[Harp-L] Boss FBM-1, Digitech RP200, and Bottle o' Blues

[Richard Hunter <turtlehill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I did a little more testing on my Boss FBM-1 Fender Bassman emulator 
pedal last night, and found that it sounds very, very nice with the 
Bottle o' Blues mic--y'know, "nice" in that kind of deep brown Chicago 
way. It occurred to me that the lack of reverb and delay in this pedal 
can be compensated for very easily by putting the pedal in front of my 
Digitech RP200, and setting up a patch or 2 on the Digitech for delay or 
reverb only.  Since I'm already taking the Digitech to gigs, and since 
the Boss pedal and a short 1/4" patch cable take up barely any 
additional space and weight in a gig bag, it's an easy way to get 
another flavor into the setup.

A little more testing showed that the Bottle o'Blues also works very 
well with the set of 40 patches I've designed for the Digitech RP200 and 
the Audix Fireball mic.  Who knew?

On the same subject, later this week, I'm releasing the updated set of 
40 patches for the Digitech RP200 and Audix Fireball to all current 
owners of the first patchset for the RP200. This is a free update. 
Prospective buyers who own either a Bottle o' Blues or a "stick" vocal 
mic should find that this set works very well for them.
