I'm getting married and expecting a baby soon, so I'm thinning my herd of amps.  I'm selling my Wezo ME-18 and Sonny Jr. Super Cruncher.   continue reading...

We have updated all the information regarding the new 2014 WEZO ME-18 at the MegaTone website.  Check it out!

Hello!

I have a few gigs coming up  (small to medium sized Brew Pubs) and I want to use BOTH my VHT Special 6 and my Kalamazoo Model II concurrently, with an ABY Switcher. Can you please advise me how you might set this up? continue reading...

Hey guys. I'm selling my Cruncher. Hate to do it but I'm just not ready to play out anywhere anytime soon. It's a waste to see it just sitting here in my room, untouched. I need to work on my playing first before worrying about amplified tone. 

I'm in El Cerrito but could meet up at the Masterclass for those whom are out of town and are flying in. 

The amp is in excellent condition, smokeless environment, home use only, never gigged with it (obviously). 

Any questions, just call.

Our WEZO ME-18 harp amp has been redesigned with a new chassis and some other cabinet color options.  The website will be updated soon, but I want to give you guys a pre-press release description about some of the changes that have been made in this new version of our most popular amp. continue reading...

I have 3 recently blown out "C" Marine Bands, all on draw reeds (3, 2&3, and 7). Any tips? Can Marine Bands be repaired? Any more durable harps recommended?

I very rarely play out, and when I do its at a jam, so I don't bring my amp.  This amp was given to me about 20 years ago, and I don't use it that much.  The controls are Volume, Master, Treble, Middle, Bass, a broken knob labeled Presence, and Reverb.  My mike is a Hohner Blues Blaster, which I gather isn't a very good mike.

Is this amp any good for harp?  Where can I get a knob to fix the Presence control, and what does "Presence" do?

Any suggestions on a new mike?

Thanks!

I don't see too much chatter here about HarpGear.  I know David is an endorser for MegaTone amps and I will someday fork over the cash to get one of those as well, but I would like to say, I am trying out the new HarpGear Hurricane amp. Quite impressive.  I love the tone and with a built in reverb it is fantastic.

It is loosely modelled after a Fender Princeton Reverb.  Cudos to Brian Purdy at HarpGear.  It is a great addition to the line up.

I also have a double trouble of his but it doesn't hold a candle to the Hurricane in my mind.

Cheers all. continue reading...

I am going to purchase an inexpensive Fender amp for practice at home. Either the Champion 20, for $99.00, or the Mustang I V.2 for $119.00. Which would you buy and Why? I will pair the amp with a Shure mic. Thanks for the help!

Can anyone recommend a recorder app for the iPad?

I record parts of jam and practice sessions; it's just as reminder/reference, not to get a quality recording. I've been using a small digital recorder, but if I can do the equivalent on the iPad it'd be one less thing to carry, and would avoid downloading regularly. Any ideas?

Thanks!
