To anyone who is looking for a good deal on an HG50, I have an HG50 ready to go that has a small dent in the top of the cabinet which is almost indescernable. It is so hard to see my camera won't capture it well enough to show on the site. As the cabinet is "damaged" I am going ot sell this new amp for $1600 plus shipping. The only issue with the whole amp is the small compression mark. If you are interested let me know. Once again, thanks to everyone and as always, feel free to write or call with any questions.

HarpGear Amplification
HarpGear
Amplification offers harp amps specifically voiced for harmonica
players who
are tired of rigging amps to kind of work for harp playing.
There are a
plethora of amps out there that can be made to be acceptable harp
amps.
Usually you change some preamp tubes and the speaker and then you have
something that will work for you. With our amps they not only
come with
the correct speaker and tube combinations but, they also come with the
circuitry specifically designed to accentuate the tonal qualities most
harp
players find desirable in an amp. When you buy a HarpGear
amplifier you
are buying a quality amplifier that will make you sound your best and
last you
a lifetime. We sell a full line of amplifiers from smaller 5 watt
amps to
the HG50 50W amplifier that Jason Ricci plays. We do this because
most
harp players are looking for an amp that will easily give them what
they need
in a package they can actually get around with. These amps
also
have a line out so you can run it directly to the PA and use the amp as
a
monitor. Then you can be as loud as you would like through the
PA and
get your sound out there while maintaining the nice round brown
distortion we
all love. These amp has been very well received by professionals
like
Charlie Musselwhite, Jason Ricci, Dennis Gruenling, Larry "The
Iceman" Eisenberg and Adam Gussow as well as plenty of other great
professional players and amateur players who are looking for an amp to
use as
they develop their own sound. Please see our video sound
samples
and read our reviews section for more on how these amps sound and the
great
experiences users have had. You will see the cabinet is
beautifully finished with a durable
lacquer coating or tolex and the electronics are painstakingly precise
to
ensure you a great amp you will love for years to come. If you
have any
questions feel free to call or email me and
ask. I always love talking to other harmonica players and will do
anything I can to help you with the correct decision even if it means
not going
with one of my amplifiers. brian@harpgear.com

| All Harp Gear
Amplifiers include: -Solid
pine finger
jointed cabinet.
-Solid 3/8" Baltic birch baffle for the best sound reproduction. The baffle acts just like the sound board on a guitar and unlike particle board baffles which absorb the tone the Baltic birch reproduces your tone accurately. -High quality custom transformers wound for us for a truly awesome sound as well as oversized transformers to add more honk to your amp and give you plenty of sweet round distortion. -Mil Spec G10 Garrolite eyelet boards to prevent both tweed disease and moisture absorption common on pressed fiber boards which produces false capacitance and causes crackle and hum. You will not have that problem with our boards and they will last a lifetime. -Highest quality components including Sprague Atoms capacitors, Xicon Capacitors, Sprague Orange Drop or Mallory 150 tone caps, phenolic sockets, switchcraft jacks and custom transformers. -All amplifiers are hand wired one at a time with the utmost attention to detail. -Values of components are increased in key areas to make the amplifier more responsive with all the bass and crunch a harp player needs. -Weber VST speakers and Jensen vintage speakers available in both ceramic and alnico to fit your playing style. -The option of having current production tubes or NOS tubes. -An additional line out jack to run to the PA so you will never have a problem being heard over the rest of the band. You can still use your amp as a monitor to hear yourself while plugged into the PA. The line out can also be used to record directly into your computer line in or into a sound board. |

I've had a few people asking about the HarpGear shirts lately. So I thought I would repost this link for anyone interested in ordering a shirt. It is handled by Zazzle and the shirt quality is very good and they ship quickly. If you get a shirt please feel free to send me a picture of yourself in it for the site if you would like. I'll post it in the news section. The front has the slogan"got tone?" and the back has the HarpGear logo and info. Zazzle will even let you customize the shirt and move the graphics around to your liking.
