Re: [Harp-L] RE: Pedal for Drive Effect

["jon Gindick" <jongindick@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am very happy with my Lone Wolf run through a PA or through my Princeton 
Reverb. Along with the boost,  andthe added tone control,
I like that it can be battery operated.  Makes the quick set up much easier 
for jams.
You leave it on all the time when you play, at least, I do.  It don't see it 
as an "effect" but more of an amp augmentation.
It gives the tone more definition, even at lower volume. Hmm, maybe it is an 
efect  The knobs give lots of tones, all good.
It is very simple and pleasing device.

I have never used either however I will highly recommend the Lone Wolf Harp 
Attack Pedal. Excellent product. Makes every mic, amp and PA. I have used 
with it sound great. Designed specifically for the harp by an experienced 
artisan. Have tried many a guitar OD pedal with less than satisfying results 
(read: FEEDBACK!). The Harp Attack adds a great 6V6 overdriven tone. Round, 
brown and furry. Very versatile controls in volume, drive and tone which 
adds some serious bass response. Have used it direct to the PA, direct to an 
amp and in tandem with stellar results. A bit pricier than th BD-2 but when 
I consider the time and money wasted on guitar-designed products that did 
nothing but add too much gain and way to much frustration, well worth it 
IMHO. Looks to be in the same price range as the Greer you mentioned. If you 
are looking for Chicago in a pedal, this is it, provided (retract thy claws, 
tone-nazis!) you have your acoustic tone and techniques up to speed. Mine 
are decent however this device actually inspires me to play and practice. 
What price can you put on that?
