Re: [Harp-L] Re:Question re small amp.



I agree with Ray 1000 percent.  I bought the Zoom H4 three years ago when it
was first introduced, and I use it nearly every day.  I record all my
practices at home, all our band rehearsals, and all our gigs.  I slice up
clips and distribute to all my bandmates.  It is invaluable.  (A Zoom H2
would work just as well for this.. The H4 is a multi-tracker with cool
features I usaully don't use.)
