Randy Landry and his team at Lone Wolf Blues Company are the leaders in stompbox pedals built specifically for harmonica players. Over the years, the Harp Tone+, Harp Octave and Mojo Pad have all been essential parts of my touring rig. Their pedal line has allowed me to feel comfortable wrangling a solid tone out of just about any amp and has made me much more confident walking into any backline or recording situation. Randy's care and dedication to the harmonica community has truly made great tone easier and more accessible than ever before!
You may be skeptical that pedals can get you in the ballpark of your favorite amp's tone. You may also believe that a YouTube video is worth 1,000 words. In the event that the previous statements apply to you, in the two videos below we flew to Memphis and Chicago to record live sets with whatever backline gear the studio had. Typical guitar amplifiers can be very challenging to wrangle for harmonica and these backline amps were no exception. Armed with my Lone Wolf pedal rig, I was able to dial in a sound on both gigs that I feel rivals my favorite tweaked-out amps at home. As they say, "God made amps, but Randy Landry made them equal". Incredible and incredibly practical!
