- Jason Ricci and The Lone Wolf Blues Company bring you the Jason Ricci Signature Harmonica Microphone.
THE FOLLOWING IS JASON RICCI'S DESCRIPTION OF THE MICROPHONE:
"When I came to Randy Landry and the team at Lone Wolf about designing a microphone, I really didn't want to redesign or customize an existing microphone as I had already done this in the past with the 57 and another great company. I never thought Lone Wolf would be able to do it or would ever take such a big risk! I wanted to build something unique to the modern day needs of the harmonica world, but having been involved in a few harmonica-related designs and fabrication business ventures, I knew the risks were substantial, and I could only hope for such cooperation and funding on a concept. I was blessed with the cooperation of an exceptional team under Randy Landry with Lone Wolf. For the last one and half years, Lone Wolf Blues Company has done a brilliant job at bringing the microphone I had envisioned into reality, looking, sounding, and feeling better than I could have ever imagined it. This wasn't easy, and we struggled, but we had fun and learned a lot by building a microphone both myself and everyone at Lone Wolf Blues Company is proud of. The microphone may literally have my signature on it, but a group of hard-working Americans from Louisiana have all put their marks on this exceptional mic."
"To my ears "The Jason Ricci Signature Mic" by Lone Wolf Blues Company sounds much like a standard Shure 57 type unidirectional Instrument Mic with perhaps a slightly more pronounced bottom end. When held/cupped tightly, I hear the microphone compress more than a 57 can, and thus it’s capable of a bit more distortion or break up. Cupping the microphone less tightly produces a nearly identical tone to that of a 57 or the Unidyne III "Butterfield" Mic with a brilliant, natural, and unaffected virtual acoustic harmonica sound. The ergonomics of the Jason Ricci Signature Mic and its overall shape were carefully designed, tested, and then scrapped a few times by all of us before resulting in the finished product we bring you now. The Jason Ricci Signature Mic, I feel, is the perfect compromise between the "Bullet" versus the "Stick Mic" debate where ergonomics are concerned. The volume control knob is perfectly situated to give the player, who holds the mic conventionally, easy access to volume changes without ever having to uncup by using the back pinky finger. Here is a microphone that is super comfortable; designed for harmonica players; looks good with high-quality, hand-fabricated parts and custom powder coating, sparkles, UV printing, and more. It feels good; it sounds great. It is simply the best microphone I have ever played with harmonica, and I couldn't have done any of it without the help of Randy Landry, Nathan Heck, and the whole team at Lone Wolf Blues Company!"

Hi Jason, Thank you for the subliminal plug in your video I really do love this mic. I've used a variety of vocal mics for Harmonica over the past 50 years. I've been using a Shure 545S mic with a volume control mod for 16 years. I've always preferred a tone that was more articulate to one that's an overdrive sound that's too cluttered. I play a variety of music styles so I like a mic that's more versatile and can be used in multiple situations. The one drawback to the SM 57"s and the 545's is the noise that happens when your handling them when they're turned up and from your breathing especially in the recording studio. A quiet mic that responds to your playing Harmonica is just what I've been looking for. This mic grill is not much wider and it weighs about the same as the 545S I've been using. I like the shape of the top of the flare on the grill because you can actually put the harmonica at the optimum position in front of the element. I should be able to adapt to it easily. Thanks for the work you and the crew at Lone Wolf have done to make this a Great Harmonica Microphone.
Thanks Brian Lone Wolf and I are very happy to have a great player like you playing this stuff!!! Thank you.
Great harp player
I have been a huge fan since you were out sharing your first studio album "Rocket 9" and it's with great joy that I will be getting this microphone you helped inspire and create. Thanks for all the inspiration MoonKat!!
Yeaah Jason the best for long time !! I see you at terville (France) i hope see you later.. sorry for m’y english
I got one about months ago. Prior to that I was using a Bottle O Blues. This blows that out of the water. Much more volume and tone. More dollars too but it's worth it.
I swear you are like Bob Odenkirks cool cousin lol sweet mics man
That's the cleanest mic I've heard! Ever!
Mooncat...I am stoked to finally see you play live at your gig next week at Terra Blues in NYC. Bring on the tone brotherman!!!
That mic sounds & looks great. I too had a much loved crystal jt-30 - and the crystal slowly died. Spent years trying to get a sound as good, and ended up at a Shure 57 sound. As I get better at it I actually want to hear what I am doing! If I live to be two hundred & ten I'll be nearly as good as you. Keep at it, love your playing.
So fine as always my friend !
Okay, now I want one.
