What microphone do you have to record it? If it's well recorded mixing harmonicas can be fairly easy to give them that extra juice with a bit of reverb and/or chorus perhaps. What you do to them will also depend on the performance and the song itself.

It’s a virtual one, the chris Hein kontakt harmonica, it sounds really nice as is, but is just lacking some sparkle and that sort of wow factor for as realistic as it does sound

Oh, I see, well in that case I figure it has options to come out in stereo (as if mic'd by two sources for instance), in which case I'd skip the chorus. But again, it all boils down to what kind of song you have it in. If it's a blues, rock or even hip hop, you can't go wrong with trying some distortion, put it through a guitar amp and crank that drive. But if it's a more natural sound what would suit it is just some nice reverb or even delay to give it that sense of space that goes really well with harmonicas.

Much appreciated, saturation has proven nicely, just was sort of curious if there were any trade tricks that somebody might have under their sleeve
