Q for David re Amp Reviews

Posted Mon, 09/07/2020 - 09:55 by AceVentura

Hi, David. I've posted here because the forum directed to you seems to be limited to questions on lessons. In your amp review, you specifically mentioned not reviewing the Pig Nose and gave a reason for that decision. Unfortunately, I've lost track of exact video and would rather not rewatch five or six for what amounts to being a five-second comment. Can you please remind of the reason you did not review the Pig Nose?

Thanks in advance.

Fender Champion 20 1x8" 20-watt Combo Amp

Hey, all. After two years, I want to try my hand at electrified music and will be ordering a Bulletini mic later this week. My question concerns the accompanying amp. I know Gregg recommends the Laney Cub but the price is a bit too steep for my first amp. I was thinking of the Fender Champion 20 1x8" 20-watt Combo which was recommended to me as a good practice amp by a guitarist I know.

Any thoughts on this? All opinions are welcome.

Thoughts on Hohner 360º

Hello folks!

I play guitar and bass for a while and decided to step in to the harp world. 

First I intended to buy the cheapest available but I saw some reviews and knew it would be harder to learn in those. Them I found this Hohner 360, at an incredible price (around 15 dollars - I live in Argentina, by the way), it's even cheaper than the special 20. I certified it was not Chinese and jump into it. 

The only review I've found so far in it was a YouTube video in Russian or ucranian and no subtitles at all. continue reading...

Harp Rack Project

I had some componets that I already owned and used them with other instruments so I knew they worked.  I was concerned about weight and usability so that was a factor in choosing the harp rack. I also wanted to be wireless and be able to use the mic for sax and clarinet.  Found that I can just remove the rack and hang it so I can still use the mic with it still mounted to the harmonica in the rack.  I also tried a boom mic stand as I wanted to use it for keyboard and guitar.  This setup worked the best for me. continue reading...

Silverfish mic and Boss Katana amp - any feedback welcome

Hello everyone.

I would be happy to hear any feedback on my current tech setup. I have a Silverfish Silver Bullet mic with a Clean/Dirty switch and a Boss Katana 50W amp that I originally bought for my guitar.

I've never tried other mics or amps and would like to know if these will be enough for my first years into harmonica journey or if they have any serious weak points.
