I love the Lone Wolf devices in my pedal chain. Wouldn't trade them for any other pedals. i especially love the Boogieman that does so much for my music. Made in America!
Great info ! Thanks for posting this video!! I like your mic .. and the pedal board !! In fact.. I've been curious about it. I use a Shure 520D Green Bullet and a Fender Pro Junior amplifier when I want the greasy blues sound, but feedback can be a problem if I turn up too loud. For a cleaner sound I use an SM57 through the PA system. Your rig is better for sure!!
Tomlin, thanks for this great vid , and info,. It does help my learning curve concerning all this stuff. I'm curious though, as to what triggered you to choose the Harp Attack over the Harp Break. I'm under the impression both pedals provide effects of a distorted tube amp to some degree. So what is it about the Harp Attack ? Yea, more vids, on this stuff would be great. Seems, all this electronics can be as in depth as learning the harmonica. Thanks Tomlin.
To be honest I've never heard of the Harp Break which is why I haven't tried it. Ronnie Shellist told me to buy a Harp Attack because he thought I would love it and he was right :-). I'm now intrigued by the Harp Break though. Although I'm not sure I'm really interested in something that is specifically an overdrive pedal.
Hi Chris, I'm glad you like the channel! My favourite harmonicas on stage are a Seydel 1847 or Hohner Crossover/Marine Band Deluxe currently. It changes from time to time. I go through periods of playing Suzukis as well :-)
Hello tomlin, are you using a hi-z microphone or transformer or just going low z? I use a similar rig with an audix fireball and a hi-z transformer and sometimes run into feedback problems when going into the PA
Thanks for this, I think. Now I’m obsessively researching various components to build my own. Never considered an effects board as an amp replacement. I really like the idea that this could give a more driven sound at a lower volume for practice. I do have a question. Will something like this give a reasonably decent representation of the sound you’d get through the PA when going through headphones? Forgive me if this is a rookie question and thanks in advance for any input.
I'm an advanced beginner - maybe lower intermediate player, but do feel that maybe some form of amplification is something i would like so i can get the more bluesy sounds i really want to be able to achieve even though i'm not performing anywhere. Have you any tips for making that first step into amplification?
Hi Calum, I would suggest an Astatic JT-30 microphone and a Roland Cube amplifier. You will need to practice your hand position a lot to get the overdriven tone but it is worthwhile :-)
@@TomlinHarmonica , Thanks for the quick reply, and all the help you provide through the videos. The Astatic JT-30? A quick G**gle search suggests these are vintage and not very easy to come by - or am i looking at the wrong thing?
Thanks for the video. I see that you put the Bulletini away for this video. Mic and effects combinations do make a huge difference. Are you getting less feedback going through the mixer rather than your amp? Also, as you mentioned, you can get your tone all dialed in at home, and it completely changes at the venue. I absolutely agree that if the tone sounds good coming through the monitors that it gives a great confidence boost to my playing.
Hi Doc, if I was playing on stage it would be coming through the PA only. In the video I've just plugged the pedal board straight into my recorder (a Zoom H5).
Brilliant Thanks for sharing Harp Attack for sure, I was probably going to add a little delay or reverb also from lone wolf You prefer the Boss can you explain why you went with Boss and and not lone wolf. Sounds brilliant by the way And even better live I remain inspired
Hi Andy, glad you enjoyed it. To be honest the Boss is more versatile for me. It means I can create patches for guitar or harmonica. I've not tried the Lone Wolf Delay or Reverb but Boss is the industry standard for those kinds of effects. Finally, the Boss was a lot cheaper than all the individual effects that I would have to buy combined :-)
Tomlin Leckie brilliant, thanks Tomlin , the LoneWolf is crazy price and then import tax , crikey. Boss Sounds fantastic thanks for explaining Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge
Hi Robert, great question. No, is the quick answer. Generally, if you are having feedback it either means you are too close to your amp or it is too loud. I would recommend turning the volume down on your microphone when you are not playing and make sure you are not standing directly in front of the amp.

Great Video!! Where does the harp attack go in your chain, first or last. That wasn’t clear to me.
Good one Tomlin. Thanks for taking us through your rig. Also glad to see you have a lava lamp - every good home should have one:-)
So true :-)

I just have one delay pedal but seems like I'm well short! Still Christmas is coming!!

