Note to everyone, Cathy and I have been experiencing issues with our legs walking. So, we limited our movements on all ports for this cruise.

Hi Jim, thanks for the review! I bought this as my first amp as I am just dabbling in amplified playing. I am using a hand-made low impedance mic but I get a good crunchy sound from the virtual pedals and effects. The mic however is pretty uncomfortable in my hand so I'm looking for something more easily gripped. Because this is not a tube amp, and I can achieve a good sound without a tube or standard harp mic, I'm wondering if I should get a bullet/ini, Jason Ricci, etc. style mic. Which are you using? Any thoughts you have would be appreciated! thanks
@packyrat4 ай бұрын
I have a bullet mic, don't use it, also have 2 Shure SM58, and 1 Shure SM57. I am not a blues player, I play single notes, so those others work for me. We travel alot, so i use whatever they have available. That little amp is okay, but, i use at home. You might trying to loop it to you belt, and use a 3 foot cord....good luck, thanks for the reply.

What is the microphone and cord. Is there and adapter going to the amp? Such as an impedance transformer. I’m on a tithe budget have spark 40 and harmonica it’s the microphone hone and proper hoo loop that’s getting me.
