Welcome Skip Simmons to the BluesHarmonica.com team! Skip is legendary in the blues harmonica world as THE guy to send your gear to or buy from. Every state/country I've been to I hear harp players singing his praises (and have played many of his amps on the road... loaned to me by local harp players). Ask Skip how to get the most out of your amp (tube and speaker subs for example) or his opinion on an amp purchase or restore you may be thinking of.

Kendrick 5w amp

Hi Skip,
I have a Kendrick 5W practise amp ... voiced for harp by Gerald Weber.
For a mic i have one I purchased from Sonny Jr...on the website.
what do you think of that combination?
I would like to add reverb...
what about a Fender 63 reverb reissue? or ??
the amp would just sit on my shelf...i dont need to move it around and the less cords the better..
Thank you!
Steve
