RE: [Harp-L] amp recommendation for loud band

["John Balding" <John.Balding@xxxxxxxxx>]

I use a Fender reissue Blues DeVille 4X10 with a Kinder Anti-Feedback+ "box". I call it my "poor man's Harp King". Using 12AY7 preamp tubes and plugging into the "Low Gain" insert, this amp will serve you very nicely for a price that won't hurt too bad...especially if you can pick up a used one. I have never had any feedback issues when using this amp with a rather hot Shure CM mic. I can hear myself just fine, as can the rest of the band and the audience. The DeVille cuts through like a rusty knife. Most of my gigs are played "stage mix", so I have not miced it through the PA too many times; nor have I had to in other settings.
Used with the Kinder AFB+, this amp will DESTROY anything within a 5-mile radius! If you've ever heard Piazza live, playing through his twin Kinder Harp Kings, you have an idea of the tone and volume of the DeVille/AFB+ setup. DeVille - $830. AFB+ - $360. Finally giving over-zealous guitarists a dose of their own medicine...priceless.

Sorry for the "priceless" cliché,

Hello,I am playing harp with an extremely loud band...competing with 2 guitar players with Marshalls, a heavy hitting drummer, and a loud bass player. I have tried a number of amps and I still cant get the volume I need without feeding back. What amp will produce the most volume for harmonica? 
 
thank
Lindsey
