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

["Blake Taylor" <taylorb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As much as I love my brown Princeton (with '58 jensen p10Q - It came
that way from a little antique shop. Go figure), I do wish it had reverb
and a line out. That just might make it perfect.

 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:

[Harp-L] Your 'dream' small amp?There are so many choices in small amps
it's hard to believe. 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
