Re: [Harp-L] Harper(s) Who play guitar(s)

[Bradford Trainham <btrainham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I play a Takamine 12-string, A Taylor 6-string or a double-neck copy
of the s1275.
I'm in the process of going electric with the harp.  Sometimes, I play
the acoustic-electrics straight through the board. 
Or, I'll use settings I came up with using the M-Audio BlackBox Guitar
processor. 
As I slowly add more stuff to the harmonica sound, it begins to look
like I'll somehow introduce a pre-amp somewhere and then run the
harmonica through a Korg AX10G. 
And... if recent events are any indication, I'll be using the Strnad
mic wither with a rack when I play guitar or hand-held when my hands
are free for such.
