The JT30 Roadhouse Harmonica Microphone is an exclusive version of this Astatic by Hohner hand-held mic with volume control. The JT30 Roadhouse Microphone produces that classic, dirty Chicago blues harp tone. The JT30 was introduced over 50 years ago as an inexpensive and rugged crystal element microphone for public address systems and Ham radio operators. Blues players discovered that the JT30's emphasis of the voice's midrange frequencies produced a raw, honking sound when they cupped their harmonica against broad front of this bullet mic. Over the years, the JT30 has become the favorite harp mic for many established blue harpists. The JT30 Roadhouse uses the same mold for the mic housing that Astatic used to build the original JT30 mics. When played through a vintage-style tube amp, the frequency response of the JT30's crystal element duplicates the warm, slightly distorted "Mississippi Sax" tone that harp players crave. Includes 20' cable with XLR female connection designed to fit the threads of the JT30 and a 1/4" male adapter that plugs directly into a guitar amp.

I play blues harmonica, and have an old 1960 astatic jt30 that I usually play; it's very hot and very dirty. I have two amps I play through... a Sonny Jr. 2 and a Harp Gear 2. My old mic works great with the Sonny, but is too dirty for vocals, and too dirty for the high gain input on the Harp Gear 2. So I thought I'd try out a different mic, and since I like the JT30 shape, I gave the Roadhouse a try. It works really well. It is not a dirty mic; it is clean and clear, fairly hot, and medium bright (it uses a crystal element). I plug it into my Harp Gear 2, in the high gain input, and it works great. I get a little bit of dirt from the amp, and I can use it with harmonica or vocals. I don't have a problem with feedback, and if I do, I can always use my Kinder Antifeedback Plus. If you have a dirty amp, and want a mic that will work with harmonica and vocals, the Roadhouse is a pretty good place to start.
