    Inquiring basic concept/setup to play horns through Wah Pedals and other Effects.

    Aye, I've got a tube sock over the SM57, and on occasion, I'll actually drop it all the way to the bottom of the Tuba to emulate an electric bass quite well, as it doesn't pick up any actual Tuba character down there. Other times I'll hang it over the bell, slightly to the side if trying for a...

    Inquiring basic concept/setup to play horns through Wah Pedals and other Effects.

    [Edited for typos] Yes Lt. Bob, you described sample E above; it wasn't too long of a sample, but it's just not wonderful sounding through the Crybaby. Sample D is the Tuba directly into Pro Tools w/ the same Mic used into the Amp. If I understand ecc83's suggestions, something surely about...

    Okiedokie. Many thanks for this diagnosis! I'm not too heartbroken as this little practice amp I am using was only $59 on sale, years ago. I'm looking perhaps at a Mackie Thump 12 as a bit of an upgrade to get more serious.

    Inquiring basic concept/setup to play horns through Wah Pedals and other Effects.

    Ahhh many thanks, hahaha. I like these hot tips and advice, they're great fun! I took your advice - I tried the mic through the adaptor straight into the amplifier - sounds foul and uncivilized! Rattling, Crackling Plastic and harsh vibrations! However, my electric bass guitar sounds fine...

    Inquiring basic concept/setup to play horns through Wah Pedals and other Effects.

    Ah, therein lies my next embarrassingly green question: When I said Output Speaker, this is actually what I meant, a Johnson 15b: http://gsfanatic.com/aas_hirdetes_temp/pic/256169_p1020576.jpg Is this actually called an "amp" rather than a "speaker" ? That confuses me, because in several...

    Inquiring basic concept/setup to play horns through Wah Pedals and other Effects.

    My exact hardware is: Yamaha Tuba -> Shure SM57 -> Mic Cable -> XLR-to-1/4" Radio Shack adapter ( https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0953/5270/products/02740016_00.jpeg?v=1446834518 ) -> directly into Dunlop Cry Baby 105Q Bass Wah Pedal -> Output Speaker. So is it that my Mic signal is too...

    Inquiring basic concept/setup to play horns through Wah Pedals and other Effects.

    I have long been inspired by many to try performing and/or recording my Tuba through a Wah Pedal. After all, Bass Guitars and horns played through wah pedals and harmonizers can sound super cool: https://youtu.be/2OL1_6AMw3Q (both bassoon and sax intros through cool effects right in the first...
