What's the difference besides the bamboo comb?

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...

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?

We have a WEZO-45 head that has only been used in our demo room that needs a home.

If you ever considered owning the amp that put us on the map, this is a great opportunity to save well over $500 off the regular price. The amp is in like new condition, has all the latest revisions, with coco & cream tolex, that includes the full 3 year factory warranty and instruction book, free shipping to anywhere in the continental USA, and 10% off any MegaTone speaker cabinet or raw tenderized speakers. continue reading...

Anyone have experience with the Zt lunchbox amp. It's only $299, but it's the size of....a lunchbox, and I hear the one made for vocals has a headphone hookup! Nice for apartment dwellers like myself.

I've heard through the grapevine, that for the cost and the convenience, they're a nice deal.

I'm thinking of getting one. But not sure if I want to get the Reglar or the vocals one.

I'm thinking of buying a Fishman Loudbox Artist, 120W, bi-amped solid state amp built specifically for acoustic guitar. I would most likely front it with a Harp Commander IV, Harp Attack, LW Delay or Carl Martin Delayla xII, and a Martin Compressor. Being bi-amped, it has two completely independent sets of EQ and effects controls; one for each XLR/1/4" input. I'm thinking I could run my harp mic into one side and run my Tricone mic into to the other, and have just one fairly lightweight amp to deal with. continue reading...

I have always liked the Nifty-Fifty, when they first came out in the mid 90's, I bought my first one. I was working at the Music Tree in Morgan Hill CA. as a harmonica teacher, and started reccomending them to my students as a great sounding amp. I haven't tried out one recently until Ross Garren brought one over to the house to try out. I jumped on E-bay and bought one for $70.00. I just got it and was not dissapointed. This is a solid-state 15w amp that has just killer tone. It gets a huge sound at a very decent sound level. continue reading...
