Wow that sounds really good IMHO. What do you have the volume set at? To my ears it sounds slightly similar to the tone that Jason Ricci gets with his HG50, but it doesn't have that deep, rich, booming bottom end that the HG50 has. It sounds good as is but if you wanted to I'm guessing you could increase the bottom end by using the bass boost on one of the lonewolf pedals (Harp Tone+ , or the Harp Break). I may look into getting one of these.

Volume. 3-4 JR, I thought about that earlier. The compression is there. The bottom end is available with settings and yes, pedals add plenty. Amp cost $150.
Littoral, great playing! The amp sounds good, a little too compressed but good. I agree with REM... It reminds me of Jason's sound, and that is certainly not a bad thing. I think what I'm hearing is the power attenuator or resonance control, or both.
