[Harp-L] Re: The Jayphat Works - Pocket Piano Pulitzer Prize

I was on the Ted Weber boards when this all went down, and I think the thing that really helped us realize how this box could help were the incredible sound samples he posted. It was evidence plain and simple that this simple device has merit.

There was a lot of excitement then, and there still is now, about this simple to build box.

Stephen has continued to offer insight and other sound files to continue evaluation and refinement, answering tons of questions along the way. This box is going to help a TON of amplified players the world over.

If there were a Pulitzer Prize for all things harmonica, Stephen would win hands down.

If you like it fat, but want it fatter, then the Jayphat buffer box does the trick very well. Read Stephen Schneider's (aka: HTown Fess) post's here and then venture over to the sound samples that he mentions for excellent A/B (and sometimes C) examples of just what the additional impedance matching does for our sport. If I can build one, then anyone can. I confess my mistakes along the way with photos over at www.bushdogblues.blogspot.com The bottom line is that if you wire it right, it will work. I stole that line from the many stompbox forums that I visited for troubleshooting my work. I consider this a valuable public service on Stephen's part, because I recall the first time I saw him use the box on an amp that was suspect for harp playing and the box plus his mic (and of course his tone) really livened up the amp way more than I thought possible.
