Re: [Harp-L] Amp to run with effects?

[Mojo Red <harplicks@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a '64 Alamo bass amp that just rocks, though
at 35 watts to doesn't rock as loudly as a Bassman.


It has a 1 x 15 speaker, a gigantic transformer and
the bottom end is positively endless. Yet it is NOT
muddy with the mids/highs uless I run a traditional
bullet mic into it. My RE-10 stick mic is perfect
for that amp.

I haven't tried to run many effects into it yet,
save for a delay pedal. I own an Digitec RP-200
system, but have yet to run it through the Alamo.
Mght be fun to see what I can make it do.

Harpin' in Colorado,
