RE: [Harp-L] Why use an effects pedal?

[Tim Dougherty <timd@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Michael.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not putting the technique 
down.  I've just haven't been present when somebody's using effects.  I'd 
like to know, from folks like you, why you use delay in a live 
situation.  Jason Ricci is a great example, I'll have to go back and listen 
again.  I didn't notice any effects on Feel Good Funk, other than normal 
studio stuff - but it's been a while.  Haven't seen him live.

Thanks,
