Splittin' at the Seams - Harp notes

Just thought I'd throw my album notes out there...rhythm harmonica means I played rhythm on a specific section...never the whole song.  We wrapped recording this week.  I'll posts parts of some of the rough mixes as I figure out how/where to host the audio.  The album will drop on February 23.  I'll be posting here more now that the holidays are over and I am back to the daily grind!

  1. Do you use the vibro champ XD, or do you use one of the vintage vibro champs? I liked the sound you got on the video you posted, and the vibro champ XD seems to be very affordable. Although it would make sense if the one you were using was a vintage model, as the vintage amps ussually sound better than the modern versions. Thanks.

  2. I used a Silverface Vibro Champ with JJ 6v6 tubes, a JJ 12ax7 and Weber Sig Ceramic. I have not tried the XD.
