[Harp-L] Tax Time Sale



Just letting everyone know that I am running a tax time sale, lowering the  
price of the Cruncher SEVENTY dollars to $1425.00, cover and shipping 
extra. No  extra charge for 240 power transformer setup plus a wall socket plug 
adapter to  connect to the USA plugs we use. I have always built in runs of 
production and  do what is necessary to continuously service customers within 
one week of  ordering.
 
 New News !!! Mark Hummel has stated how much he enjoys his Cruncher  so 
much he challenged me to build a Super Cruncher, letting me know what he  
wants in the amp. Mark is very particular with his sound as he does not rely on  
soundmen and for very large gigs will link the Cruncher to right now the 
Super  Sonny. He wants something that will fill a large room without being 
mic'd; so  great projection, which at 45 watts will bark when needed but is 
full of bottom  end, using a totally unique speaker configuration that will 
have you if nothing  else, curious and saying, I bet that must sound excellent. 
This is as far away  from 4 x 10 as one can go, it is humbling to have 
several long  standing supporters who will buy it on word alone. I will be using 
a NOS 5751 as  first preamp, a tube I have grown to think has great 
potential for harp amps.  All NOS tubes will be tested with a tester, deoxidized, 
and placed in an amp to  insure no noises or microphonics. No extra tubes 
needed, with the patch cable  there are enough options.. I am within 2 weeks of 
the final exact speaker  lineup, however I know what I just ordered will 
work with the rest. Due to the  nature of the speakers how efficient two of 
them are, with 30 oz. magnets, it is  extremely friendly to acquire room 
filling volume before feedback. I will be  making up a FAQ's, as I know what 
questions I will be asked most and will do my  best to honestly answer them.. I 
fully understand I just to finished with one  production model, but even 
with as many strong positive reviews, I had the  inspiration to swing full 
circle yet stay on familiar ground with the  Cruncher..
        I have seen the prices of  most of the other large amp products, 
and they all are very near $2000 or  pushing over $2200 now. What is a nice 
feature like the Cruncher, is the weight,  I should be able to bring it to you 
at 50 pounds; depending on this last  speaker.. I have seen most past 55 
pounds up to 61 pounds, Mark is still a road  warrior and wanted it kept in 
this lower range. Thank those that have  continued to give me the support to 
push the envelope; this is one that breaks  the envelope. Watch the site for 
news updates. 
*** I committed to practicing a minimum of 2 hours a day, and find it  
easier to break down the Sonny Terry style so my goal of seminars I am hoping  
will become reality. Once we get the new site up there will be a newsletter 
that  will give information. I just acquired a 1956 Danelecto Commando and 
will  be comparing the so called Little Walter amp to each of mine when 
serviced by  Cotton Amps. I had to drop the 12AX7's down, I don't know how Walter  
tamed this amp.  Superb shape. Sears Silvertone model. I have owned 8  
others, all JDR's , Montgomery Ward's.. Enough. Thank you for your time..  
Sincerely, Sonny Jr.
