I make what many people call the Rod Piazza Mod to my mics. Astatic
or Shure. I put a 500K to 1Meg pot and a cap across the two posts
depending how hot the mic is. The cap and the pot vary from mic to mic
but stay within a specific range. The caps can be from .001 mfd to
.004 mfd in my experience (if I remember correctly) I think the codes
are 102 to 471. The pot will allow you to turn the feed of the mic
back and turn the amp up to get a good tone range before feedback and
the cap works as a high pass filter, exactly like the bright caps on
Fender amps. The pot works like a high frequency low pass filter
cutting out the highs so if you do not use the cap when you get down
low on the pot it will sound muddy, i.e. no highs. This mod will give
you tons of control over your set up. It is perhaps the best and
simplest mod you can do to control your on stage volume and fight the
feedback.