You have finally constructed your own light saber. :D
HA!!!!
tottally getting this mic!
Pretty cool. I like the hammer tone paint style
Jees jas lose the tie
Been listing to you a few years now your harp licks are truly unbelievable
Keep the music in ya

Sweet!!!
I just ordered one. This is great. I use a Green Bullet. The volume knob it what I needed on it most and the 57 falls out on my hands and is annoying because it wasn't made for this use.
What a great mike. I just love it. Totally kicks ass. " I GOT MINE".
Great demo!
Congrats, brother. She looks and sounds great!
I wanna be Jason Ricci 😍
Hi Jason,
Thank you for the great description of the new microphone.
But I would still like to try it before buying.
Is there a store in the Czech Republic where this would be possible?
Thank you very much.
Unfortunately not there are however dozens of videos. Additionally you could try a 57 for an extremely similar sound then imagine if it was much easier to hold and came with a volume control.
guaaauuu jason ricci me gustaria que agas videos de tus tecnicas traducido en castellano
I use a 57
I went to buy one of these last week and unfortunately they have been discontinued. They still sell the 1/4" jack version however.
The 1/4 is the same mic in every way just an easier jack for most people.
@@jasonricci I hope he will start making the xlr one again in the future. I have a xlr samsung wireless set up so the 1/4" would require me to buy an adapter from Blows Me Away (more length and weight). I ordered a Audix fireball V for now. It sounds pretty good although its nowhere as cool looking as your mike and it does not have that cool flared end to facilitate easy holding like your mike.
Jason, when you cup this microphone, do you keep the middle finger on your right hand straight or curled around the barrel of the mic?
No more on my other hand I think. I'll have to go watch one of my own videos. 😆
Hi! Would you mind give me the difference between your mic and an SM57. I'm curious how it is different as a clean sound.
Its almost identical. It would be difficult for anyone to pass a blind test. This mic has perhaps a hair more bass to it. The main difference is its designed to be much easier to hold and has no handling noise unlike the 57 which I battled for years.
Fantastic video.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌙🐈⬛93/93
JASON RICCI, does this lonewolf microphone fix the impedance issues with using any guitar amplifier because mostly its a mismatch issue causing frequency masking problems. I'm trying to get that midrange honky harp tone by using any cheap microphone like a shure 57 or shure 58 with any guitar amplifier but not sure which harp guitar pedal can fix this problem.
Yes. It is currently ONLY offered in HI Z so simply use a standard 1/4" guitar cable. ❤️
This is perfect timing! I've been looking at buying my first mic, either a Bulletini or an Ultimate SM57. I have question regarding how it connects. What kind of cables would I need for either impedance?
Either! You can order a Hi-z model and use a 1/4 to 1/4 guitar cable or you can use an xlr and a hi to low impedance transformer.
Thanks, Jason.
The nice thing about the sm57 is that is it can also be used on a mic stand. I’ve heard you cannot with this one from a representative on FB. I wonder why it’s discouraged with this one..
It's not being discouraged, it's designed and made to be held in the hand when playing Harmonica.
The microphone is used on a mic stand in this video at the 5:45
may i have one
Hi jason. I have a question about your wireless system. My transmitter the samson ax1 is defect. It's not availible anymore. You have another one i think. Do you have another brand. Greetz Alfred from the netherlands.
There are some newer brands out there Im sorry I don't know the names off hand....They are much more streamline as well and look great! The recievers are almost as small as the transmitters! I do know Sennheiser is currently making one....Sorry I cant be of more help...J
I still don't understand how to use the pedals to get that sound
Have you seen my vid on getting loud with no feed back without any pedals yet?
@@jasonricci hahaha I'm watching that right now, when are you going to post on more triangles and how to use them I can't stop playing them, I'm gonna buy your signature mic I just don't know how to use the overdrive sound yet I'm new to the whole electronic side of it. I'm going to get an Orange amp. Pat Ramsey and you have saved my life multiple times, anything you play on the harmonica I've been trying to play. I think I'm gonna move to neworleans.
It would be a dream to have a lesson with you I'd be a kid in a candy shop with every lick you'd teach me. God it would be a dream to hear you play in person. I just want you to know this music is all I live for and you and Pat are the reason I'm playing today so thank you and keep doing what you are doing.
I also have a question about some of the riffs you do and how you link them together with the permutations that you use.
I understand now...
Another question does it plug into standard plug outlets on amps?
Yes!
I have small hands,Richie, will it work for me?
Yes ! Its smaller than a small bullet mic. very easy to cup and no handling noise.
Joe Pinto thank you, mr. Pinto!
Wtf this is crazy
