[Harp-L] RE: Harp-L Digest, Vol 59, Issue 116 - Shaker microphones

[Joel Dorow <joel.dorow@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Shaker mic, which i like.  it played ok through my amp,  but 
wasn't as loud as other mics i plugged in.

i found a preamp that Shaker recommended - Gigpro by L.R. Baggs - which 
i got and the new sound was awesome.
