Hi All,
I have been playing for nearly two years but have not yet tried playing amplified.
I have downloaded and watched Adams recent video on Amping the harp which I found extremely useful. However this video is all about how to get that overdriven "Chicago" sound.
I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to amplify the acoustic sound.
What kind of mic? How to hold it? It is OK to plug straight into the desk? Anything else?

Here is one way you can go amplified acoustic.
Mic, either a Shure SM-57 or SM-58, both are low impedance mics. Use on a stand and play up to the mic.
For the amp you could plug in to the PA system. However, if you want to be self contained and have your own little amp, I suggest a Peavey Solo PA amp. It's ideal for if you only need a bit more volume in an acoustic group setting.
The Peavey Solo is a small 2 channel, 15 watt combo. It's a battery/mains, Solid State amp. It has two mic inputs, one input has the correct matching for a low impedance mic and the other a high impedance input.
If you look out for the Peavey amp, do not confuse it with the Solo guitar practice amp. Peavey still have I believe, two amps in their range by the name of Solo. It's the PA amp you are after.
Hope this helps.
