You need to check out the new Victoria "Blowbox" Harp amp! I was instrumental in designing and getting into their line of top shelf amps. Go to youtube and search me "James Reeser" and there are a couple of recent vids featuring it.
It is a 45 watt 2X8 amp. It looks like a tweed head but yes it has 2 8" speakers in it. No one can believe such a fat rich tone comes from a little amp. It is versatile... light weight... It can be plugged into any speaker cab as it has 2, 4 and 8 ohm output taps. It also has a switch that makes it either a stock 59 Bassman if that is your tone (also for guitar if desired) or flip the switch for the harp special circuits and rich fat harp tone! And yes has plenty of power as a stand alone to keep up with just about any band.
Just wanted to let you know you guys sounded great at sunbanks!! I had a good time. Young and talented!!! I have lots of pictures and videos on my page of the weekend!! Ty Curtis Band
Hey Hank, Thanks for the add! I've heard great things about your harp playing - I'm looking forward to meeting you and hearing ya play; perhaps in Eugene? Be well and keep a good thought, Peace, C. Mudcat Smith
Hi there Hank! Just popped by to say thank you for being my friend. I appreciate your friendship greatly and wish you all the best. Have a great week and feel free to drop by any time. Take care my friend... Bessings, Peace and Love...Mojo.
Thanks for your friend request... you guys make some great music! I've never had the privilege of hearing you (I don't think so, at least) or the Ty Curtis Band live, but I hope to sometime soon! Congrats on all the press and accolades you and the band have been receiving lately, too :)
Hope you have a great week, and I look forward to attending a show (or seeing you at one of mine!) sometime :)
Thank you so much Hank for honoring us with your friendship.... You absolutely blow my mind in some new and different way every time I hear you play whatever instrument you happen to be playing when I hear you. I hope that you are having wonderful evening and that the adventures of your Life feel like a ride on the mystery train of Pure Joy.....Thanks again...
