I am a wee beginner, and have a '71 Princeton reverb, and a JT-30 Astatic. However, all I get is feedback and can't get near the amp to make adjustments on it. It just whistles like hell. I can't get any volume or that great sound you got. And, is there anything, ANYTHING like a pedal, feedback reducer..between the mic and the amp?
The Astatics as well as Shure's 520 all sound individual, and some are very prone to feedback. I've tamed the highs of my Astatic by putting in a capacitor (1nF, you need to test different values) from signal to ground. You could try a normal dynamic vocal microphone with an impedance matcher and see if it's getting better. And/or try an equalizer. And try a larger room, that makes a big difference as well.
Gerd, congratulations on you efforts!..that's some real happening shit on that first mic. It warms me to the marrow of my bones. Thanks so much for sharing .. and.. keep pumping out that golden honey,
that's awesome. I'd never stopped to wonder about this tone, but that's like an institution of tone. I just stumbled upon this, and boy am I glad I did.

hi. I can see that you have some kind of converter on the microphones jack.
the original is a screw type of thing.
where did you find that converter so it got to a XLR? wanna know. cuz I would like to get one =)
I have a same microphone.
