Hi all,
In the 1960's the band Fairport Convention kick-started UK electric
folk, and the fiddle player Dave Swarbrick is still a legend. His
fiddle sound was extremely distinctive and I have read that back in the
day, he used an accoustic fiddle amplified using a microphone from a
telephone.
In a bid to recreate his sound I bought an second hand old fashioned
telephone and took the microphone out. It then occured to me that
soldering the mike to a cable and plugging it into my mixing desk
probably isn't going to cut the mustard!
So I am wondering if anyone can recommend a circuit that would allow to
use a telephone microphone and produce the same sort of signal that,
for example, an electric guitar would, so that I could plug it through
my guitar effects pedal into an amp or mixing desk. I'm really not
bothered about excessive quality - the main point I suppose is to get
the level right and not have a stupid amount of noise. Preferrably the
minimum amount of components!
Thanks a lot for any advice,
Ben
