RE: [Harp-L] Kinder AF

[<bfrain@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

wow.  i found it actually WARMS things up...  yes, you must work the 3 knobs, but that's ez to accomplish.  turning an amp on 10...priceless!
i spent about 10 min one afternoon messing with the pedal, found the settings i liked, marked a small dot so i'd always know where to have the knobs set, and i haven't looked back.  the 2 outside knobs can be set low to not color the amp.  but i LOVE what it does to my tone, so i have 'em set on about 2 o'clock.   at a gig, you gotta turn the center knob till it starts to light the led.  then you can melt the nitrocellulose off the nearest guitar!

I've had one a couple of months and use it through both a Meteor and a '68 Fender Princeton.  I'll have to say that I'm not a big fan of it.  It's probably due to my impatience--perhaps I haven't spent enough time working with the box to calibrate it to the mic's that I use but...I find that it diminishes the tube amp warmth that I'm looking for, making my sound become too harsh & electric.  Additionally, when I use it, it feels like there's a microsecond delay between when I produce a sound with the harp and when I hear it pop out of the amp.

With the other controls--tone, meat, presence, mid, etc--you can the overdrive tube warmth tone without cranking the amp to high volume levels, which usually lead to feedback problems with either my Princeton or my '65 Vibro Champ.
