Wow. Go Piggies! I'm impressed with all the Pignose devotees among the
Harp-L family. The Pignose is a cool litlle amp with a really fun tone.
For my own purposes, I prefer a small tube amp for my beginning students,
but the Pignose is just too much fun to ignore.
Playing harp is supposed to be fun, right?
