A Real Disappointment

Right out of the box, the fit and finish was horrible. The blue metalfllake paint had drip marks in it, the chrome grill had sharp edges (unsanded burs) for my hands. Plug it in and it's shrill beyond belief -- the volume control helped none, feedback was awful, no matter where I tried to hide. I found this product flat out unusable, and I've been around mics for 40 years. This one has sat in the box ready for auction from day one... just haven't gotten around to it. I've always admired several of Hohner's blues harps, and am a loyal brand customer, but this mic is a dud. By the way, I was not allowed to trial test this against a Green Bullet because air goes through it, and you know the rest of that PC story. But if I had, I'd have saved that $75, a headache, and spent a little more for the Shure Green Bullet. If you do, you'll be glad you did.

Love mine; bought another for a buddy

I gotta admit to being a microphone junkie. You know the type; maybe the next mic will sound a little better or a little different. Maybe it's my 64 year old ears that need some help. I own a Green Bullet, Nady Bushman Torpedo, and a Blues Blaster. I like 'em all and each for a different purpose, besides playing harp. The Bushman is a 200 ohm harp mic with excellent voice response; the Green Bullet is a hi-Z mic that barks right into a guitar amp without a transformer and the Blues Blaster is multipurpose, if you remember to buy a lo to hi Z line transformer. I like the sound of the Blues Blaster and I haven't had a lick of trouble with it. The volume control is a plus, though when I'm running it through a Shure X2U USB interface to record direct to a computer it's not a necessary accessory.
