[Harp-L] Rock star Madcat (was feedback)

[gnarlyheman@xxxxxxxxx]

I just took a look at this video. Besides a flawless harmonica performance, this also shows how you present your act on stage if you want to get an audience's attention. 
Five stars!

PS I would buy ten madcat shaker microphones if I thought it would make me sound this good.

Another approach to avoiding feedback is to get a harp mic with a lower output.
For decades I've been using a Shaker/Madcat Harmonica Microphone which has a much lower output than a bullet mic.
This is an advantage rather than a disadvantage.  With a lower output mic there is much less problem with feedback in any guitar amp and no need to change tubes in your amp to compensate for a hot mic.

Here is a video clip of me (with the Big Joe Manfra Blues Band) using a Shaker/Madcat Harmonica Microphone:

At one miniute and 8 seconds into the video I leaned into the speakers and got my mic 6 inches away from the speakers to get one little intentional squeek of feedback...
