Wishbone Amp Hook, Microphone Holder

Make it's easier to rig a mic on my amp and space friendly

I'm always open to placing microphones on stage that do not involve a stand. For years I've used small boom stands to mic a guitar cabinet. They inevitably end up being knocked over or lassoed by guitar cords. Finally a simple to use and dependable alternative. It can be supported by the weight of the amp head, secured by the amplifier's carry strap or placed under the amplifier. Doesn't depend on spring tension or tightening with screws.

This thing handled the weight of a big old Rode NT1. My cabinet had the type of handle that this product works really well with, so I may have had a bit of luck in that regard.

Definitely better than a stand. Fits under the head and holds a SM57 securely.

This is an extremely innovative purpose-built device for micing amps. Very stable. No more unwieldy mic stands taking up too much space and sticking out in weird ways. The space savings are a god-send for home/amateur recording setups, and for micing smaller amps e.g. mini-stacks. I have an HT-5 mini stack from Blackstar, and a Fender Rumble 200. It works great for both... except it really doesn't fit between the cabinets/head on my Blackstar. The device is intended to tuck itself under the carrying handle, and is quite a bit thicker than the clearance between my mini stack components, so I just put the speakers side-by-side for stereo guitar recording and voila problem solved. Was considering knocking a star off for that (since there are promo shots of the device tucked between stack components) but I couldn't bring myself to do it because of how happy I am about the positive aspects of this product. You get this item, a cloud lifter and a Shure SM57, and you got your amp mic'ed.

This is a great invention. It's "quick 'n dirty" - just the way I like it. I'm glad someone finally found a solution to carrying an extra mic stand to record an amp with. Thanks Wishbone Workshop.
