Gear

Ok, so I have considered using my guitar Amps for harp but none of them sound great and by the time I’ve paid out to get one of them modded up for harp, with no guaranteed results for good tone, I think it wise to buy a dedicated harp amp, but which one?

i plan to gig eventually and so want an amp which will do this. I am thinking HarpGear hp50?

or at a more affordable level lone wolf harptrain 40?

advice is very much welcomed.

I have a room full of amps -- new and old. I've built a couple of my own mods. So no one can accuse me of not being a biased amp fanatic. But over the past few years, I've been moving more and more toward digital modeling and IR profiling, and it's beginning to disturb me that I'm playing less and less of my old classic amps, and more and more finding myself plugging into an FRFR speaker with an amp modeler.

The silent stage movement is really beginning to pick up. Here's an article about the band Chicago's journey toward that world: continue reading...

hi,

is anyone using a fender type pr266 ‘evil’ twin amp for Harp?

i am having trouble setting mine up. Do I need to Chang tubes? 

I was using the "Music Speed Changer" on Android : nice slow down and pitch change, AB repeat is only basic and user friendly.

I am now using "Audipo" on Android : great AB repeat, in fact more like ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR repeat : first set indexes on the music where you want, then navigate easily to choose the parts that you want to rehearse. The slow down works well to 15% slow, not so good above.

I've had a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe guitar amp for about 18 years. I want to make it more harmonica friendly. Currently, i can set the volume to 1 maybe 1.5 before feedback becomes a problem. It has a lot of settings, including reverb, that I can play with to adjust tone. Any thoughts on how to eliminate or significantly reduce the feedback?

Amp has 2 6L6GC/5881 Power Tubes and 3 12AX7A pre-amp tubes.

I feel like I'm committing some kinda crime amost by bringing this up but when replaced my A special 20 with a marine band crossover to try it before buying a full 12 key set. many of the pros seem to play the marine band harps, so I great expectations for the crossover.

while I love the sound and fast reponse, the different cover plate designs seems to leave a sharo edge on the bamboo comb that is not near as comfortable as the special 20 when playing. continue reading...

Has anyone had a chance to try out the new Supro Blues King amp?  

Hello everyone,

I am planing to build a custom cab with multiple speakers. I have a 5w tube amp with a 10'' jensen that sound great for my feeling. I read that cab with 2x10'' or 2x8' + 1x10'' gave good result.

Das anyone tried to mix three speakers of size 8'', 10'' and 12''.

A thank you in advance for your answers.

Roger

Hi

I know by going through the reviews on amps here 10” speakers are better than 12” for harp playing but I have a chance of a Laney Cub 212r, should I give this a miss or give it a try, I have recently purchased a Bulletini mic to go with my amp. 

Cheers 

Roger
