I am thinking about buying an Egnator Amp Head like the one that Gary Smith features on the site but amsearching for the right speaker cabinet to compliment the amp. Should the speaker box be enclosed or open-backed? Any suggestions? Thanks

ZT Lunchbox: My New Setup for Playing with Amp through Headphones in My Apt!

Posted Wed, 09/12/2012 - 22:12 by Anne Marie Jackson

I am so excited about my new setup for playing at home. I cannot afford a great big house with space between me and the neighbors or a separate studio to practice in, so it's me at home in my apartment, surrounded on three sides by neighbors. Side walls are pretty thick, but ceiling, even with the Audimute sound absorption sheets on walls and ceiling, is not tight enough to withstand me serenading my good-natured upstairs neighbors with Telphone Blues for the 1 millionth time on amp. continue reading...

Hi All, I seem to be looking for another amp altho I'm not totally sure why as i own a 1960 Fender Vibrolux which is pretty sweet. As I's certain everyone is aware as u research amplifiers everyone claims that theirs is the very best!!! I've read some good things about the Mission Chicago and also about the HarpKing. My band plays a lot of of West Coast/Piazza stuff so of course I have an interest in the Harpking. Experiences and inputs????

Epiphone valve junior vs Fender VibroChamp XD

I just scored an Epi VJ. The combo, version 3. Head to head using a 99g86 element in a JT30, with the amps stock, I think it's no contest. The fender is a street better as a harp friendly amp. I'm using voice 4 on the fender, that's the same pre amp voice as the clean channel on the super champ . (ithink you don't have separate control of gain on the super champ's clean channel though). Anyway, this is stock, but secondhand I think they are about the same price. I'm gonna start messing with the epi now and see if it gets better.

How about MegaTone harp amp technology packaged inside a cool vintage P.A. head, at a fraction of the price? We have two great deals to offer you as part of our summer house cleaning sale.

One is a Challenger CHA-33 that includes all the features found in the new WEZO ME18 head plus the half power switch. The other head is a hybrid that takes the circuitry of our ME18 up to the tone control, and splices this onto the tone controls of the WEZO 45, and includes ground lift & half power switches, all this neatly packed inside a Challenger CHB-35. continue reading...

HarpLock

Hello Harmonica Rack Players,
I just received my magnetic harmonica holder that attaches to my Shure 58 microphone. That's right, directly onto the base of the ball shaped grill. A magnet holds the harmonica securely in place in front of my microphone.

If you have a song that modulates key signatures, requiring you to swap harmonicas, now you can position the second harmonica in a ready to play location. If you are a guitar player who likes to do the Bob Dylan method of rack playing, but grew frustrated with the cumbersome nature of harmonica neck racks, you have to give this a try. continue reading...

Am I the only one that thinks it's funny that Hohner charges $9 shipping to send a $9 set of 5 tiny plastic windsavers from Virginia to Washington state?
