[Harp-L] Re:Question re small amp.

[Ray Beltran <raybeltran@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Honestly, buy a Zoom H4 or similar recording device:

They are a GREAT investment.

Record then listen to what you sound like in any venue, and adjust  
your tone controls to your individual taste, how YOU want to sound.
