Re: [Harp-L] MV1 - Harmonica Finger Mic by Microvox

[Paul Routledge <kingley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I used a Microvox a few years ago in a semi acoustic duo setting for a 
short while. It allows you to amplify all the hand techniques used on 
the harp.
But personally I found it a bit of a feedback monster.
I much prefer the Shaker Madcat for that kind of thing yet even that I 
found a little awkward to get used to. Supposedly it is good with 
effects pedals though I can't comment on that as I don't use any apart 
from a little delay now and then.

In my opinion if you want a mic to pick up your hand techniques then I 
would just use a vocal mic on a stand something like a Shure SM58 or 
any other good quality mic.
