Re: Fwd: [Harp-L] Vocal mic assistance

[Michael Rogers <bullfrog9@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I used my Fireball for vocals and acoustic harp, for a while, but found 
that if you get off the mic at all, while singing, the volume drops 
off.  I think it's pretty uni-directional.  I went back to my SM58 for 
vocals.  I now only use my Fireball, when I'm just playing acoustically, 
backing somebody.  Of course, this is just my personal experience.  
Different strokes for different folks.

I tend to get off the mic, occasionally, while singing, because I'm blind.
