Harmonica Effects

I play amplified harmonica through several different digital effects, including octave shifting, delay, vibrato, chorus, etc. I forgot to shoot a close-up on the equipment, so here's a list:

RP200A Multi-Effects Processor
Shure Green Bullet Microphone (Reissue)
Electar Solid-State Guitar Amp
Hohner Golden Melody Harmonicas (A and E, self-customized)

This is how John Popper plays(Blues Traveler) ... so does this here work:

microphone->effect pedal->amp ? ... I want also to play like this ...

Thanks for a good vid, which gives a good clear demonstration of the gear you use.

No, I disagree.. I wanna hear new things! Creative things! This is the time for revolution in the world of harmonica, and that is not gonna happen if we just stay around in old Chicago tone all the time.. Been there, done that^^

too much delay, crap distortion, freaky sounds, unnecessary those effects, not a real blues tone, just plug it to a tube amp, and a bit of delay or reverb, much better, and you get the real chicago tone!!!
