Very nice deep n fat sound, would like to hear without so much reverb on amp/PA....so how much does one of those Mephis Blood mics go for then???? Cheers Derrick
Thank you for your comment on my late husband. Yes, he was a grat bluesman. He died too young. His career was just starting to take off when he passed. I plan to keep his memory alive as long as I can. Jeannette
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.
