RE: [Harp-L] Sonnyjr Avenger
Dear John and All,
This is not a "Dear John", but instead, a firm confirmation of
John's thoughts on Sonny Jr. Amps and anyone else's knowledgeable thoughts
who hold the same beliefs about Sonny Jr. Amps.
There are many wonderful harp amps or amps that can be used,
altered, or adapted for amplified harmonica. I own a Sonny Jr. 4X10, The
Cruncher, and The Avenger, and I have played the Sonny Jr. 1 back in the old
days. Comparing them to the Rolls Royce or anything else ultimate is
correct. The design, workmanship, and all technical aspects of these amps
are superior. But, the tone, sound, and performance of these amps are super
fabulous! Don't sell them, don't let guitar players use them, and don't sit
anything on the incredible lacquer finish. These amps are collector's items
as you can see by my collection, but they are also amazing tools to execute
the art of playing amplified harmonica. If you are destitute...sell them, if
you are in dire straits....sell them, but anyone selling them for any other
reason remember they will be exactly as any other exclusive item, they will
gain value in time. Hang on to them, protect them, and play them! Someday
they will be scarcely available, extremely expensive, and the search for one
will be like searching for The Holy Grail!
Rockin' Ronny

I agree. I have all the Sonnyjr's except the SonnyJr 1. As time passes there
will be more and more people looking for these amps. The lacquered tweed
will only become more beautiful as the amps age. In my opinion they are
definitely the Rolls Royces of harp amps. Lately guitar players have been
using my SuperSonny....they love it! I've seen a couple here and there on
Ebay but just can't understand why people would sell these gorgeous amps.
They are an investment that will only increase in time....just my two
cents...
