Amplifying an acoustic guitar is one thing humanity has not truly acceptably figured out. What is the best path to amplifying my jumbo

The options are to mic it which, the mic will hit feedback before you hit the proper volume. You cannot move away from the mic even an inch

Clip on mic. Maybe the best option but you have to get the expensive one

Install pickup - has to be a great pickup and then has to go through a pedal for processing. That is the route im taking. I've looked at it every way and cannot find an easier path. This is the guitar I like and I want to get it amplified.

Not real excited about drilling a hole. Putting it off as long as possible

Best sound I ever got from an acoustic guitar was a double microphone setup. One near the bridge and another near the neck.

Nothing ever came close.

I’ve played some beautiful songs and they all sounded like shit upon listening to the recording. Fucking technology.
