How does the strum plate sound? Like the Omnichord--a harp sound?

There are many different instrument sounds for the strum plate just a few are guitar, banjo, piano, organ etc you program them in.

It can, but it has different sounds you can select ... such as piano, guitar,etc.

Here's a link to the list of instrument voices that it has built in: http://qchord.net/docs/voices.htm

The Q-chord has, not only the harp sound, but a choice of guitar, piano, strings, vibes, organ, flute and synthesizer -plus sound effects (including wind, running water) as well! (I find I can be a pianist, organist, flautist, etc without being able to play any of those instruments!)

sergio: thanks for the question but i have never played a 5-string bass. the cost on this plate is almost nothing so what i did on a previous plate that didn't fit is i swapped it out for something else with my local music store. the plate is universal.

Awesome for harp with a mic...I add a reverb pedal in-line to it to find what I want!

It honestly compares pretty well surprisingly. I set the action on mine pretty low and get great sound without any fret buzz. I picked up this guitar to have as an extra I could get a little rough with and not have to worry about it so much at its price. It actually sounds better than my 400 dollar Schecter.

It's not a big gong like you'd hear in "The King and I." It's a Chinese tam tam, 12" in diameter. It's made by Zildgian so you know it's sounds good. The attached video gives you the closest sound of the PO565 except it's pitched about a fifth higher than the one in the video. You can play it soft like the guy in the video or give it a really hard whack. It sounds great. Give a listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otucItOqJ_A. Hope this helps. Dave

Mine was almost perfect. The intonation was off by a pinch on the third string. It sounded good before the adjustment, and excellent after.

I bought this amp for use with blues harp. It is my go to amp for gigging. I did some mods to make it a little more harp friendly but it will work great for harp right out of the box. I have three mics I use with it depending on the sound I want. Clean, vintage, blues overdriven. I works great with all three. I paid about half the current price because I bought mine a few years ago when they first came out. Even at the current price, you really can't go wrong. Buy it and enjoy it with no worries! OkieFats is in the house!

I have no idea. I play it right out of the box. No mods at all and I have had nothing but positive feedback from folks I have gigged with. I did put an Ibanez delay pedal on the input and a speaker motor on the output because I crank the volume to full, set the tone to one quarter, and use the speaker motor to attenuate the output to the speaker. It's a great little amp, lots of tone, lots of Chicago crunch. Enjoy!

I don't think I'll be much help. Got it for my husband to annoy me with, lol. We are not really a musical family. I did pull it out of the box though and I couldn't find anything on the box or the didgeridoo about it being tuned to any specific key. I'd think that with it being a natural sound made by the curvature of the instrument and a cheaper version at that... it probably hasn't been tuned for any specific key.

I suppose with the right distortion and tuning you could make an electric sound similar to a Hawaiian steel guitar, but it might be easier to just go for a guitar which already produces this type of sound. A great deal of the sound will depend on techniques such as slides and bends.

Fairly low for a LP. No fret buzz, each string articulates clearly, yet fast lead playing (hammer-on/pull-off type stuff) are no problem. I put hybrid slinkys on it. Didn't adjust the action at all out of the box. But however you like it, the bridge is super easy to adjust.

It's okay but it sounds boxey. It sounds better thru a PA or an acoustic amp as there are more highs and lows. Taylor make a really great version of this type of guitar but at triple the price. I'm still foolin' around with it but I feel it has great potential.

I concur with exactly what jb said... I plugged it into an older Dennon recevier phono jacks and it sounded awful, as soon as plugged in to a aux input, sounded like it should. The only thing I don't like about it is that there is not a little needle lift/drop thingy :) I think the model that replaced the one I bought does have it.

You'd like to know what it sounds like? It sounds just like a simi trucks air horn. Maybe just not as loud. But as far as the tone mine is exactly the same.

I just tried hitting a chromatic scale while holding a tuner next to it. It appears to depend on how I hit it and which mallets are used. It was generally within 10 cents of an equal temperament scale although I hit some sour tones when I wasn't careful about hitting the center. Almost no reverb on it so I don't think it would clash in an ensemble.

I play harp using a bullet microphone through it and play my Fender Strat through it, and I am very please with both sounds. I never tried both at the same time but I am told there is a jack in the back. Is it for a second input? not sure, but I am sure there is tech info online regarding its use.
