Green Bullet

[kronick]

I have been using a 58 and a twin reverb to play blues harp for about 2 years and all was going fine...Recently bought a stock green bullet, plugged it into the twin and didn't even get it turned up to a 2 before the feedback was unbearable...The mic sounds real good when very low volumn but I can't get it cranked up enough to get over the guitars...Does anyone know of any modification I can do to remedy this or should I go back to the 58.

That isn't normal -- it's a high-impedance mic.......... unless you've got the gain on high, or you have treble boost or the gain boost in.... but at clean channel settings, it shouldn't be doing that.........

one more thing--

have you tried a different amp? i now seem to recall having this problem with certain mics plugged to certain amps.

That amp is too big, a low wattage amp like the supro's or the crate vc508, will get you the dirt without the feedback with that mic.

The 58 is a good mic, jon popper uses one.

darrin_h2000> basically that's it...the amp is too big for the mic...bwahahah, so that's a 58 under all those taped up switches on jon poppers mic...never would have known.
Blue Bear Sound> High gain, yes and it was squeelin...I tried a 50 watt vibrolux amp with better success than the twin though
