Bob -
 
There really is a wealth of knowledge and other stuff at a SPAH Convention.  I picked up one of Greg's in-line volume control and have used it at a couple of gigs already.
 
Glad you had a good experience.  You have to keep returning every year - that's the hitch.  You already knew about the addiction of the harmonica.  Toots calls it a "virus."  Well, the SPAH convention is a kind of virus all its own and it appears you have caught it.
 
See you in Sacramento next year.

Subject: [Harp-L] Kinder AFB+, SM57JR, Lone Wolf Delay & Harp Gear

Got the Lone Wolf Delay, a Greg Huerman SM-57JR (Jason Ricci volume control 
mod mic) at SPAH and my new Kinder AFB+ and had a chance to play them 
through my Harp Gear Double Trouble with the 12" speaker at 2 outdoor gigs 
last weekend and WOW. I loved the Harp Gear before but this is a completely 
different level. No lining out thru the PA as the volume and tone (big, 
thick and rich) were unbelievable and no feedback. I was wailing all night 
long and had a blast. I played cordless through my AKG unit with a low to 
high imp converter and there was no way to use all the volume I could 
possibly achieve. I dialed it in at home the week before with a local harp 
buddy so I knew where to set the controls.

Last night I used the Harp Gear II with the above at an outdoor 
restaurant/bar and wow it was awesome also. It inspires me to stretch to a 
higher level of playing.

Thanks to all the makers of these products for harp players. I paid retail 
and have no affiliation with any of them.

And thanks to the SPAH convention, which was my first one, as it gave me 
lots of things to practice and learn this up coming year. It was a real eye 
opener. You don't know what you don't know till you go. I have a new and 
higher love for this little instrument and it's capabilities. Thanks to all 
the people who helped put it on and to all the people who came to make it 
such a wonderful experience for all.
