Has anyone tried this with a harmonic and if so how did it work?

Interesting question. I have not used a harmonica with it but I am sure if you hold harmonica close to mic it will be good.

No, I haven't but the frequency response is fairly flat in the upper register. The mic is a little hotter than a Shure SM57.

Perhaps I'm too old and slow on the trigger, but I've had some trouble setting up a loop on the pedal and then to playing over it in a professional way. Years ago, I had another brand that worked for me, but it picked up, probably an op amp, distortion making it only useful for hard rock. I suspect there is an ideal pedal out there for me, but I can't afford to buy them all and shake them down.

I had never tried it and was inclined to think it wouldn't work very well but I plugged my P-Bass into it and it actually sounded pretty good. Definitely doesn't have the punch of a bass amp but would be fine for practice work or just noodling around without vibrating the whole house.

Yes it will. It may take a bit of practice, because the pedal generates harmony's via the root note, however I read somewhere it can be adjusted to your tastes with experimentation.

Appears to work fine with chords. It is the one pedal I really like as it adds nice overtones (and also has other settings)

I have tried and no, is not a good option. The frecuencies are not the same and won't have a good quality. Sounds empty. I don't know if it damages the amp because i only did it a few times just to try it out and had no damage at all but i guess that if you do it frequently surely will cause damage to the speaker.

Sorry for the late response. Just tried it with a bass and bass amp. It's functional, there was some ground buzz when I turned the level up. Probably because of my setup. I don't know if you'll get that Metallica sound, but the pedal definitely works.

I used a microphone with a 1/4in jack. It sounded ok with harmonica. Not sure about singing through it though. Be careful with volume, settings & feedback. You can toast your amp in a heartbeat.

I never tried that, probably because when I was in my first band (late '60's) we started off broke and actually had to play two guitars through one amp at one point. It sounded like crap! That said, you can use both inputs simultaneously, so what you want to do certainly should work.

I assume you could since it basically does the same function as a Boss Octavia pedal does when the harmonist pedal is set to that mode. Wouldn't think either pedal would sound too good with a bass though. Just my opinion. Be like bass overkill to the point it would be distorted.

It works exactly the way Kevin Oberg described it. It controls clean/drive and reverb enable/disable. I would also add that it gives a full bodied sound. Without it the sound is thinner and the notes have too much edge for my taste. You will feel the difference as soon as you plug it in. The sound will be more colorful. My amp is a Peavey Classic 50 212. I hope this helps.

Not on a bass guitar, but I did have it wired up to a microphone (for my trombone). It handled the frequencies okay when it worked, but it only lasted a couple months before the switch became super noisy and then non-responsive.

I've never tried that, so I don't know. When using it with a guitar, I've established that it needs a continuous signal of the chords; for example a major versus a minor chord so it is able to establish what harmony notes to use. I'm guessing that with a bass guitar, it would only be able to output the basic note, plus its octaves if you have the unit set for that. Hope this helps and sorry I cannot provide you with more. Addendum: if you are just using it for pitch correction, it will work as long as it has a signal.

I have only used mine in front of the amp, and it works great that way. I haven't tried it as youhave suggested, but I see no reason why that wouldn't work. Only issue could be if your amp'sloop only accepts a line level signal. I'd try it both ways and see which sound you prefer. Onebenefit to running it in front of the amp would be having all tone controls active [i.e. the amp'scontrols and the pedal's].

I've successfully plugged both into a power source without humming. However, I suspect it may vary from power source to power source, and maybe even from unit to unit. Your milage, it might vary.

No. You need power for this to work. A tone generator would do what you want.

I hadn't tried it until I got the question. It works fine with no distortion while plugged in.
