John, I hate to point out the obvious, but a good amp and a few pedals is not going to make anyone "approach the tone" of Jason Ricci. I can attest to this from direct experience.
On a few occasions over the years I have been invited to sit in for a song or two with Jason and his band at various and sundry gigs. And I actually played right trough Jason's rig... using his exact same pedals and settings, his exact same amp/amp ton/vol settings, his exact same mic... and not moments after he'd just played... with his exact same band members.
I have good tone, but my tone ain't Jason's by a long shot. No siree. Even playing through his rig, my tone did not "approach" Jason's. Jason's tone has very little to do with his rig. He just plain, flat-out has great tone, and it's a tone all his own.
I bet that HarpGear amp sounds great, and no doubt it works well with pedals.... but maybe that last bit is a bit of an oversell.

Subject: [Harp-L] HarpGear Double Trouble for sale
Mint condition lacquered Tweed HarpGear Double Trouble with cover. Upgraded
speakers - Weber Sig Ceramic & Weber 8F125 for extra bottom from much bigger
magnets and a lot more power output from the higher efficiency speakers. The
original configuration sounded wimpy compared to what this amp can dish out
now. I've been using it with a LoneWolf Delay and Tone + and the amp just
screams great harp tone and a lot louder. If you want an amp that takes
pedals very well and want to approach the tone of Jason Ricci then this
little guy is for you. I'm selling it to help finance a used Cruncher. $800
plus shipping.
