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

I use it in both settings. It's a very flexible device. For an acoustic ambience I keep the effects very clean.

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?
