RE: Small Harp Amp

["Chris Hammond" <dawgawntired@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Pro Jr that I was playing guitar through.  I also have a tweed 
Champ knockoff that I play harp through.  I took your suggestion with the 
settings and A/B'd the two amps with the same mic through a DanEcho pedal.  
Very cool.  The tone the the PJ was much more agressive and edgey than my 
trusty Champ.  I think I will try this thing out the next time I play out.  
The problem is that I normally use a lineout circuit on my Champ to run it 
into a Bassman RI.  I will have to rig something up or mic it to get a 
comparable volume.  We'll see what happens.
