Re: [Harp-L] Best PA setting to play with band

[Boris Plotnikov <ploboris@xxxxxxxxx>]

Experimenting a lot with dfferent setup I found the best setup for best
tone for me: mix of PA and micked amp (for small room, PA and unmicked
amp). Cupped mic to guitar amp have great dynamics and timbe variation, but
can be a bit muddy, feedback prone, and not always cut mix enough good
especially if electric guitar is presented, cupped mic to PA  opposite
usually have almost zero feedback problem, but weak dynamic (the same tone
no matter how you place your hands and how loud or soft you play, just
different volume), so I found .


Currently I have Rocktron Hush noise gate (helps against feedback) - Boss
Harmonist HR-2 - MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay - LoneWolf HarpAttack
(usually I use it only for solid state amps or tube amps with not enough
crunch) - Line6 POD HD (for special effects I bypass it by special
truebypass box) - Boss RC30 Loop Station which also splits signal to 1) MXR
6 band EQ - BBE Sonic Stomp - to amp, 2) DI box to PA.
