 feel like I could ever imagine overblows sounding good in any musical 
context,
 especially blues. I'd much rather listen to Howlin' Wolf play harp. Sure, he

the original post only asked what clean players use to amplify their sound.  
no case was made as to anyone's technical abilty, nor was it implied that 
people with a heavily amplified sound were wrong.
that's the good thing about ramming your head through a wall...it feels good 
when you stop...feels even better if you don't do it at all...
