Harmonica is
spoken here. If you want your volume control to live where the
tone is, you need to come see me. All the buzz about lower gain
tubes is a half step. To start with, you need the tubes with the
killer tone - that means going back to 12AX7's where there are
tonal choices. Thats a mad good start. Then we have to go in your
amp and set the gain structure up to make the amp a harp amp.
No chicken shit cookie cutter crap. Your amp, exactly the way
you want it. I know what to do. I will blow your mind. And yes,
if you have a boutique tube amp you are still only half way there.
Bring it in and I will work it so your hair stands up. Bring a
harp and a mic too.
I have modified
Harp Gear amps. I can dial in Jerry McCain "Steady"
tone!
If you are having an
amp bias adjusted, then the amp is usually ready the next day!
