[Harp-L] Re: volume, controls

[SONNYTONE@xxxxxxx]

If you cannot create enough air by yourself to be able to control the  
slightest nuance to that big explosive chord, you need to practice more, get  more 
material to help you become a better player. Nothing worse than a LOUD poor  
harp player. In my beginning years as a harp amp designer, I used one of  the 
best Sabine Feedback eliminators there was, 32 frequencies,  any  frequency that 
was causing feedback red lighted, you would pull down the knob  just enough 
to make the red light go away. Most mics fed back at different  frequencies, 
but anywhere from 800 ohms to 1.6K could cause feedback. So after I  was done 
pulling all my feedback out, I had a loud amp, but with ZERO tone. I  never 
looked back at trying to get just volume and always balanced tone with  volume. 
Learning how to set up the 410 to get as loud as you need without  feedback took 
quite some time, but all the info is given to you as the customer.  The 
Cruncher does not even need many changes, you can try a couple, but it just  
screams on it's own with tone and volume in a smaller package. No substitution  for 
practice.
