[Harp-L] Daisy chaining amps, was Running Amps In Tandem

[Ronnie Schreiber <autothreads@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Peter,

I recall reading that when Randy Bachman recorded American Woman with 
the Guess Who he got that distinctive tone by running the output of one 
amp into another. Apparently they destroyed some amps in the process of 
recording the song. The output of a guitar pickups is measured in 
millivolts, an amplifier's output is measured in volts.
