Re: [Harp-L] Bull In A China Shop? Big Amps in Low Volume Situations

[fjm <bad_hat@xxxxxxxx>]

Kinda sorta makes sense.  I play a 4 watt White for just about 
everything.  What I don't like about it is how quickly it runs out of 
volume.  You turn it up it just gets crunchier not louder.  It has a 
very narrow range of usable volume.  Turns out that range mostly works 
for me but I get Ray's objections.  I really just want a compressed 
middle tone.  Horn like.  I get my variety in tone. timber and volume by 
what I'm doing with the microphone and the harmonica.  I had a 68 Super 
Reverb.  It was ok but it weighed a lot.  I still have my 1960 Concert. 
I haven't used it on a gig in years and years.  It only sounds good 
loud.  Might be I've missed something there.  My other large amp is a 
1961 Blonde Bassman head with a 3X10 bottom.  It sounds great but it 
really only does very loud.  I keep thinking maybe I'd be happier with a 
midsized amp.  Maybe 10 watts.  I do think I like the single ended Class 
A sound better than push pull AB.  fjm
