RE: [Harp-L] Vox DA 5 for the harp

Yes this given example sounds a little harsh but the DA5 is able to produce
much sweeter sounds. Put it on the Blues 1 or Blues 2 setting with the tone
knob on 10 o'clock, find your sweet spot with the "Gain/Master" ratio and
there you go. That's what I would use with a Shure 545. It also depends how
hot your mic element is. 

Cheers
Tom

This is a link to a guy playing "Petit fleur" on diatonic. Interesting
choice of tune, and well done -- but, I wonder, is this the kind of warmth
you can expect from a Vox DA5?
  Otherwise it looks like an attractive choice it the small amps category
(plenty versatile, not to expensive), but that sound won´t do it for me. Too
harsh.

  Anyone tried for a warmer sound w/ this amp?
