I will be publishing a writeup of that show in the next couple of days.Mike Lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344654261133655744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17166659.post-1131169554315130382005-11-04T21:45:00.000-08:002005-11-04T21:45:00.000-08:00I can attest to the benefits of this "trick". And ...I can attest to the benefits of this "trick". And I know several other cats who jump channels, too. While both channels do interact at some point since they share the same preamp tube, jumping can achieve desireable results much sooner on the volume knobs. Which, by the way, "go to 12. It's 2 louder than 10."<BR/><BR/>While I'm at it, let me say this... everytime I've heard Mike perform, he's had a HUGE sound. I first heard him play at a Harmonica Blowoff in Portland. When he took the stage and blew the first few notes, his superior tone was evident to all. And he was in the company of some pretty big "dogs", too. Part of it's due to jumping channels, part of it's due to his gorgeous Vicky... but mostly it's due to his great tone.<BR/><BR/>Check this out... look carefully at how his tone controls are set up. Go ahead... I'll wait...<BR/><BR/>No, that photo is NOT doctored up. He's actually using more treble than bass! And that's usually as high as he's got the Vicky turned up! A word of warning to rookies... DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!! I know there are some who will say it's "all wrong", or that it's "backwards."<BR/><BR/>But wait til you hear the cat. Then, and only then, will you know... this boy's the real deal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
