Just got my torpedo yesterday. My amp is a basically a toy, so I borrowed a 
friend's. I am not in Harper's league, but the Mic does everything Bushman 
says it does. Clean, dirty, vocals or harp, the mic handled everything. I 
played and sang clean then kicked the gain up all the way with no feedback. 
Just produced a nice gravelly tone. I am happy. Well, no I'm not. Now I need 
to get a decent amp.
