RE: [Harp-L] Re: Harpking

["Robert Vivona" <ravivona@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just wanted to point out with all the discussion of the two amps that this
event was a harmonica camp, not an actual "gig" and that at least Annie's
amp(the SonnyJr 410) and the mic were not hers (at least the 410 was brought
in by one of the campers). I was lucky enough to be at the event and can
tell you that both players were amazing, independent of amp. This was
definitely a scene of "just plug in and play" so I would imagine that
neither amp was "tweaked" to settings that either player would have required
for a gig (at least I didn't see Annie doing much tweaking before she
started). Didn't seem to bother them much.

Just wanted to point out that the conditions for comparison between the two
amps (or the preferences of the two players, for that matter) was probably
not ideal.

For full disclosure, I own a SonnyJr 410 and am very happy with it.

Bob
