Re: [Harp-L] best small tube amp?

[lonesomedaveferguson@xxxxxxxxx]

The best (for me) and certainly the smallest tube amp out there is the Lone Wolf Harp Attack pedal.

I can't say enough good things about this pedal. You can get a huge, deep tube sound and dial in as much crunch drive as you like. It's small and portable. You can use it in front of any other amp to tame or shape to get the sound you want or you can go direct through the PA. If you need an amp as monitor on stage you just need to invest in a clean powered monitor or keyboard amp.

I have owned Champs, Princetons, custom amps and still have a modded Bassman that seldom if ever leaves the house these days.

For examples you can check my youtube channel but bear in mind I tend toward quite a subtle tube sound with minimal crunch that doesn't fully demonstrate the versatility of this unit.

Randy Landry of Lone Wolf Blues Company is easy to deal with and a harp player designing great gear for harp players. With regard to the Harp Attack I think every harp player should have one...

Just my two cents but head over to: http://lonewolfblues.com/attack.html for a closer look.

All the best

I use a Kalamazoo, that I purchased from Gregg Heumann.  Only 5 wts.  I mic 
it through our P.A.  Really great tone.  Gregg restores them.  Well worth 
it, and not too expensive.

I think that depends on your price range. There are lots of harp-specific 
tube amps out there in low-wattage versions but they tend to be pricey. I've 
played with the VHT Special 6 and it's all it's cracked up to be on this 
forum. Very solid tone right out of the box, and reasonably priced. I passed 
on it, though, because I have an early-to-mid-60s Supro 16T that is 
absolutely awesome at about 4 watts. I haven't found anything in a small 
wattage amp that I like better.
