How To Turn A Harmonica Amp Up LOUD! (No Feedback)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 гру 2020
- Here I explain how to get the MOST volume out of your amp simply by dialing in your amp without anti feed back pedals or any pedals. All I'm using here is a Microphone, chord and an amp. Please also see this article: / anti-feed-back-7032967
Gear:v
1.) Blue Moon Hohner Marine Band in A.
2.) Jason Ricci Signature Microphone by The Lone Wolf Blues Company,
3.) XLR Microphone cable
4.) Impedance transformer Low to High
5.) Harp Gear HG-50 4/10" 50 watt tube amplifier
* Note: you will get more volume and actual AMP/SPEAKER distortion using a low z microphone like this Jason Ricci signature mic. However, you will get more break up at a LOWER volume using a high z microphone or bullet style.

Articulate fun clear and intelligent explanation. Thanks a ton.
Thanks, Jason! Good to see you're back in action.
I'll try it on next rehearsal, thanks for sharing! love you!
Now it's so clear, thanks a lot Jason.
Jason I owe you so much for all the great practical tips you so generously share with us guys. Big thanks for posting this, have a great Christmas and new year, Cheers John from Australlia
Yet another golden nugget of info,thanks Jason!
Valuable advice man. I always struggled with mic levels for my harp through my Lab Series L5. Take care and thanks for sharing.
Another grand video Jason. I never would have thought to do that. A shout out for your drummer..
Awesome. Thanks brother, and Merry Christmas to ya.
Great job Jason!
Jason! First of all, it makes my heart happy to see you back in the saddle. Second, this is a GREAT explanation of how to really work an amp. I've always kinda felt around the idea of how the tone and volume knobs interacted, but this will really help my approach. Peace, be well, and keep sharing the knowledge and the music brother.
That's what I needed👏Thank you Mr.Jason 😎
Thanks a lot for the tips Jason👍I'll try it out.
What a difference this made on the Blues Jr. live. I haven’t had any issues since I first saw your video. Thanks brother! 😎
Absolutely incredible shared knowledge.
Thank you!
Much needed! Thank you so much
Thanks for this video, Jason! I always have problems with feedback and I will try your instructions tomorrow in a gig.
how did it go?
Great video! Looking good bro!!!!
Huge fan, really appreciate it... hope to see you on that blues path after this covid stuff is over. Take care and thanks again. This really helped a ton.
Thanks Tony!
Thanks Jason. Been wondering how that really works. God bless you and Lord willin’ I’ll see one of your videos again soon!

Thanks for confirming the process Jason. I don't know how many guitarists I've had to slap away from my amp for fiddling with it. They have no idea amps work in a totally different way when you have a mic plugged into it. Keep save man, and we'll see you down the road.
Thank you Jason! That helped me a lot.
My pleasure ! It's a good trick!
Great tip thank’s Jason
Nice, cheers Jason
Great Amp info
Good one Jason Thanx! 😎👍🏽
Thanks Heroe!
Thanks for this.
Great tip!
Saw you in Tampa Florida at Skippers Smokehouse playin with Big Al and the Heavyweights Thanks for all the great music youve given us thoroughly enjoyed your career since that night
Well that was back in the ice age! Thanks for coming though! Just finished a Florida tour we come a couple times a year come say hi!
Nice glasses Jason, I like them. You showed us this at a seminar many years ago ... maybe it was Gindick's Jam camp? I really don't remember where it was, but I remember you showing us this and I've used it successfully ever since. You said the tone controls were frequency selective volume knobs and I never forgot it!
Thanks bro! Appreciate you and glad it's been working for you! damn drummers are genius's!
Wow. I learned something today. Thanks bro.
Thank YOU ❤️
Top advice.
I had to revisit this lesson. I had the same exact problem last week now I know how to solve it. Thanks Moon cat!
Yay!!!!!
I picked up your signature Mic in psycho vein and a MOJO from Lone Wolf. This weekend's gig is gonna be A LOT better! Thanks once again for all you do brother! Keep on keeping on!
Thank you Rusty I think youll LOVE it!
Thanks Jason great tip"s I have even had problems with 5 and 7 watt amps at jams Feedback has been my enemy thanks again for the vid
What a power house tip thanks man
Hope you're feeling better!
I think I was about sixth years old when I was learning about amp...tnx my friend:)
I have learned something new good sir
Thank you again
Awesome Tip Moon Kat!!!🎼🎶♥️🎤🎵👌🏿
You got it!
Thanks Jason, have been struggling to get lou d enough with band,using Marshall JCM 900 and bulletini mic.just tried your suggestion which works great. I have to put gain up as otherwise no sound
Thanks !!!!
