[Harp-L] Re: Ron Holmes modified Crate VC508

Every amp I've taken to Ron has come out much quieter than when it  
went in. It's one of his trademarks...
I'm glad so many of you have discovered just what a genius he is, and  
the incredibly fine work he does. I wish I could've convinced him to  
move up here to Oregon with me. We've got a TON of players up here,  
and way too few amp techs. None of them understand harp like Ron does.
You know, Ron and my old guitarist Laurence were always putting their  
heads together whenever Laurence needed a new pedal. Ron would build  
stuff from scratch for him that was totally custom and fit Laurence's  
unique needs perfectly. If you need a special pedal or gizmo, give  
Ron a call and tell him what you're interested in. That's how we came  
up with the Harp Commander.

A little while ago I reported that I sent my Crate VC508 to Ron Holmes
at Holmes Engineering for modifications. ....................

The amp is also much quieter than it used to be,

and I wouldn't hesitate a second to bring this amp to sessions with  
the

most demanding producers I know.
