HA-1A Headphone Practice Amp. The HA-1A is not designed to
make you sound good. Instead, it is designed to tell you the
truth about how you sound. If your fingers make squeaky noises
on the strings when you move, if your E string is twice as loud
as your D, if your intonation is lousy - the HA-1A will tell
you. There are
