Introducing the Fat Ball – a custom designed microphone with volume control,
designed for harmonica players to get a deep controlled crunch with a sweet, full and fat tone.
Our mantra has always been “from diaphragm to diaphragm” and there are three in the amplified harp players arsenal: the one in your chest, the one in your microphone and the one in your speaker. We can’t do anything about the first one, our Fat Box preamp and our bespoke amplifiers take care of the end of the chain and NOW we can offer you what we believe is one of the finest hand-crafted amplified-style harmonica mics on the market today, to improve your sound and tone.
The heart of the Fat Ball mic is our Atom Element, designed and voiced specifically for amplified harp players by David Walker, the electronics wizard behind Fat Tone Amps. Not only an electronics guru, David is himself an amplified harmonica player with his own band so he understands the needs of the player. The shell of the mic has been designed in consultation with a group of harp players and went through several changes to arrive at the final design.
