[Harp-L] more on harp amps

[rainbowjimmy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I've tried a handbuilt tweed bassman clone, a handbuilt tweed champ  
clone through a 4x8 speaker, a blackface Pro, a '48 champ, a 69  
silverface Bassman,two different hybrid Vox clones, and an old tweed  
Airline amp. So far the only one I didn't like was the Airline.

The tweed champ through a bullet mic has that classic sound but not  
quite enough bass if you want to be real picky. The blackface Fenders  
have a clean sound to die for, especially though a stick mic like an  
SM57. Warm and sparkly.A shure bullet through the EL 84 amp I have now  
is good for what I need--a heavy distorted compressed sound--think Les  
Paul through a Marshall.

None of these amps came with anything close to Scooter or Sonny's  
personal attention to detail and customer support.They put their  
reputation on the line with every amp they build.That's worth a lot.
