[Harp-L] re: mic feedback

[clayton goldstein <clay@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'll put in my, inconsistent harp-ler, two cents:
... I don't have much of a problem with feedback, and I must admit, I  
can, and do, get quite loud on occasion. I try to get excruciatingly  
quiet too, dynamics is everything, but that's another post.  I use a  
green bullet element in an astatic casing with a volume control (not  
an on/off switch) at the pinky, like the Hohner Blues Blaster with the  
different element.  It goes through an original 1960 or late '50's  
bassman. I get maximum volume, with acceptable tone, by working that  
volume control with my pinky, follow the phrasing if nessesary, being  
very conscience of it.  Using several the volume options, not just on/ 
off, and knocking it off at the first sign of squeal.  I find the  
green bullet volume control's position, at the heel of the hand awkward.

Maybe I should try some of the "devices," but I feel consistently in  
control this way. That means what's coming out of the amp is my fault,  
I get all the blame.

Enjoy,

Clay
