The Zoom G2NU patch set is almost ready!
I announced a few months ago that I was working on a patch set for the Zoom G2NU, and the first release is almost ready to go. This device has some features that should be very interesting to harmonica players. I’m thinking of it as…
Dark Blue Champ in action
I’ve recently released an amped-amp blues harp patch for the Digitech RP250/255/350/355 called Dark Blue Champ (DKBLCH). My brother Mark, who plays slide guitar, came to visit, and while he was here we did some sloppy recordings of us jamming. A clip from that jamming…
RP Tip #9: It’s a really good audio interface, especially for harp
UPDATE: At this point we don’t just think an RP is a “pretty good audio interface”; it’s the one we use for harmonica whenever we have the chance. See this post for a discussion of how we recorded a session for the big-budget BBC series…
Digitech RP Patch set update this week!
I’m releasing an update to my patch sets for the Digitech RP250, 255, 350, and 355 this week: a set of four patches designed to cover a range of acoustic harp performances. These patches were in fact developed by me for use with my solo…
RP Tip #8: Louder, Louder, Louder

Fixin’ to Live
Here’s a rough mix of a tough instrumental blues, “Fixin’ to Live,” by myself and my brother Mark Hunter. This piece began life as a solo slide guitar recording by my brother. I added bass, drums, and harmonica. The harmonica is recorded through an Audix…
A coupla new clips with 3 amp modelers
I’ve been trying various configuration of multiple amp modelers lately. In these clips, I’m using a Digitech RP355 and a Zoom G2NU for the main sound generators, with a Digitech RP255 at the end of the FX chain. I’ve been using Digitech amp modelers for…
Beginning to play around with some new gear
I’ve just begun working with a non-Digitech amp modeler, the Zoom G2nu. I like some of the sounds in it right out of the box, and I’m going to keep working with it for a little while. The big advantages of this particular device are:…
Video of the Day #1 March 27 2011: Richard Hunter/Billy the Kid
Recorded live at the Virigina Harmonicafest on March 18 2011. A little grainy in both sound and image, but a good performance overall. I’m using a Fireball V mic with a Digitech RP255; the RP255 is set up to do a short slapback delay plus…
