Hello,

A friend guitarist lend me his Orange Rocker 32 amp. Is this a good amp for the harmonica? I tried it quick and it sounds good. The dirty channel sounds very mean!

I would appreciated your thoughts on this before I decide to buy it or invest my money in another amp.

Thanks,

Gabriel

Hello Gabriel. I'll answer in

Hello Gabriel. I'll answer in Skip's place since he focuses on repairing vintage equipment and not chiming in on new gear. The only issue I see about this amp is that it's very powerful, so it may be a bit feedback prone (especially on the dirty channel). If you play it and it sounds good to you, and you can get the volume to where you need it to be, then go for it!

Thanks David. I did notice

Thanks David. I did notice the feedback issue.

I have a Memphis Blues Little Fatty. Do you think plugin that in would help with the feedback?

Give it a try, it's not an expensive device (I haven't personally used one).
