Hi everybody. I have an Astatic JT30 that has the volume control on the front like many others and it was always getting in the way. I used to just tighten the screw on the side that holds the volume in one place but I have found a better fix and you can still use the volume control without it getting in the way.

I remove the knob from the pot shaft and slide a piece of surgical tubing about 1/4 inch long over the top. It sticks out only about 1/16 of an inch past the edge of the harp but because it's rubber it's easy to grip to make mic adjustments. continue reading...

Limited Final Harp Amp Builds

After over ten years of building the MegaTone WEZO ME18 harmonica amps, we are approaching the end of the runway.  Always considered to be “expensive” as compared to other boutique offerings, but actually a good value when you consider the unique range of classic harp tones, hand made using top quality components, and wired with point to point construction.  Our amp has features not found on other amps found at any price point, custom Mercury Magnetics transformers complete the mojo in this design. continue reading...

Is there such a harmonca that I could play - even while in an airplane - that only I could here and not disturb others ?

If so...where can I get one ?

                 Thank you for your time

Hello all,I've come across someone with multiple mics available ("junk" dealer). From what era are the JT 30's with the screen printed tag? The internets are telling me from the 80's. If so, what would you pay? Assuming it was in good original working and cosmetic condition?

Hi,

completely new to amplified playing I am very satisfied with the HX Stomp.

Currently I am just using reverb and amp simulation, but I wonder if anybody is using this devide too ...

best,Marc

this last week i recieved the wezo 45 2010

looks great and sounds good

i was dissapointed at first because i couldnt get the the volume past three

i called dale and he told me the pad works for feedback when closer to zero instead of 10

now the volume can get to 5 in my small apartment

                i hope to turn the volume higher in a larger place

before i learned about the pad, i tried the lone wolf blues harp shield and voodoo lab feedback killer continue reading...

This is an unsolicited shout-out to Greg Heumann (our mic expert here on the Forum) and his BlowsMeAway Productions. Getting into amplified playing, I started using a low-Z Shure SM-57 that I own. I later added an in-line volume control and a Bullitizer from Greg. But with the weight and length of the volume control and XLR connection added to the Shure body, the feel of the mic when playing was akin to trying to take a rescued squirrel to the vet for a check-up. continue reading...

There's probably a thread about this already, but: Does anyone have a recomendation for software for converting YouTube audios to MP3 format? I've seen some info on the web that some software is buggy or may even have malware in it, so out of caution I'd like hear what folks have had good experiences with. Thanks!

Hi 

Anyone use amp stands, if so which one?

i got a harp train 10 at a great price from randy

when i got it, i wanted to like it more and didnt

i wanted an amp i can take some place and not worry about a vintage amp that cant be replaced, with somebody stealing the tubes, or the amp

i spoke to dale laslie about it and he sent me a celestion red fang RF ceramic 10" speaker

         when i took out the original speaker, the celestion was twice as heavy

i took out the pre amp and power tubes from JJ, which are good tubes

i put in a NOS GE 6L6 AND NOS GE 6072 (12AY7) continue reading...
