Re: [Harp-L] Harp amps vs. Guitar amps

["James D Hoskins" <jameshoskinz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Drew,
You sound great in the youtube clip. Would that be a stock tube line up as 
in 12ay7 for V1?
There are many newer style amps that are not microphone friendly that 
require some manipulation to get any volume before feedback. But I agree 
about the early amps, myself having played through blackface and tweed 
Fenders along with a couple of 50's Gibsons and Supros all stock for many 
years.

You left out Brian Purdy's amps, I find my new HarpGear HG35 pretty much 
sounds and behaves like an old Fender tweed with a little extra bottom and 
more volume before  feedback. This amp is also much better suited to 
different playing sitruations than some of the stock Fender amps I have. I 
can use it on any size gig I am likely to play, although I may want my Super 
Reverbs outdoors.
