Re: [Harp-L] Kinder Anti-Feedback

["Tom Albanese" <reedwrecker@xxxxxxxxx>]

I say amen to that, Sam. I've had one for about 6 months and I there's a lot
of gear I'd part with before I'd let the AFB+ out of my clutches. The
battery thing is an issue but a small one for what you get. I mainly
gig with a Meteor which needless to say doesn't need any help. But for
blowing harp through guitar amps it can't be beat. The other night I used
the AFB+ through a guitarist buddy's Fender Vibrolux blackface repro. Never
ever heard anything like it before. What giant glassy sound that cut right
into the mix with headroom to spare. I want to try it through every amp ever
made. I hope everything is OK with Kinder. I found John K to be responsive
and real helpful after a couple of emails to him but that was about 6 or 7
mos. ago.
