Harp Ninja--- worth it?

Posted Sun, 03/04/2018 - 09:29 by gwknopp@gmail.com

I need to improve my ability to TB individual holes accurately. Moving from a 4 draw to a 7 draw (for example) I still often miss the hole slightly or even find 6 instead of 7.

Harp Ninja seems like it might be a useful practice aid.

Have you guys used it in that way and what do you think is its value? How have you used it?

Thanks

Garageband effect plugins what so ever :)

When watching this person's performance

https://youtu.be/RuH-Keoqca4?t=77

In one of her video she said she uses reverb and other effects in garageband. I did ask here but did not get any reply

Can any body recommend me effects for garageband to make harmonica sound better ?

Thanks

Need to set Volume control to zero when switching on a tube amp?

Posted Wed, 01/17/2018 - 11:45 by Grumpelhuber

Dear all,

as I have very little experience with tube amps I wanted to ask wether it is better to set the volume control and/or gain to zero when switching a tube powered amp on or off?

From my technical understanding I would say it doesn't matter as the tubes have no power when switching on. So no amplification should take place that could damage the amp. However, I am not sure and just wanted to ask.

Thank you very much for your opinions!

Kind regards, Steffen

Fender Champion paired with the Bulletini

Posted Wed, 11/08/2017 - 01:17 by John S

I have been watching Davids very good review process of Amps and decided the Fender Champion 20 was exactly what I wanted. Having Davids favourably comment on it convinced me to go ahead. The review of mics used also convinced me to go for the Bulletini VC. I am very pleased with the resulting combo. Great sound perfect for my needs. Thanks David. The Bulletini of course will be used with additional amps In the future. What a great mic fits so well on the hand you don't even know its there. Greg of Blowsmeaway must be congratulated on the quality of the product and wonderful sound. continue reading...

Roland MicroCube Amp Settings

Posted Tue, 10/03/2017 - 16:52 by rstgelais

Hi All,

I'd like to know what ya'll recommend for settings on a Roland MicroCube Amp. I've got a Green Bullet Mic but also just purchased a Shaker MadCat Mic. I know very little about amplifiers and amp settings. When I record through the amp it sounds OK for the most part but sounds really "distorted" with heavy tongue flutters and shakes.

Right now I've got the following settings:

Bass: cranked all the way to +

Trebel: ~3 from the -

Mid: right in the middle between + and -

Gain: cranked all the way to + continue reading...
