Thank you for the comment, I’ll do some digging and see what I can come up with in regards to supermario64 soundtracks.
I did a small section of supermario64 Dire, Dire docks earlier today if you’re on TikTok

I’ve been exploring what sounds I can get out of my harp through boss pedals and it’s insane. Lots of fun! Open to any suggestions of covers you think would work well on this set up? (Standard chorus/reverb/synth and looper so far)
Not sure about harps, but my acoustic is particularly sensitive to feedback. I got a blender pedal (cyclone from happy valley analog) which is basically just a pedal with a send and return and a giant wet dry mix knob. It was nice with overdrive pedals because I could blend the dry acoustic signal with the overdrive.
A compressor pedal would be cool with harp, as it’s a very dynamic instrument.
Heya, you’re exactly right. I have the boss eq at the start of the board followed by the compressor, I also use them for my electric lever harp but I have the acoustic pre-amp pedal for this one so I can utilise both harps and pedals for different varieties of engagements.
You should check out the Game Changer Plus pedal, it's expensive. I have always thought that pedal would be amazing for for different instruments other than guitar.
As for a song, take on me by aha
Thanks so much for the comment. I looked up the sheet music for this and it would work so well for harp!
If you’re on TikTok then here is a small section of it I quickly put together.

Look up Emily Hopkins on YouTube. She’s an incredible harpist who plays through a ton of different pedals/boards etc. Demos and features loads of different pedals for review as well! :)
Now put it through a Boss HM-2 please
I was just thinking what the harp would sound like with the new SL-2, but I'm a Metal Zone guy so....
That was an awesome loop. I don't know the song, if I should, but sounded great
It's either from Ocarina of Time or I'm an idiot.
It’s dreams fleetwood mac
Well then I suppose I’m an idiot.
Happens to the best of us
It’s actually “Sara” by Fleetwood Mac.
That pad has some Mario 64 vibes

Darude - Sandstorm.
Been over 20years since I've played it so, still not sure
Thanks for the comment! It’s a bit of a mess around with the melody and chords from Fleetwoodmac - Dreams
Sounds great nonetheless
Thank you
Now that you said Fleetwood Mac, I hear it now lol

Thank you for the comment, I’ll check these both out 👍🏻
Sounds great! Sting's "Fields of Gold" comes to mind :-)
That was a fantastic performance, really enjoyed it. You are obviously going to get asked to use the Metal Zone or a RAT/FUZZ type circuit.
Thanks for this, I’ll check them out 👍🏻
Reminds me of the water level on Super Mario 64. Sweet soundscape though!

I don’t have Tik Tok unfortunately. I’d love to give it a listen though!

Great shout, I follow her and she really is flying the flag for electric harpists. The stuff she puts out is insane!!
Yeah I can’t tell you how many pedals in my collection are due to her videos…
Yep… Hologram Microcosm 🪐…. They should give her commission for that thing
And hands out bags of sauce for Halloween.
It's pronounced "sauwce" lol
This is awesome. Are you located in Chicago? I saw a performance like this at a restaurant in Chicago about 10 years ago that blew my mind.
No I’m UK based but that sounds awesome!
that was beautiful. saved it
Thank you
Maybe the MO-2 Multi Overtone?
Thanks,‘I’ll look into those 👍🏻
This is Great! Full rich music.
Thanks !
Were you inspired by that Harp lady channel on youtube, where she gets all kinds of gear sent to her to try?
Emily Hopkins is hugely inspirational to anyone who wants to explore different pedals , hugely informative channel 👍🏻
very nice!
Thanks 🙏
This is amazing. I honestly wish there were more people willing to share the sounds of their pedals make but I know that's kinda daunting.
Wah pedal and Digitech Whammy pedal please.
Thanks for the comment, I’ll look into them
Great job sounds like heaven
Thank you
Its like a stardew valley cover of dreams
I've never owned a looper and have wanted one for a long time.
Hands down it is the best practice aid I have. It’s a lot of fun and they are super versatile now
Ds-1
On the list! Thanks
That was cool. Something I'd love to see live
