Tuesday, August 21, 2007 Microphone Database This site has a Microphone Database by Warren Goff. It appears that this is a large database of specs and images that Warren has built up to perform a variety of things. It keeps track of a large number of microphones and images, it searches online auctions for microphones and records prices, it searches newsgroups and loads data from other sites (including mine). It looks like one of the programs that has an organic life of its own. It is interesting that I couldn't find a place to download or order the system. If anyone gets a hold of this system, let me know what you think. posted by Keith at 8/21/2007 10:46:00 AM | 0 comments Monday, August 20, 2007 Peavey Cherry Bomb Peavy has a version of the Superlux coming out this September. It seems to have the same grooved shell, but has a on/off switch and a mini-xlr connection. From what I have heard, it has the same sort of element - like the modern green bullet without the guts of an older shure element. If it is like the superlux, it will certainly be a very playable mic. I can't fault the superlux except that it is not as gutsy as the JT-30 or a vintage shure element. The on/off switch looks like it is in a bad place. The volume control would have been good enough for cutting the mic, but Kim Wilson explained to me once that an on/off switch can be more valuable than the volume control if you have to switch from harp to vocals and back again quickly. I like the idea of the rubberized front shell. It prevents harp knocking noises and helps when you cup the mic to kill the highs. I will watch for a Cherry Bomb to taste test on my vintage amps.

I mostly agree except that I think the Green bullet is too heavy.

Here's one I liked. The southern rock version of "Got my Mojo Working" kills.

Free Name-A-Star Give a special gift. Name a star for free www.freenameastar.com History of this page. In the dawn of the World Wide Web (1994), Keith Graham created the JT30 page. It started out as a home page for modifying JT30 microphones. Eventually the page became a catchall for microphones and amplified harmonica playing. You can see these pages at: The Original JT30 Page Now I have three pages for harp mics, harp tab and harp amps. I'm going to start another one just for learning harp.

www.cthreepo.com is where I rant and rave about how to write Science Fiction.
Astounding Tales Magazine is a Science Fiction ezine that I publish.
