[Harp-L] Re: Portable Amp

[Ray Beltran <raybeltran@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For the record, the EH "Freedom Amp" uses a gel-cell battery. Not  
sure it has quite the same properties as a lead-acid.

Same here, Jim. Small enough to be used at small coffee houses. Which  
is cool, cuz it's so small, you just tuck it under or behind  
something (which is sometimes needed in these types of venues), and  
you're good to go. Big sound from it's 8-inch speaker.

The Freedom also has a line out, and on the product home page, it's  
noted that some musicians have even used it for studio recording. It  
really does have a nice sound.

Ray.
