Subject: [Harp-L] Raising or Tilting Your Amp
On a whim, I recently purchased an amp stand-- the kind that raises
the amp a few inches off the floor and also tilts it toward your
ears (assuming you play in front of your amp). I haven't used it on
stage yet, though I've tried it at home. Not sure what to make of
it, or if I've heard enough to say it makes a difference.
Feedback is not an issue for me, though I can see for some, it would
be. You're aiming your amp towards your microphone.
I would think that it would tame an overly bassy amp or microphone,
since the bass reinforcement that comes from bouncing the sound off
the floor wouldn't be as pronounced.
Here's my question. Does anyone else use these stands as part of
their harmonica amplification setup? What are the advantages? What
are the drawbacks?
Cheers,
