[jlemko]

I like it.

i think the amp sounds great it's probably the camera mic if anything that's letting it down. good harp playing good amp thanks for letting us see it

I wouldn't be throwing the amp out in a hurry. Great playing and I can HEAR that this is an amp I could make work for me with a favourite mic. The tone's there and I'm sure it would CUT with a band as opposed to some amp with too much compressed bass and mid, which would get lost.

I agree. To me, this amp gets great tube break up but is too bright. The mic in the video is a mid 50's Astatic 151 element. Mic's with bigger bottom end would be better matched with this amp, as bright as it is.

I'm with rbeetsme. Good playin' just dont care for the tone of the amp. Thanks for sharing with us though.

I have never had the amp serviced, so am sure many tubes have been replaced and it could sound better. Also, the speaker have been replaced and not with what I consider ideal harp speakers. The room is carpeted so kind of a "dead" sounding room. Still, of the vintage amps I have, this one sounds fairly warm to me. Perhaps you can post a video of yourself with what you consider a hot amp and good playing. I would love to hear it.

Thanks

I don't care for the mic tone... But nice playing!

[rbeetsme]

Decent playing, amp is pretty cold, does nothing for me. Tube swap? Origianl 12AX7's?
