[Harp-L] re: feedback

[Tim Dougherty <timd@xxxxxxx>]

Oh, I likes me volume pot!  Cranked and cupped is the sound I want for 
solos, and backing off is perfect for playing under the singer or guitar 
player.  It also allows me to turn it completely off and plug one ear with 
a finger to quickly practice a line or whatever.

Give me a good amp with low power preamp tubes and a mic with a CR element 
& volume pot and I'm set.
