Hi there, I think of buying a Fireballmic. Now there are two models on the market, same price. The Fireball V has a volume control. Has anyone experience using them or can help me which to choose?

Gapping draw notes on Seydel 1847 Classic

Hi there

 

I didn't want to hijack the thread on the special 20 customization, so started this one instead.

I have had bad luck with two Seydel Classics now - leaky sounding draw notes on holes 3 & 4. The first one I bought with this issue was in A, and after a chat with their (very friendly and service-minded!) customer service, I sent it back for adjustment. It played like a dream when it came back! continue reading...

Danelectro echo pedal

As a recommendation of David I bought the Danelectro Echo Pedal and used it together with my Laney Cub 10 amp. Unfortunately the pedal doesn’t work  anymore and I read a review, that this happens often, cause the production is bad by its cold solder. In German music shops there are just a view pieces left. Therefore I’m looking for an alternative pedal. Which type would be a good recommendation?

Ultimate 58 into a TC Helicon?

Hi all, I recently saw Magic Dick play with Shun Ng and noticed he had a very simple set up - one of Greg Heumann's ultimate 58s right into the TC Helicon Mic Mechanic and into the PA system. It was a small venue and he switched often between chromactic and diatonic. Very clean sound and great tone (although you know it's Magic Dick so a lot of that is his decades of playing).

 

I'm just curious if anyone else has used the Mic Mechanic as a pre-amp to go straight into the PA? Of if there are other similar set ups that you have used to plug into a PA? continue reading...

Greetings.  I have been coasting along learning to play level 7 Blues for Paul Delay.  I have been making good progress.  Suddenly I am sounding out of tune with the jam track.  I have recorded myself playing the song from the track previously and I play along with that recording and it sounds fine.  But when I try playing along the jam track of late something isnt quite right.  any suggestions.  I am puzzled by this.  Thanks

got  blues jnr back today after it has been converted to a harp amp by Steve Rowse in uk. Even with my very limited experience it sounds great. He has fitted a line out to allow me to connect to pa and use the amp as a monitor.

New harp player.

Hey, I just recently bought a harmonica and am very excited to dive in and start learning how to play it. I have started the introductory courses on this page, but I have noticed that David is asking for us to be using an A harmonica for it. I bought a C note MS -Series harp and was wondering if this will have a noticeable effect on my learning. If so is there other resources I should be using? Also one last thing, where is the best place to start on this page? continue reading...
