Do you collect tube amps or work on them? Do you go to guitar shows and take pictures? Do you know tips and techniques for playing amplified blues harp that you'd like to share.
I need bloggers who are willing to post to harpamps.com a few times a month on Tube Amp related subjects (not spam). Your posts will reach 20,000 readers each month. Let me know if you are interested.
Thanks, Keith

  BOSS 1959 Fender Bassman Pedal
Boss was showing this off at NAMM. I would like to try one out, but I wonder how it sounds with harp?


Fender amps of the '50s and '60s are beloved and coveted by guitarists around the world. Thanks to BOSS' technology and tone know-how, the new FBM-1 brings the natural, fat, rich, bright tone of the Fender Bassman to a BOSS pedal. In conjunction with Fender, the new BOSS FBM-1 recreates the legendary tone of the 1959 Fender Bassman. Features include the same controls on the original Bassman: Presence, Treble, Mid, and Bass EQ controls. The FBM-1 also functions perfectly as a "pre-gain pedal" placed before an already overdriven amp to add the tone character of the Bassman.

I wonder how it sounds in front of a 59 Bassman repro. (or a reissue)
 
How does it sound in front of a 59 Bassman? Like stereo -- in reverse.
 
Did you have the chance to try this out yet? I'm thinking of using one with my other effects and running it straight into my small J Turser amp or directly through the PA. Let me know. mikel-lee at comcast dot net.

Thanks!
 
I tried it at a music store. It's like a tube screamer. It just makes you a little louder with some hiss and makes you feed back. Good for guitar but useless for harp. It might be good for the PA, but the guitar amp I tried it though already had too much gain for harp.
