[Harp-L] Re: Kinder AFB+ and Volume Control

[Mike Fugazzi <mikefugazzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

In theory, you are calibrating to your maximum mic input.  If you
change the amp's settings, that shouldn't mess with anything.
Therefore, you wouldn't need to re-calibrate.

IMO, calibrating is important when trying to keep the pedal
transparent/consistent in the chain at your maximum mic input.  You
shouldn't hear the pedal differently when turning your mic volume
down.  Your electric tone will change when you use the VC.  By nature
it has to to some degree, but the Kinder shouldn't impact that.

Maybe think of the calibration knob as the opening of a funnel - you
want the opening at its largest to pour the maximum and then you
control the flow via how much you dump in...in this way you can funnel
fast or slow.  That analogy is probably dumb.
