The Harmonica Harness
At Harmonicas Direct, we favour the two models of harp harness illustrated.
KM1. The upper photograph shows the K&M harmonica harness, a top quality German model. It adjusts easily and stays where you want it to stay. Two adjustable tongues at the back hold the harmonica firmly in the spring-loaded jaws.
JD1. Below it is the Jim Dunlop Harp Handle. The harp is gripped securely and there are two adjusting points for optimum harp/mouth contact.

The Vox AD15VT and AD30VT Valvetronix Amps | |
 |
These ingenious amps in 15, 30, 50 and now 100 watt form, use Valve Reactor technology, and feature a power
amp circuit containing a dual triode valve (vacuum tube) which would normally be used in a preamp. This allows the
amp to produce the true sound and feel of a bona fide all valve amp. Sophisticated modelling technology is used to emulate the sound of eleven different amps, from clsssic vintage amps to modern, expensive, high end valve amps, all at the turn of a knob. Eleven high quality built in effects, which include seven multi effects that enable the use of two effects simultaneously plus Noise Reduction. Favourite amp and effects settings can be programmed. Among the effects featured are; auto wah, compressor/phaser, comp'/chorus, chorus/delay, chorus/reverb, flanger/reverb, rotary+reverb and delay. Although much of the tone creation and shaping is is in the digital domain, the Valve Reactor power amp is 100% analogue, which provide the different tone and feel of original amps Vox modelled. The rear panel facilitates the use of a foot switch (available separately) for even more control, and a line out socket to connect to a mixer or recording device. |
