Re: [Harp-L] small harp amp

[icemanle@xxxxxxx]

I own a Fender Sidekick 15 solid state amp - not a gearhead so I can't give you the specs, but it may be an old version of what you are describing as a Frontman. I've always gotten a great Chicago style tone out of it using JT-30 or Green Bullet. It isn't very loud, but is very crunchy. Mic'ing it would work for big gigs. 
 
They can run us both off the list, but at least we'll have each other.

Mike, 
 Tried to connect on your web site not enough room. I bought a Fender Frontman 
new for $79. 15 watts, solid-state, 8 inch speaker. I plugged a Harmonica 
Honker mic into it and that little dude rocks. I tried a Mexican Green Bullet 
and it works but feeds back more than the Honker. This amp has to be miked up. 
I sat in with a band(who needed a harp player) at the Rolling on The River 
Festival and sound crew had no problem making me heard loud and clear. I 
normally use a Fender Twin and a SM 57 but I wanted to see how this practice 
amp worked on a large stage in an outdoor setting. I probably will be run off 
this list for mentioning solid-state amp. I just am curious to see if anyone 
else has gone this route?
