Re: [Harp-L] collard greens and gravy live at broadbeach blues festival/ lone wolf Pedals

I always set the vocal mic to suit the vocals and haven't really done  
a lot of experimenting with setting one specifically for harp, the  
main issues you need to address if you do are around excessive volume  
for the listener and feedback from the monitors. I generally only  
play into the vocal mic if I have good enough fold back that I can  
hear the harp when I am holding it off the mic with my hands closed,  
if you can do that you can manipulate the tone with your hands and  
prevent it from sounding to harsh or loud, then you can do all the  
wah stuff too. I am always hesitant to hold a harp straight on to a  
vocal mic set for vocals because it is often too loud out front and  
will probably feedback in the fold back.

I hope that helps

Ian
