Burn To Shine (1999) —  "For a crunch sound I use a Demeter amp, for a clean sound I use a Soldano solid state preamp. On stage I'll have the Asher and the Stratocaster plugged into a Roland powered-amp and a 4x10 Marshall speaker."

Diamonds On The Inside (2003) — "I have a couple of different amps. I use a Demeter 100 watt head and what’s great about it is that it’s got very true clean and dirty channels. The dirty channel gets up and kicks ass, and the clean channel is very sweet like a tweed Fender Bassman, which I love. And I also use a ’50s tweed Bassman for some of the clean tones. I plug all of my guitars through that rig, but I can also A/B them to go between the amps. So I can use the dirty or clean channel from the Demeter and I can run a dirty or clean channel through the Bassman."

Wires
ligne

Harper has two wires on stage : one wire feeds the guitar pickup sound through a direct box to the house. A second wire (used sometimes for the lap-slides, never on the round-necks) connects to a Boss compressor, Auto-Wah, and a volume pedal. The volume pedal feeds a vintage 1969 Marshall 100-watt amp head and (recent) cabinet with four 12-inch speakers. Thus, the Weissenborn sound can be blended through the mixing board to achieve varying proportions of Sunrise or Marshall signal. | photo by Nicholas Valenzuela
