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 the smaller 5
watt HG2 that Adam Gussow plays 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 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 HarpGear
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. All component leads are straightened and cleaned before the are soldered to the G10 board. -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. -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. |
