I talked with Dale Laslie, of Megatone amp fame, about a good speaker for the early Concert amps; he suggested a tenderized Eminence red fang speaker, rather then the Jensen jet. After chatting about the limited break-up on this amp, he said, "his research has shown that disconnecting the negative feedback loop to the phase inverter would warm the tone, and get better break-up". After taking his advice, I did both. This is an amp that has a no name power and output transformer, it has mis-matched vintage Jensen C10q's on top, and a lil buddy and the fang on the bottom. continue reading...

Hello Amplified Harp Players
With exception to that little incident in Bolivia, The Sundance Kid was always quick to the draw, and rarely missed his intended target. His pistol was always holstered in the right place at the right time.
You’ll always hit your intended target by never having to reach back for your harp mic again. Hang your mic onto your vocal mic stand!
Check out this “out of the box” microphone holder. Originally designed for guitars, this device has never let me down. continue reading...
Can anyone give me a little advice about microphones for harmonica. I've seen the BadAax ZD-2 Cardioid Dynamic for about $56. The Shure Green Bullet 520DX Dynamic on Amazon for about 120. The Hohner Blues Blaster for around 140. And I found an Astatic JT-30 (claiming to be NOS) for around 200. continue reading...
This summer I'm going to camp in a cabin in Montana for a week with some other musicians. Last time I camped with them I played completely acoustic, but I had wished I had a small amp. Any recommendations? We do have electricity.

Hello everyone! and happy new year!
well, I just wanted know which are for you the best sounding stock tube amps (harp-friendly, it's understood) in the market, without surpassing the 1000$ limit (a matter of budget), and able to cut through the band in small/medium gigs...
(Band: Drums, bass, guitar, harp/singer)
I've been thinking about the Fender Pro Junior, but I fear it may fall short...
