tone and the Kinder products
I read an earlier thread in relationto the Kinder ant-feedback device (Blue Box). I have one and also have a Harp King 6x10. You noted the possibility of having tonal issues with these units and it peaked my interest. While I love the ability to avoid feedback and always be heard, I have struggled with trying to "warm" the tone up. If only I could get the tone that David demonstdrated so well with his video combined with the volume of the HK - what a deal.
Do you have any suggestions. I am thinking of experimenting with delays, etc. even though Rod has told me the amp doesn't need them. I know the amp "resists" anything added, but one could certainly sacrifice some of the volume for that rich, deep tone.
I use a Turner mic with crystal (one of Dennis O's creations).
Bob: You might try contacting Dennis Gruenling. He swears that the 6x10 is THE AMP. I know he sounds amazing on it as well a Estrin. I don't know where you live but you could go to one of their shows and I'm sure they would talk to you about it.
Hello Bob- Thanks for writing. What I said was that the more limiting you use, the more it affects the tone. This is true for any effect. I would suggest that unless you are gigging with a band, a smaller amp would be easier to get a good tone from. On the other hand, I've heard Rick play a 6-10 HK in a 14X14 living room and you can bet he had some good tone! Practice and technique trumps gear every time.
