Wanted: Sjoberg / MasterHarp Tuning Table

I'm getting into harmonica tuning and interested in finding a Sjoberg / MasterHarp tuning table.  I know there are plans in the works to manufacture these beauties again, but nothing is available at the moment.

Does anyone have a used table they would like to sell?  My email is ripstavers@gmail.com

Thanks!

Fender Champion 20 amplifier

David, some time has passed, I suspect, since you reviewed the Fender Champion 20. Seems that the Fender on sale under that name nowadays is a lot simpler and lacks some of the specifications you pointed out in your review. What would be the updated market name of that model you reviewed?

Harp Amp Modeler

Hello everybody, sorry for my english.....

I Own 2 amplifiers, a Premier Twin 8R and a Bassman 59 Reissue from 98/99, I don't know exactly because I buyed it used. 

I like both of them, but sometimes it's difficult to set them in some places.

I would like to try some Amp Modeler to play directly in the PA, which one is the best in your opinion to use with the harp?

Thank you.

Best Regards

Danilo

Hi, we're looking to put together an amplified duo (The Red Devils, Bonny B, and the classics) and I was thinking about some foot percussion, like a stompbox. Any recommendations?

Anyone used the Spark Amp for Blues Harmonica? How does it sound?

What settings do you like best?

Amplified playing and ringing reeds

Posted Fri, 12/12/2025 - 12:54 by LessPaul

I'm totally new to amplified harmonica and am using a Hohner HarpBlaster HB52. When there is a pause in my playing the mic picks up a residual "ringing" of the reeds. Is this something that isn't really a problem because in the context of a band it would never be heard (like the hum of single coil guitar pickups) or do people use noise gates to knock it out.?Or another likely possibility: I am doing something wrong.

Amp recommendations for pavement gigs

Hi 

This summer I'll be playing with a small outfit in a bar in Italy. I have sat in with them before, a few years ago, but back then I didn't have a VC on my mic (which I do now, thanks to bluexlab) and I ran through the PA which caused some issues with feedback or general volume.How I wanted an amp then. I still do, to leave the PA for the singer and not run into issues with phantom power etc. continue reading...

Are there any good alternatives to harpninja?  I am in Canada and the app is no longer in the App Store for my ipad?

Amp feedback

Hi,

I'm interested in knowing about a pedal that eliminates amp feedback. I know about the Lone Wolf Harp Shield, but I'm looking for something cheaper that still gives good results. I have a cheap tube amp, an American Joyo pedal, and a Hohner HB52 microphone.

Thanks in advance.

I'm looking at upgarding from my Shure MV5 USB microphone, replacing it with a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen audio interface to use with a Shure SM57 microphone for recaording of my amplifier to GarageBand. 

Curious whether anyone here has experience with the Focusrite Scarlett and any other recommendations.

Thanks,

Mike
