[Harp-L] Some non-tech Mini-Meateor observations

[dennis moriarty <dmoriarty@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Realize I have only used it in a limited capacity, e.g., the 6V6
tubes which are not as loud as the interchangeable 6L6s that also came  
with it, living room as opposed to stage, and half asleep from the
challenges of life..... Aesthetically it has a wooly upholstery finish
and is a terrific size with a strong handle weighing in around 35-40
pounds (the weight and size are comparable to the Kinder Soulful). I
won't go into the Weber speaker and tube configuration since you can
google that and get harp-l and Weber board threads as well as
contact the builder. There is gratefully some tonal variety contingent
on the Meat vs. Meatier mike inputs and tube choices........ Mine was
specialized in red with a silver grille cloth (so I could find it in the
dark). Now for the adjectives: Vintagy sounding, raspy, big and boomy  
at times depending on your mike attack, cutting with
(IMO) the tone up, capable of stage volume with 2 guitarist electric
bands (although I have not tested this yet). It has a richness of sound
at high and low volume (once again I have only utilized the higher
wattage capacity 6L6s as opposed to the lower wattage 6V6s). The
build is solid, the packing is solid, the delivery is expeditious, the
builder is affable and passionate..... For me it's worth the price
and the anticipation. Is it superior to John Kinder's Soulful?:  
Absolutely
not. Is it as terrific?: Absolutely. Do I regret selling one to get the
other?: No. Would I advocate one over the other?: Of course not. They
are both terrific as I'm sure Sonny's Cruncher (gotta try one of them  
some day too) and Brian's and Robert's
and Rob's, etc. etc, are. Great job Scott! It's a keeper. d
