I've been seeing a great number of posts lately about the Honeytone. I'm gonna get one myself here pretty soon. But I was wondering if anyone here had tried either of the Danelectro Hodad amps. There was a very positive review on MF from a harp player on the DH-1. Anyone here ever tried them?

That DH1 looks interesting--maybe I'll give one a try if I get to a Guitar Center. I'm still waiting to see if anybody has tried one--and I'd need Isaac's analysis on power and such ;-). . .

there are 2 reviews made by harp players on that dh1. another reviewer says this though- it is a very small amp which sounds good, but it IS just a small amp.

i have had a few small amps although none with as many features. i found them to be uniformly way too hot for most harp mics or even vocal mics like a sm57 or 58.

i do have here at home 2 dano's- a dirty thirty and a nifty fifty. both are ss amps and i actually used the thirty for harp for a short time. the only way i found to do this was to use a lo to hi z transformer and keep the volume way down let alone any of the treb or mids. i also had to drape a small towel over the front to cut some of the sharpness off the tone. i was real glad when we got where we could afford some more gear.

Was messing with my mp3 recording-device yesterday. Made a couple of recordings. Including one of the Brown dual speaker Danelectro Hodad model.

Thought I might share it here.

Recording is atop my soundcloud>see signature.
