Agreed 100%.

Agreed 100%.  My digitech RP200 sounds great and costs $150 new.  A
65-watt keyboard amp adds about $300 new to the cost, and the
combination is loud and amazingly versatile, with most of the effects
that harp players would need, including a passable reverb and very
usable delays.  I would be surprised if a better-sounding,
more-versatile harp setup with comparable power can be purchased for
less than $1000.  And on most gigs, I don't even bother taking the
keyboard amp.
