Hi guys, i am after a bit of advice here regarding being the singer/harp player.
I was wondering if it was possible to use a vocal mic like adam to both sing through and play through with some sort of foot pedal that allows you to switch from distorted to undistorted easily rather than having two mics set up for each job?

Radial do a a/b output switch. You can run one line to a harp amp and the other to a P.A.

An AB switch is easy to build yourself. The parts came to about £15 from Maplin, probably cheaper if you shop online. The circuit is simple -there are several on the DIY stompboxes forum. I made an AB box and an AB/C box recently - the hardest part was drilling the holes in the case!

If you're not so handy with a soldering iron, then Electroharmonix make the switchblade for £30, which is a simple AB switch. There are also Behringer products, but the EH is better build quality.

just to add another dimentio to this, if i had an A,B pedal with one side going in clen to the amp for vocals what would be a good effects pedal to use on the harp side for a good fat gritty tone?
