FW: Re: [Harp-L] beginner gear?

["r_buschner@xxxxxxxxxxx" <r_buschner@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I never tried a bottle-o-blues-mic, but i bought one of these Smokey
amps. For playing harp it has way too much gain, in my opinion. Overly
distorted with my Shure 545 and other CR/CM mics, and it takes me to
feedback city as well...
Maybe it works better with a volume control on the mic, but without
that...no, it's a toy.

But with guitar it really smokes - it always causes a lot of laughing,
whenever a jam session is finished ("Guys, you have to finish 'cause of
the neighborship, it's already 2 am!") and we sit around a table then,
having some talk and drinks, and i pick my guitar and the Smokey Amp...
