Ryand333 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hey guys, I did a quick search and was surprised to see nothing come back. Anyways.. I have been using my DL4 for vocal looping for years now after stumbling across the amazing Reggie Watts. Originally I just had the pedal, my mic with an XLR to 1/4" cable, and then ran the pedal to a little amp I have and it has worked great. The mic has seen better days though so I decided to upgrade to a Shure SM58. But when I plugged it in there was barely any volume so I did a little research and found out that getting a Lo-Z to Hi-Z impedance transformer might help that issue. It did but I heard this ping sound as I was talking into it and then the sound caught the mic and gave me that horrible high pitch feedback sound. The old mic is a knock-off Sennheiser and I have never had any problems with volume or feedback. Just wondering if anyone has any advice on how I can use the SM58 without spending a bunch more money. Also any insight as to why the old mic works so much better would be much appreciated. On some other sights I have seen responses to similar issues saying you need all this other gear and some people saying it flat out won't work. Talking about a lot of technical information that was a little hard to follow. But this guy Reggie watts seems to do it with minimal gear besides his pedals, the mic and possibly a Lo-Z to Hi-Z converter. Although it could just me an XLR to 1/4" converter. But he does use a Shure Beta SM58 sometimes so i know its possible. Anyways, thanks. -Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
