[Harp-L] Cruncher line out

[SONNYTONE@xxxxxxx]

Just to reassure those that might have doubts about our line out system,  
here is a valued customer who can really play and knows tone. My master engineer  
designed it, and it is unlike the rest of the sterile line outs. So yes a  
Cruncher will fill a room, but the 410 is still king for overall volume.

"Hi, Gary

I finally got a chance to try the Cruncher's line-out in a  "real"  
setting - the now infamous Little Fox.  I've brought the  Cruncher  
there before but it hasn't been loud enough for when the  place gets  
rockin' so I've largely relied on the 410. But because I  might add the  
line-out to the 410, I wanted to get some experience  with your circuit  
to see if I was going to like it in concept  anyway.

I arrived early and talked to the sound guy to make sure he was  signed  
up for it. We wired it up and sound checked. It sounded really  good.  
Throughout the night I played it and several others, including  Mark  
Hummel played it too. The quality of sound in the PA was  excellent - I  
was afraid it would be to clean but it wasn't - it  really reflected  
the Cruncher's true sound and certainly complimented  it. Also, because  
the mains in that room are above the stage, it  raised the center of  
the sound, closer to the level of the harp  player's head. The tone was  
really wonderful. The sound guy liked it  much better than mic'ing the  
amp too - said he got better signal and  less noise than he usually  
gets from the  amp  mic.


I'll be setting up this way again! I don't NEED the line-out on  the  
410 as much because of the way it fills the room, but with a   
cooperative sound guy I can see where it increases my options. I'll   
probably go ahead and do it once I order the parts....

Thanks for  everything. (I got the tubes, by the way -  thanks!)
