[Harp-L] Cruncher on low volumes

[SONNYTONE@xxxxxxx]

Please allow me to clarify this once and for all. There are two ways to be  
able to play the amp with great tone while practicing at low levels in your  
house, or even at a small gig. The best one is to go ahead and get your full  
sound, then just kick back your volume control on your mic to about 7, and the  
amp will never lose its tone and you can get that Little Walter sound at a 
lower  volume. As amps like to be driven to get that really good sound, that is 
the  best option. The mics I sell have the indented volume pots that click on 
every  number, so you know just where you are at number wise on the mic. If you 
want to  put the 12AY7 preamp in the far right, that gives it a little less 
edge but is  still strong, so you can use that and back off on the mic with no 
loss of tone. 
The other way would be simply to turn your amp's volume control down, as  the 
amp again never loses its tone even at lower volumes. However, to really  
feel all the juice but at a normal level lowering the mic works the best for me,  
as I am in the same situation as most, my lady works in her room doing 
computer  stuff, while I need to practice probably 20 yards from her on the porch  
amplified, which is why I have worked on getting a great tone and being able to 
 have us both do our work and the amp still gets its sound. If anyone has ANY 
 questions whatsoever, please contact me off list and I will be happy to 
answer  them. The amp can go from low practice level to being able to carry the 
whole  Hummel blowoff by itself due to the unique mic'ing system it has. I hope 
that  clears it up. Sonny Jr.
