Re: [Harp-L] RE: Harpgear and Meteor amps

[buzz <buzzo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried out the HG30 at Rockers in the Rockies. I loved it. It sounded 
excellent at low and high volume. It was easy to pickup because it was 
so light. I hate caring my baseman with me all the time & it would 
eliminate the need to switch to a smaller amp when I played at a smaller 
venue.  A nice compact amp with a big sound.  I'm trying to decide 
weather my wife will allow another amp in my house.  Maybe for Christmas.
 I hope this helps

> Hi Craig.  The HG30 is going to be closer to the Mini Meat.  It is a 30W cathode biased amp which can use the stock setup of 6L6 tubes or you can use 6V6 tubes in it for less power.  It is the one Charlie Musselwhite is currently using for his shows.  The Double Trouble is a fixed bias 2x 6V6 amp 18W amp.  I am sure there are plenty of people out there that can offer you opinions on both.  I just wanted to give you a heads up on the HG30 so you could check it out too.
