Re: [Harp-L] Can you use one of the digitech devices and PA in an acoustic band?

[g.e.mulholland@xxxxxxxxx]

The rp will be great for what you want, some great organ patches, nice bluesy patches and lovely reverbs and delays. I play in an Irish acoustic band and the rp is perfect for me. I mostly go for a very clean sound with some delay and a touch of reverb . But we throw in some blues numbers and there's a waterboys song we do we're I use the harp for organ effect. Richards patches cover all this easy and sound great

We play blues and rags that were originally recorded in the 20s and 30s as well as some recent versions of those types of songs--such as Blind Blake, Mississippi John Hurt, Reverend Gary Davis, and some Hot Tuna versions.  We use microphones to be heard in clubs, and I use a Microvox mini-mike or an Audix Fireball, cupping the mike, not using a mike stand.  Sometimes we aim at a Chicago sound, sometimes a country sound, sometimes old Jazz, sometimes like Gospel.  I am wondering whether one of the digitech devices and the HunterSound patches could add some variety to harp parts I play--to sound like an organ or a horn.  Or do the digitechs really only work in loud electric settings?
