i have not seen james harman use vibrosonics but i have seen him with some very rare vibroverbs that sounded really good. james got ripped off a couple years ago for alot of valuable stuff. hopefully the punks didnt get his vibroverbs. i do have a pre amp/processor that james built for me back in the 90's. if anyone's interested it's for sale.

for Dave Barrett. He talks about his homemade processor, that he only uses 
with his vibrosonics, but that is the extent of what you will get out of him. He 
always is using one of my SJ 410's when on the road. First of all, nothing 
sounds like an original Vibro, and not everyone will get a good sound out of 
them. Same as Wilson playing a brown Pro, He could drive it to distortion, 
everyone else will sound harsh. James H. is a very tasty player, not as strong 
as Clarke, Wilson, Gary Smith, but certainly is a great 
entertainer,songwriter, and player with his own unique sound.. This is like looking at the settings 
of Magic Dick's twin and going and buying a twin to set it up the same way, 
thinking you will sound like him. James creates his own sound, a processor 
like he has will not make you sound anything close to him, I believe he owns 3 
at least of the very rare, and expensive, original vibrosonics. Attempts to 
reissue them have been awful, maybe guitar players like them.
