RE: [Harp-L] Paul Delay -"Space Case"



From: "Jerl Welch" <dfwhoot@xxxxxxxxx>

We remember Paul appearing at spah a few years back and he was so awesome. I remember that he played through the house PA but he carried his harps in his briefcase and also plugged his mic into the briefcase from the outside.He had some unit inside . Does anyone remember what he was using ?

Jerl, It was a ZOOM multi-effect

Subject: Paul deLay's "space case"

I had the opportunity to meet and jam with Paul deLay
a few years ago (it's worth coming out of lurk-mode
just to brag about that ! :) ), so for whoever was
wondering, here's what he uses (at least did in 1999).
He was playing Hohner Big River diatonics and (I
think) chromonica Chro's (in several keys), using a
JT-30 mic.
The "Space case" is a briefcase which he uses as a
harp carrying case AND amp. In it he installed a
direct box plugged into a "ZOOM" multi-effect amp
simulator, which he uses to get the great variety of
sounds he uses. This goes direct to the PA soundboard.
Apropos the discussion of marking harps - Paul
actually had a small desktop lamp installed in the
case as well, to see the harps on a dark stage!
All in all a very clever and convenient rig.
In my opinion, Paul deLay is one of the most brilliant
an innovative harp players alive
