[QUOTE="Zasterz, post: 628001, member: 10097"] I hope this doesn’t seem “know-it-all-ish” but how about just using the instrument’s natural dynamic capabilities? I use a clip-on mic and I have solos as well as blendy-blendy parts and I can do them both without changing my mic volume. It seems like it would be distracting to use a pedal for that- and this is coming from someone who plays a lot of guitar shows as well with pedals galore. But unlike the electric guitar which has a certain dynamic range when picking more gently vs harder, the sax’s range seems so much wider, more like the human voice. I can play at a whisper and I can scream. Why not just set the PA for the loudest you will be and then play softly when you need to? [/QUOTE]
