Re: [Harp-L] Son of Dave (was Loop Pedal)

Hi Ron

Sorry for the previous mis-post, in answer to your question: Benjamin was indeed the catalyst for me to explore looping, we became good friends shortly after his first CD, I made a few custom mics for him & he in turn inspired me to try looping (the fact that his father & I have the same first name is pure coincidence). 

S.o.D no longer uses a bullet mic, I believe he's favouring an SM57 with IMT at present (born out of a frustration with the logevity of crystals). But the similarities, mics/amps etc are more do do with the tools of the trade, as far as harp players go at least...

All the best

Dave

  You should also check out Son of Dave...



  Dave, very interesting.  Your original post is good advice on what equipment to use to do a solo act.  Nice harp playing and tone.
  I did check out Son of Dave ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_c5DqWVRXA&NR=1 ).  He's terrific.  Just curious - do u have any affiliation with him?  Wondering why he, Benjamin Darvill, calls himself "Son of Dave".
  I am also curious as to why u both choose to sing into the same bullet mic that you are playing harp into, as opposed to using a separate dedicated vocal mic on a stand.
