Re: [Harp-L] Your 'dream' small amp?

["steve" <mudharp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

 My favorite small amp under 5 watts is Mark Wilson's Kalamazoo and a good working 5F1 Champ, about 10 watts is the new amp I built designed by Bruce Collins with the KT66 single ended design with a 2 Meg tone control, 1 Meg volume and it runs a 5Meg resistor on the input for crystal and ceramic elements.  With a nice wet reverb it sounds soooo good.--- On Thu 02/02, Joel Fritz < jfritz666@xxxxxxxxxxx > wrote:

They were all built for amplified instruments, mostly guitar and accordion. Most of them were made in the 50s and 60s but there are a lot out there. Almost anything made by Valco, Danelectro, Premier (Multivox)... Gibson made some good small amps. The Sears and Wards amps were made by Valco and Danelectro mostly. A lot of low wattage PA amps are great. Early Fenders in the 15 watt and under category are often good.You can buy many of the above for $300 or under. You'll probably have to spend some money for a tuneup (capacitors and tubes) but you'll have a dream amp.A line out is a nice to have. It's a cheap mod that a decent amp tech should be able to do easily.Hear Barrelhouse Solly on the internet--that's mehttp://www.soundclick.com/barrelhousesollyYes, it's
