 Kim, is that a regular Champ or a vibro Champ? Is it possible to get 
that reverb and thick tone with a regular Champ? My Champ doesn't have 
any reverb. And I know, I know, it's not the equipment, it's the player. 
(I was at a workshop with Charlie Sayles this weekend. He demonstrated 
a couple of different blues harp styles with a vocal mic through a pa. 
His Big Walter example was almost perfect). But "Whammer Jammer" just 
sounds so much fatter than a Champ can get. Maybe it was one of the old 
tweed Champs?
