[Harp-L] Re: Pig Nose Amp?

[Ray Beltran <raybeltran@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Pignose amps drive too much for my tastes. I went for the  
ElectroHarmonix "Freedom Amp" which has a cleaner sound. I get a  
"grind" out of it by technique on the mic. Or you can use the "Bite"  
control.

It's sorta touchy for harp. But it has a great sound. (And looks  
good, too.)  Helped Darrell Mansfield set up on the streets of  
Portland with this amp; we added another for an AWESOME sound! Big,  
fat, plenty of volume.

Although in my review and experience I call it "touchy", it seems to  
be more flexible, as headroom goes, when used with a volume control  
equipped mic.

And a sound clip is linked off that review.

Hope this helps, Don.
