[Harp-L] Re: amp or mic?



I think it's "garbarge in, garbage out."

It starts with the mic.

The amp will only attempt to reproduce what it's been given.

So I say mic.

The mic pushes the amp. Tells it what to do. And how to sound.

I've seen some guys who have killer acoustic tone and technique try to play amplified with no prior experience, and they sound thin and flat. There's more you can do through mic technique to produce great amplified tone.

Therefore the mic takes it, methinks.

If all else remains the same (i.e. the player), then the amp will have
a MUCH bigger impact on tone than the microphone will.
