Has anyone had experience with this particular amp for harp? I believe it has a 6" speaker. I'm generally looking for projects but I'm considering an exception here. It appears to be neighbor friendly.

If it has a 7591 power tube like its bigger Marvel brother
(12" speaker, volume and tone)
Which is same as Multivox 45 wth trem and Combo Bass w/o trem then it will be a great harp amp with a bigger speaker.
I owned two of the 45's and currently own a Combo Bass
with a vintage C12N that I will never sell. I run a 12AT7 Preamp.
It's been fully serviced so it sounds better than stock but
even stock its one of the best smaller harp amps out there.
Similar circuit and tone to the Premier G2R.

I just ck'd it out, its the same as a my Combo Bass w/o tone control and a smaller speaker.
Now w/o a tone control it may be a little different? You won't have control if its on the bright side. Easy enough to add a tone control or a Tone + pedal would be useful.
Dumb ??, how do I embed a Soundcloud file of my combo bass, I dont see that option anywhere. I have free version.

I have worked on and played the 7591 SE version with tone control and a 12. Sounded good not great, not real loud. It's all opinion of course...BN

Thanks you!
I've only recently started experimenting with different amps and I've always tried to steer clear of pedals. Seems like clutter for my purpose tho I did break down and get a delay a while back. I was curious about what you do with no tone control. I imagine one setting fits all in this case.
Speaking of missing control, I see a lot of Soundcloud offerings here and it looks like some have it down pat. I have to be pretty interested to click because I've yet to find the volume control unless I go to the SC site.
