Lone Wolf Effects

@GrooveRat just sent me some information on his live setup, and I thought I’d start a thread here for people to post questions / answers, and experience with Lone Wolf Effects:

Hi Luke - quick answer to couple of questions you asked - the Harp Octave pedal I use is pretty much always on when playing live, it fattens the tone and adds a bit of crunch. The Boogieman is kinda 3 pedals in one, adds delay, gives an over driven sound like a tube amp, and bass/treble adjustment. Best thing about it for me is that I can get a sound similar to a tube amp, without having to lug an amp to the gig. Signal goes from mic to the Octave pedal, to the Boogieman then to the mixing desk/PA. Both the Boogieman and the Harp Octave are made for harmonica by Lone Wolf, who make a lot of well respected gear for amplified harp.

So these are the pedals you’re using, yeah?

@GrooveRat that’s fascinating that use the octave pedal always-on. I use a POG Pico for an octave pedal, but as a very obvious effect that I only use sometimes.

I have Lone Wolf’s Harp Attack pedal (version 1) which I absolutely love, and I also have one of their Jason Ricci signature mics which I also love. It’s just the most comfy mic for me to hold, my hands don’t get sore like they do cupping a bullet, and the positioning of the volume knobs makes it very intuitive for me. (My big problem with the bulletini is the tiny little volume knob, but the Jason Ricci mic also just sounds to me through my rig.)

The guys at Lone Wolf are so awesome. Their customer service is outstanding.

As someone who also doesn’t want to lug amps around this sounds like a great alternative. I was going to buy a new amp, but this will not only save us space where we live. But going through the PA is great.
