Greetings. As if I don't have enough ways to spend money, I started experimenting with running my saxophone mic through a few guitar pedals. I have a Shure mic with an XLR cable. I put a mic impedance transformer (LiveWire) on the XLR and plug the 1/4" end into the pedal series. Last step in the pedal series is a direct box. I come out of the direct box and plug in to an amp or board.
I usually have a Dynamic Wah (Boss) OR a Qtron (Electro-Harmonix), along with a reverb pedal and a delay pedal. Reverb and delay are hip, but half the time I turn on the Wah or Qtron I get lots of feedback through the speaker. It's like the Wah/Qtron is making the mic either much more sensitive or sending much more signal through....
Any ideas on the problem? Any solutions? Thanks in advance.
