From: "Stephen Shaw"
Subject: Cheap affordable amp

Can anyone tell me whether the "Legendary Pignose" Pignose 7-100 battery
amp is any good for harmonica players? I am attracted by the idea of an
amp that I can just plug into, without all the hassle of having to trail
leads across pub floors, tripping people up and getting myself sued. I'm OK
in my home venue with my usual amp but if I visit other pubs it can be a
real pain. You'd be amazed at the number of olde worlde pubs in my part of
the UK (Cornwall) that have rooms without a single electrical socket!!
I can buy this Pignose for about £90 here. The other battery/rechargeable
amps I've heard of cost quite a lot more and are beyond my reach. I realise
that there will be some compromise in volume and sound quality - but how
much? I'd be glad to get any candid advice as to the suitability of this
amp. If it's at all relevant my usual mic is a Green Bullet and I use a 15
watt amp, but never anything like flat out.
All the best to all
