The Shaker Madcat model doesn't look like any other microphone.  The design is radical, the shape is functionally perfect, the technology is typical Shaker, way ahead of the rest. With the Shaker Madcat you can, for the first time, mic the natural wah-wah sound of a harmonica from inside your cupped hands. This microphone picks up all of the sounds produced within the variable acoustic chamber created by your cupped hands. Every Shaker Madcat is totally handmade, each body is hand cast one at a time, so each is different in color and surface. Some smooth, some with pits, each unique. Every Shaker Madcat is assembled by Shakey Joe himself in the Shaker harp shop in Northern Arizona. We hope you develop a whole new spectrum of playing technique.

MADCAT HOW TO: Hold Shaker Madcat in left hand between fingers, grill pointing at harp. Volume control above your knuckles, harmonica and microphone in same hand. Cup hands around harp and play. Attatch coupler to belt, hook microphone in one side, cord to amp in other side, or plug Madcat directly into wireless sender unit. VOLUME CONTROL: The first two thirds of turn is basically off, only the last one third of volume control is active. We designed it that way so that a slight roll of the finger can affect the volume. AMP SETTING: Every amp is different, so is every ear. It's up to you. A good place to start with most amps is the bass at 8, mids at 3, adjust to your personal taste and desired tone.
