I've got Peavey Windsor Sudio Tube Amp.

What would you recommend to do to make it a  good harmonica amp?

Thanks.

Hello Krisibiga-   I don't have any actual experience with that amp but I can tell you that many of the standard harp-amp tips will apply.

First, try the low-gain input.

Replacing 12AX7s with lower-gain substitutes should help a lot!   Check the BH forums for loads of info on this topic.

The attenuator may help, as may the master volume, but you will need to do a lot of experimenting.  It may very well sound best with the master-volume and attenuator both on "10."

Keep in mind that it is about as far from a harp amp circuit-wise as you can get.  Learn to get a decent tone from it and then practice, practice!
