Re: [Harp-L] Tech 21 solid state amps for harmonica?

[Mike Fugazzi <mikefugazzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

The Bass Driver DI is solid for cleanish tones, but great for more 
tweed-like tones.  I can dial in a sound close enough to my HG2 that no one 
could tell the difference.  However, since I run it through a 100w powered 
speaker, I am able to get WAY more volume and eq it to sound larger and 
fuller too.  I find that even when using the blend knob, it is either to 
sterile or too muddy for a really clean harp sound.

Now the Para DI...that's a whole different story for warm cleans.  The 
blend works better for harp and the sweepable mids make it much easier to 
dial in a clean sound.  I A/Be'd them both with a RP255, HG2, and PA/mixer 
yesterday and the combo of the Para and a AKG D5 was the best for warm, yet 
defined, cleans for my solos stuff.

The Bass DI and my SM57 or Bullet mic was blues heaven.
