played very nice but what i found most interesting is the harp.

Håkan Ehn plays a modified Lee Oskar harmonica in G:
Top reed plate is from a G major harp and the bottom reed plate is from a harp with Natural Minor tuning (modifcation according to Lee Oskar tool kit manual).

First harmonica is playing lead. Second harmonica is pitch shifted one octave down (se below).

Shure SM57 microphone connected into vocals processor Digitech Vocal 300 connected into Boss recording studio.

Digitech Vocal 300, vocals processor:
distortion, equalizer, delay

Boss BR-1200CD, digital recording studio:
- drums backing track
- pitch shifter effects (second harmonica only):
pitch -12 (one octave lowered), D:E balance 0:100.

D=direct. It´s the unprocessed harp sound. E=effect (pitch is shifted).

That was cool! I've been thinking about doing some pitch shifting. I love my LLF but it does respond a little slowly. I was thinking an octave shift might be a cheaper way to get a whole set of low tuned harps.

Holy shit, that's the song I'm working on, dammit!
Complete with the irony of wintertime...and he does the Misfits, too! Musically this guy is occurring to me like my higher skilled evil twin!

I do like his interpretation, which is quite different from mine, which is feeding off of Janis Joplin's version.
