I recently got an iPhone4 and was checking out some apps when I came across this Ampltube app which is for guitar player to use different amps, effects pedal, recording, different spkers combos etc lots of options they sell this adapter called iRig that allows for your 1/4 in jk to 1/8 in into iPhone and also gives an 1/8 in jk out for headphones (or external recorder. Anyone use this? Haven't heard it mentioned for harp, but why not!?

Thanks!

I am really looking forward to this:

Garageband for iPad

And this:

Apogee Jam

To go with my new:

iPad 2

I've been fortunate enough to be able to play with the new iPad for the past couple of days. I love this thing, and Garageband is going to be killer.

David, maybe it's time to get an iPad app for Bluesharmonica.com???

Anybody using a Biscuit/30 type mic

I have a Astatic 30 which I sent to Fritz years ago and he set it up great for harp. I hadn't played much amplified harp for quiet a while, but now I am back in full time, head over heels. I have been trying to bond with the Biscuit, but I just can't get a good grip on it. It is too small and kind of uncomfortable. Anybody else feel the same way? I hate to let it go, it sounds fine (when I can get a good grip/seal) but I just can't get comfortable grip like I can on a bullet mic.

Anybody know what kind of harmonica rack Jimi Lee is using in the interview. I use the cheap one, this seems really good.

I have SJ1 that I purchased through Sonny Jr.....(Gary Onofrio)....he said it was one of the best ones out there.
Never used it.....sitting on a table in my office with a Tuki cover.
I bought a Wezo 45 separate head and speaker cabinet because it fits in living room better.
$850...plus shipping.....less than i paid for it.

For Sale: Wezo 45 Amp Like New

I am again offering my Wezo 45 combo amp. Hate to part with it, but my situation necessitates that I do so. This amp was purchased new by me from MegaTone Amps in 2010. Very little played, and has never been outside the house since it was delivered from Megatone. You won't be able to tell this one from new. One 10" and one 12" speaker.

Costs $2450 new before shipping. This one is shipped insured to your door for $1875. continue reading...

Kustom 36, Peavey Prowler 45

Hi, i am wondering if anyone has used either of these amps. they are both American made...i played through both in LMS recently, and thought the Kustom quite nice...a lot nicer than my current Designed-in-Australia-made-in-China Ashton Viper 30. but in the shop of course its hard to say. it sounded nice with just the on board reverb. The peavey was in a different shop, totally different space..so the comparison is hardly fair. All the amps are single 12"combos continue reading...

Volume Pedal Suggestions?

Anyone have any suggestions for a volume pedal? I am playing with an Lone Wolf Harp Attack direct into PA, and a Lone Wolf delay is coming in the mail.

Ideally, I want to set up a board with those two pedals following my signal coming from a wireless. I need a quick way to jump up over the band, as I play at jams where the guitars start to drown me out over a few songs.

I imagine I will lose some tone by doing this. Any suggestion or advice is appreciated.

Cases - What do you use?

What do you use for a harp case? If you built it, tell us about it.

I use the new Hohner 7-harp holder/folder as my travel case:

For my stage set I use a case I used to manufacture called the Harmonica Stage Case:
