My buddy 'Lil Willie' dropped off his Epiphone Valve Jr
for me to turn into a "Harp monster".
It seems from several reports that I have succeded.
Willie is very very happy,
and 2nd hand info has others wanting to
go hear his 'new sound', because people are talking.
He has named it "Harpnosis"
and an engraved name plate is being made,
And a 2nd one will have my credits for the
'Tube amp mods by DD. Samui-Tone Amps'.
His idea.
Here is the circuit more or less.
It was started from Lone Wolf's EVj. harp amp mods,
but is NOT that anymore for sure.
Not strictly a steel amp, but I will play steel
against this amp in the future.
Very far from a normal guitar amp too.
This is a pretty beat on Vj circuit,
but it works really well for bullit mic
and harp. He was getting out into Randy Rhodes
territory at one point. Heavy Metal harp.
His eyes went bug-eyed at that one.
Willie:
"This as more sounds than any harp amp,
that I have played or heard."
Nice to get a satisfied customer!
