RE: mic question

["Hambone Hamilton" <harpmanx@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,
It's been said before, and they're hard to find, but one thing that WILL 
help is a Rocktron Microhush Pedal.   I've got two, and they do alot towards 
cutting down mic feedback, I use one on my bullet and one on the mic from my 
amp to the PA.  It's not a magic bullet, but a very useful tool.

Also, you could use an EQ pedal...cut the high and low bands all the way 
down, midline the rest and season to taste.  Also very useful, and cheap.

A good cable will help somewhat, but not alot.  If that mic has a really hot 
element, it's gonna feed to that BJ.  Have you changed the preamp tubes?  I 
had good results with a mix of 12at7's and 12ay7's when I had my Blues Jr.

Hope this Helps.