If theres no amp the sound is coming from the pedal board?..
It sounds brilliant..
Great channel Tomlin, what's your favorite harmonica that you like to play on stage?
Hi Chris, I'm glad you like the channel! My favourite harmonicas on stage are a Seydel 1847 or Hohner Crossover/Marine Band Deluxe currently. It changes from time to time. I go through periods of playing Suzukis as well :-)
Can you demonstrate how to connect these I’ve done nothing except blow into a mic at jams but this looks great
Great vid Tomlin, I always wanted to know this stuff. Right, off the local guitar shop - and probably Amazon sadly.
Great review ! Have you tought about adding EQ pedal eventually ? The mic is a Ultimate 545 btw. ;-)
Thanks you for the info about the mic Didi. I probably won't add an EQ pedal simply because the Boss MS-3 has an EQ built in if I want to use it.
Yes , but what is your black harmonica w the red comb, that you use in lessons. I love it’s projection and tone.
Hello tomlin, are you using a hi-z microphone or transformer or just going low z? I use a similar rig with an audix fireball and a hi-z transformer and sometimes run into feedback problems when going into the PA
Many thanks Tomlin! Are you going from your pedal board directly into a PA mixer?
I am indeed :-)
Hey! Thanks for the vid. Is there any main difference between the Lone Wolf and the Boss Bassman pedal?
I'm not sure - It's been a whole since I've used either of those pedals.
@@TomlinHarmonica thanks for the attention!
I'm looking for the Boss MS-3, but Boss must not produce it anymore, is there an update to such as the Boss CS-3?
This is very cool. I am thinking about the lone wolf pedal. What speaker are you using for this video?
Hi Tony, There is no speaker in this recording. I am running the pedal straight into my recorder. :-)
Thanks for this, I think. Now I’m obsessively researching various components to build my own. Never considered an effects board as an amp replacement.

That's a great question Walter. Yes, this is a reasonable representation of the sound you would get through a PA :-)
Have you tried lone wolf boogieman?
Do you have any videos of you playing with your band
Hi, yes we post a new video every Friday here - th-cam.com/channels/RAlZx14xVeLiNPd8RsvvWA.html

Hi DRD, I'm afraid I've not had any feedback problems with either.
Thank you, good video.
Oh sorry another question
Can you run your guitar and Harp through this one unit
Or you got one for each instrument
Hi Andy, I do sometimes run both through it yes. :-)
Tomlin Leckie cheers Tomlin, really appreciate you sharing hard earned knowledge like this
Thanks again
what mic would you recommendfor under 100 dollars? I was looking at the bottle o blues mic.
Hey Tomlin, so you prefer this setup compared to a Kalamazoo or Memphis mini amp using the same harp stack and 545
Hi Marjo, an amp is always going to be more fun to play but this is just so practical.
Can you plug the lone into an acoustic amp?
So where is the sound actually coming from?
Hi Doc, if I was playing on stage it would be coming through the PA only. In the video I've just plugged the pedal board straight into my recorder (a Zoom H5).
Brilliant
Thanks for sharing
Harp Attack for sure, I was probably going to add a little delay or reverb also from lone wolf
You prefer the Boss can you explain why you went with Boss and and not lone wolf.
Sounds brilliant by the way
And even better live
I remain inspired

How do I coustom my harmonica with different colors and put my name on it
What sort of reverb setting do you use? Personally, I loves me a church style verb on my harmonica.
I couldn't actually remember so I've scrolled through the banks on the Boss to check. I'm using a plate reverb.
Interesting ... but what about the Lava Lamp?
What about it Bob?
@@TomlinHarmonica Does it work, and why isn't it turned on? I keep two bubbling on my desk when I am really rocking!
@@bobrobison1577 Lol - I always forget to turn it on for videos and then it takes so long to heat up. I'll try to remember for next time :-)
Do you have any issues with microphone feedback? If you do what do you use to manage it?
Hi Robert, great question. No, is the quick answer. Generally, if you are having feedback it either means you are too close to your amp or it is too loud. I would recommend turning the volume down on your microphone when you are not playing and make sure you are not standing directly in front of the amp.
