Re: [Harp-L] Pignose amp

Hey all,
 
I'll take this point a step smaller.
I just recorded a tune a friend of mine wrote "2% Blues".  He did not  want 
to use a loud amp, maybe even do it acoustic. I pulled out a battery 9  
volt plastic, 4"x 4" Bassman replica. They make one that models a Twin  also. 
Plugged my 545 into this "monster" and recorded some of the best,  gritty 
sound of my limited recording experiences. Right sound for this  tune. Everyone 
was completely satisfied. Even me. Kept it as is.
 
Best,

I've  used the smallest and cheapest Pignose battery powered amp on 
hundreds 
of  recording sessions for more than 13 years now. It is great  for   
recording because it isn't at all loud, and there is no "mains hum"... I  
have  
found that amps that plug into the A.C. mains electricity  mostly "hum" at 
low  
volume.
I've often been asked when folks have  heard the final recording "What harp 
 
tube amp did you use?"
