OK, I'm a harp player. Not like Little Walter, more like a Steve Vai. I have found the tone I am after. It's in the new Fender Champion 600. Man, this thing has got the mojo. With a bullet mic, it screams TONE. (well, I do need a Boss EQ to make it perfect)

Anyway, I'm building a harp amp. The 600 has no reverb or effects send, and I really need that. Plus I need a gain knob, so I can do the volume thing. With the 600, you get the right distortion at about 8 and that's just too loud for playing in a small room.

OK, the amp... I will need a 10" 8ohm speaker that gets that Fender "jangly" tone. Does anyone have a suggestion? The regular Champion speaker maybe? I can't afford to buy a bunch and try them out. I just want some direction on which ones to try.

Thanks!! P.S. I just joined up today.

Hi matttheaxe

I put 2 Eminence lil'Buddies in a Tremolux cabinet along with my Bandmaster head and tried with my harp: it sounded great !

You may check the soundfiles on the Eminence site if you wish.

Best of luck and let the music play !
