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...
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''.
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.
I have been taking the LOA excersices for about a year now. I have been going through quite a few harmonicas. Already I had to repurchase several in the key of A and D. I am going with the recommended marine band Hohners.
I am thinking I should invest in an instrument that might hold up to my endless practicing. Its frustrating to get into a practice session ony to be held up because a note here or there is no longer accessible. I appreciate any advise from the experts.
Hi there, I’ve noticed, (over the years), the custom bullet mics with Grill cloth/mesh in a variety of colors; does anyone know where to obtain this? A google search reveals cool blue, red mics,(etc.), with cloth colors matching the mic, but no info, thanks!
Hello, Can anyone give me some advice as a starting point for the order of my effects? I mainly just go with my LW octave and my LW v2 delay but I have accumulated a few more and am plying out with friends more so I was trying to get a more versatile rig. Currently I have it in this order: Shield, LW Break, LW Octave, MXR Boost, V2 Delay and Sonic Stomp. I run them through my HG2 or my Kalamazoo 2. Its ok I think but and change suggestions would be much appreciate. continue reading...
