When I first played with a Lone Wolf Jason Ricci microphone it was with a large amp in a large auditorium. It sounded great and there were no breathing sounds. Recently I purchased a small Acoustic amp and I hear the breathing sounds unless I turn the mic gain way down and the amp volume way up. Is this related to technique or just because I am in an enclosed space?

What’s the brand/model of the “acoustic” amp? Jason’s mic is meant to be played thru some kind of guitar amp, not a PA which is what your Acoustic amp basically is a small version of. That’s for clean playing, so a regular vocal mic like an SM-58 works perfect. Or an Audix Fireball is good for this application as well.
Jason’s mic is for playing dirty amplified sound. Make sense?
It is the Acoustic A15v amp. What do you mean by dirty sound?
Should I be able to cup my hands and harmonica around the SM58 and not hear breathing sounds?, because I still hear them. Keeping the harmonica an inch or two away works fine.
@andy.pellett - “dirty” = distorted. Like a distorted guitar.
Sounds like you got your answer lol. If you don’t want the breathing sounds, don’t cup the mic. I don’t typically cup a 58 unless the engineer is out to lunch and I HAVE to in order to be heard above the band (in which case the music is LOUD and nobody’s gonna notice the breathing sounds.)
