I have been scouring the you tube pages and haven't found very many demos of effect pedals used with the harp. With the exception of Lone Wolf Blues the list is pretty scarce. at least from what I can find. Is there any specific You Tuber out there that has a lot of demos using effect pedals for harp? If not there needs to be. Granted Lone Wolf Blues pedals are good but there are a ton of other pedals out there. Everything from Berringer to Boss to EHX- I'd try and do some myself I just don't have the money to go out and buy a whole bunch of effects pedals to demo and put on You Tube. So Harp community lets band together to try and put out a lot of these kinds of videos. Im sure newbies- like myself would love it so they can tell if they want to add the effect pedal sound to their arsenal. Im sure there are plenty of players out there who have regreted buying a pedal or two after messing around with it.
There are numerous pedal demos on delay, reverb and harp specific pedals. Keep looking. Keep in mind that harmonicas are not guitars, the majority of effects pedals are designed for guitar. Some of those pedals just plain don't respond well to high impedance mics, I bought a few that didn't work at all. My advise is to search YT for specific pedals, you'll find a few with harp demos too.

I've searched also for demos. Lee Oskar has one up on his website showing combo effects of four different pedal types, not brand specific. Sweetwater has demos, but only one with harp, the rest all guitar. I was all set to purchase the EHX C-9 until I threw the question up on the forum and received some negative responses. Trial and error gets pretty costly.
Todd, when I started the video the voice sounded familiar and I wondered... then he played! Chris's style was instantly recognizable and unforgettable.
Raven you just hit the nail on the head.I have been thinking about getting a micro pog pedal for harp but why would I pay nearly three hundred when I could pay half as much for a pitchfork pedal made by the same company- If there were more harp demos doing this kind of thing we could decide for ourselves which pedals we could get. I'm aware of the Lee Oskar page you mentioned. I am also aware of Haken ehn. I was just trying to encourage others with different pedals to put demos of them for harp on you tube.
