My small bodied Hodson D-hole has a Kent Armstrong magnetic pickup and a Bigtone going through an inbuilt Fishman blender. Sound is excellent and variable from electric archtop to full acoustic. Hear it on Youtube (search Kliphuis Mackenzie) from a gig last year.
I also use various Stimers on my Gitanes and Duponts into the AER. I used this setup with Tim Kliphuis recently and with a (pa company provided) condensor mic proved his favourite sound for concerts -more so than the Hodson I used with him previously.
Not a great lover of Bigtones on their own BTW but a SansAmp acoustic DI helps.
The Schertler I used with Jorgenson rarely comes out now. I seem to be going through an 'electric' period!!
