I just unpacked my Hot rod deville. It's pretty old , from July 97 ACcording to the sticker, but seems to be in mint condition. All original. I haven't plugged a mic into it yet, but I powered it up and while it is generally very quiet I did notice a strange crackle come in for a while, which disappeared after a couple of minutes. I'm speculating that the amp is probably due for some attention to capacitors, as it is 15 years old and reportedly done very little work the last 10 years. Anyway, it is heading to the workshop this week for some mods as per Aki's recent submission. continue reading...

Hi all,

I've just received a Honeytone mini amp and I am having a great time with it. Now, I would like to record it's output on my computer.

The only inputs my desktop has is a headset mic input, and USB inputs. I have no Line-In input.

I believe the best way would be to use the USB input, and I would need some kind of 1/8inch or 1/4inch Jack / USB converter, into which I plug in the output of my amp, and that I connect to the computer with the USB port.

Goal is torecord tracks on Audacity software. continue reading...

Hi there

I'm looking to buy my first Harmonica amp.
I focus on Blues music.

I've had a number of people I respect recommend a Fender Pro Junior.

I'd like to buy a Marshall if I can though, does anyone know a similar spec'd Marshall?
How do they compare?

Thank you

There isn't a Mac OS version. It is a real shame.

I just scored a SF PR. does anyone know much about them? this has the original speaker. is it likely to be any good for harp? which 10" speaker would you reccommend?

Thanks
Dave

a long time ago i scored an amp from a Model 601 Gaumont-Bell & Howell 16mm movie projector. It took a while to discover exactly what it was. i thought it was a North American amp because the power supply was designed for 110vac. but it turned out to be British. continue reading...

Today I started to play my new 270 Bb Chromatic that Steve Malerbi customized for me and discovered the 4 blow wouldn't respond. I was thinking it was a stuck windsaver but when I got the covers off I discovered that a turkey sandwich was wedged on the edge of the reed. I took my reed plinker and gently removed the object and the problem was solved. continue reading...

I have a chance to buy a guitar amp at cost (sadly they don't have access to harp amp) .

I was looking at the Egnater Rebel 20 and have a cab made with my choice of speaker.

Does it make sense to go in that direction or should I look at a specialty harp amp?

If so, what would be good speakers to go with the Egnater?

Hey there,

I just got a geloso G213 http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/geloso_g213_a_g213a.html

The amp is very loud, but its sounds a bit "thin".

There are 2 12SL7GT tubes in it.
Can I swap it with a 6sl7, or maby a 12sn7?
I got 2 6sn7gtb tubes there, can I try those 2?

I read allot about 12a*7 tubes in harp amps, can i swap them? maby with a "adapter" or something.
And what brand would be the best/would you recommend

What would be the best preamp tubes to get more bass?

And it also got 2 6V6G tubes in my geloso. continue reading...

Hi
Does anyone know if the Fender Super champ X2 will sound the same as the Super champ XD using the clean channel?

Thanks
