[Harp-L] Re: Harp-L Digest, Vol 109, Issue 89

[Martin Shakeshaft <mshakeshaft@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have recently been researching the same question, and decided on the VHT Special 6.  For the price it it is excellent. I paid Â118 from Thomann on the net. Out of the box it was pretty good, but I modded it using the Alnicomagnet mod kit available on eBay. I have also changed the tubes. Sounds great and on the MBH forum a few people think it is better than the Fender Junior. If you are anywhere near Staffordshire you are welcome to come and try it. I also have a Vox AC4 TV Mini which I also like which is very small and portable.

Cheers

Martin
