Title: Over The Rainbow jazz/blues medley
Post by: tubenit on November 21, 2023, 07:26:14 pm
Recent "open mic', a friend and I did.  I put together a medley of 3 different compositions (one which I wrote)  with Over The Rainbow  in the middle of it.   My friend is playing lead.


A jazzy interpretation of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow.' - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSfooQBiJ34)


I'm playing my HoSo56 6BM8 amp "the Minimalist"   HoSo56 minimalist (el34world.com) (https://el34world.com/Forum/index.php?topic=17863.0)    I had it dialed in to get more of a mid/warm tone but it can get a bright fenderish tone also.


With respect, Jeff

Very nice.... Always liked that song.
I want to build a 6BM8 amp someday, so cool to get power and PI in one tube.
Is the amp to your left on floor?
I especially like the djembe guy drinking and playing, after all he does have two hands.

Yes, the amp was to my left.  Both guitar and amp I built.   So far that amp which is maybe 7-9 watts has had enough volume to play open mics off and on in different settings without ever needing to be mic'd.

What speaker did you use?

Emminence Legend 1058 and I feel like it's an excellent match for this amp design. I enjoy the tone it gives.

Assuming you are refer to matching speaker performance/tone to amp (and not impedance matching)
What advice do you offer to "match" speaker to amp

Yes, I was referring to tone which is my primary consideration in matching.  It should be noted some amps can get by with something of a mismatch on impedence.  Dumble did that with some of his amp designs.
