I think you got the idea. Personally, I think the tone is trebly. Something tells me you need to work on setting up the amp more, because I don't think it's exactly your technique completely.

Please enlighten...?
Is the Weber speaker upgrade worth it, and also changing the tubes from x's to u's (or the other way round :L)

Cheers for replying :) so It's not me its my crappy gear then. :)
OK so amp is a fender champ reissue with no mods
mic is a 520 dx (cringe) but a chuck gurney is on the cards this summer along with a boutique amp.

Okay, I think that mic might be a bit of the culprit. I'm not saying it's all the gear, but that tone sounded much more affected by an amp and mic than you. I think you should try doing this acoustic, it would sound much better.

Sounds good dude. I like your ideas. Maybe try an emphasize some of the 3rd position wail notes a little bit more! Theres a lot of good stuff there for you to explore. I like what you're doing.

Its very hard to capture the essense of a harmonica amp through home recording anyways so I wouldn't fret too much about that.
