[Harp-L] SPAH: HARP AMP COMPARISONS

[David Fertig <drfertig@xxxxxxxxx>]

Garry, I certainly didn't mean to disparage your doubtlessly reasonable feeling it'd be helpful to record the amps for comparison.   If  anyone "official" at SPAH gives a green light on the amp comparison thing (facilitated by whomever), and anyone wants it recorded enough to set it up, then I would expect it to be recorded, hopefully by someone as skilled as you - not me, for sure!  

However, I for one won't evaluate the amps via recordings, as it just doesn't work for me.  Vive la difference!   But I would love to check out first-hand some of these cool amps!

Anyhow, it would be great to be able to do a/b/c comparisons of various
cool amps (and mics, effects), fun too.   I don't see any value in
video/audio recording of it, but doubtless some would.

as the original poster, the recording of it was the whole point of the exercise.
the intent was to take advantage of having a number of top players
and well regarded but generally available amps in one place.  then, in a
constrained fashion, record examples of different players and different
styles on a smallish set of gear.  i'd figured on leaving effects and mics
out of the equation and sticking with common off the shelf items like
sm58 mics.  i was also hoping that gear vendors might be there, and
perhaps have an interest in making this happen to promote their wares.
