it trough a tube amp and the iMIX in my eyes was far superior. I tended to have more feedback with the Fishman. Also, I have heard nothing but good reviews about plugging in direct with this system. When I am recording for bands in studio's, I use the Gearbox software and I just love it. Every engineer that I work with uses it and it allows me the freedom to choose the sound I want. I had a HIWATT 50 Custom but it was way too heavy to cart around so the Gearbox was a welcome alternative. I still want to get another tube amp but that will have to wait for a little while longer! Keep on Jammin' Hey Pribek, you have a very good point with that.

I've been experimenting a lot lately and the best thing I've come up with is, using a soundhole pick-up with a piezo under the bridge but running through a clean sounding tube amp, one designed for electric guitar rather than acoustic. It's not the holy grail, has some flaes in the high end but, I like the warmth of the tubes. I’m curious about what you are running through an amp or PA system.
