RE: [Harp-L] Re: Tuba! - Digitech

Hello,

Here is a short symphony composed by a french harp & guitar player :

The lead instrument (at 0:37 sec) is a harmonica, with a whammy digitech.

It's always difficult to emulate a "real" instrument with an electronic one.  In this case, it works very well.  Tubas huff and puff, and a decent player can capture that sound without a lot of work once the tone is set up properly on the Digitech.

Octave doublers, up or down or both, work very well with harp.  Like I said before, it's the effect that made up my mind the first time I tried an RP200 in a store.