Thx love it
thankssss brother
For loud gigs or outdoors, etc., I play a Bassman LTD per a suggestion I learned from The Gear Page: turn everything down, raise Mids to about 5-6 and adjust volume to taste. For the Bassman circuit, this will result in an almost flat response. (Check out the tone stack generator on the Duncan amps page for details.) This was a suggestion for guitar players, but it works great for harp.
you are a legend Chris - this is the only thing that has allowed me to use a bullet mic without feedback. Took years and this advice is the only thing that has worked - cheers mate!
Jason, I’ve been playing for 51 years and this was THE best explanation of amp volume/tone that I’ve ever seen. I do have a question. If you mic has a volume knob where do you set that? We have a mutual friend who told me that he always has his mic volume all the way up; then works on the amp. Thoughts?
I set it all the way up when getting the tone. Some guys like to leave a little because the mic can sound different. I don't because I know I'll accidentally turn it up too far and make bad noises. Haa!
Super Video
Ich habe mir ein Modeling Amp gekauft Fender Mustang Gt 40 für das Wohnzimmer
Hier habe ich Volume Gain Höhen Mitten Bass und ein Mater Regler bin auch immer am ausprobieren
Viele Grüße aus Deutschland
Great lesson J. Is that a #43 Sproles jersey hanging back there in the corner? Love you bro!
Good eye!!!! My wife's favorite Saint of all time.
@@jasonricci Kansas State kid. Great player and person. Kaitlin has good taste! (Sproles and you) ;-)
I just started buying Marine bands again, I've been playing Lee Oscars on the street here in Fort Collins for last 4 years
I bought a Shure A85F transformer to play a Hohner Crossover C using a Shure SM58 in a Fender Hotrod Deluxe amp but the Feedback is huge unless I connect the A85F into the loop.
My harp amp only has Volume and Tone. Can I achieve a good tone with that? Please advise! TY
nice vid......have not seen you in a while....be well
Thanks Neil! appreciate you. Lots of new vids since covid especially! Check my page out when you get the time.
Will do. Btw you look good and hope you are doing well. I miss gigging as this craziness continues. Musicians don't have it tough enough working for chump change. We do it for the art not the coins. Hey that's a great hook for a song. NOT FOR THE COIN.....PEACE.
Jason is the Julius Sumner Miller of the harmonica world (in fact, he's even got the same sounding voice).
This was really interesting, my worst enemy ist the feed back... it's really a bitch. But these settings might just solve my problem, not only to get the volume high enough, but creating the colour and the warmth of the sound too.... Many thanks for this very instructive tutorial...!
Thank ⚜️ You!
I realize that this video is a few years old - but I just bought the "Jason Ricci Signature Mic", and the site says that this mic is Hiz.... Is that a change to the mic since this video? Just wondering, so I know if I need the impedance transformer or not?
We offered both for a while. The mic is essentially hi z here because I'm using a low to hi transfer plug so it's the same thing. We now only offer them in 1/4" hi z
could I ask what if your Amp has Gain, presence and reverb is the same principal just back off the volume till you get what you want?
Don't use the gain! And YES same principle with the others! You got this!
Hi, Jason! Question for you... I recently used a Fender Pro Jr. on stage and was having difficulty getting enough volume before getting feedback. The Pro Jr. only has two control knobs - volume and tone. I adjusted both controls, but eventually settled for turning the Tone control all the way down and that allowed me to turn the Volume control up to almost 4. Still not enough volume. Any suggestions for how I might have achieved more volume?
Hey Jamey my bro!!! No unfortunately thats all you could of done. I guess maybe an anti feed back pedal and/or a more modern (non bullet) microphone night of helped a bit more but there's definitely a reason why almost all the touring pros use BIG amps!
@@jasonricciThank you for responding, Jason. I really appreciate it!!! 🙏
@@jameygarner-theharpslinger6906 next time call me we'll catch up.
What if you have master volume knob ? Say on a fender blues jr
Yes use it! I think you have to. But same principles with everything else!
What if you have a gain knob?
DONT use it! Turn the gain channel/switch off!
👍
I got a fender Guitar amp as a gift with a shaker mic. Can I make do the same?Thks cat.. koolaid!
Yes! My experience tells me the shaker will feedback a little more than most mics though. But the principal is exactly the same.
Did you guys use a fliphone from 1995 to film this?
Haaaa.
Was your mic at full open?
Yes! Good question.
@@jasonricci thanks
I have a pig nose 7-100 little 5w solid state amp it only has volume control. I play through a Sure 520 Bullet mic. Can I add something to this setup to make it sound more like a tube amp.
I don't know of anything that can do that sorry!
When I am older;)..
Really nice 👌 😍💋 💝💖❤️
