Hey everyone!

I bought the Eagle II Acoustic/Electric about 6 months ago and really love it, as it has cut down the feedback through my amp. (It has the Kavanjo head on it). However, I still have trouble trying to switch to a "dirty" sound, it will still feed back if there is any gain on it. I play in a rowdy country/psychobilly/rock style band and sometimes the clean sound isn't enough. I play through a Fender tube amp with my Gretch hollowbody guitar and use it for the banjo too, don't want to haul two amps around to gigs if possible.

Any advice? Thanks!

Not sure how it would work with the Kevanjo since its more like an electric guitar pickup, but worth a try. Other than that, you need something where you can eq out the feedback, like a LR Baggs para DI or I use a Tonebone PZ Pre.
