Re: [Harp-L] re: shaker mic/cherub




But you can't tight-cup a vocal mic, and this is a vocal mic, right?

Why not?


I've seen a lot of great blues players play in a tight-cup (not sure how tight it is, but seems tight to me) using vocal mics (ex: fat Wireless), its absolutely no problem for them. Sure if you want to sound like LW or Rod Piazza you need more than a vocal mic. But otherwise the sound is 95% from the player and the amp does most of the rest (breakup and overtones etc.).

Feel free to correct me, but I think mics like bullets, biscuits and JT-30s etc. are used mainly to add color (for example JT-30's sound nasaly) to the sound and for their dynamic performance not to add crunch and distortion.

just wonder how the Shure is used then, for acoustic or non-blues
applications?

I don't know about the Cherub but a used Shure sm57 should be easy to
find. Nice harp mics.
