Extreme Electric Blues Harmonica

Here's what you get when you play a Hohner Ab harp (2nd position, key of Eb) into a Boss Micro BR recorder using high distortion guitar effects.

i heard that using guitar effects on a harmonica is prone to feedback.. u ever have any problems with that?

[bluesmanDon]

Yeah, I get alot of feedback when I try to use too much distortion on stage. I've heard that you can use a very small amp that distorts easily before it gets too loud. You can then mic it up through a PA. Haven't tried it yet.

I have a boss micro br... but i dont have any way of recording a harp through the guitar effects. i need a harp mic...

It's a shame there isnt a way to put distortion (lol like the "Grinder" effect) on vocals xD

[bluesmanDon]

All I am using is a Shure PG58 vocal mic directly into the guitar input. It works really well considering that the mic only cost $60 new. I am going to buy a real harp mic in the future because the harp always comes through the amp way louder than my vocals using only one mic at the same time. That and it's kind of awkward to switch between to harp and vocals quickly on the same mic.
