If you need a 4x10 to be heard over the guitarists then you're not playing
blues, you're playing 'bluz raaaaawk' and need to get out of there fast and
have yourself sterilised to guard against any kind of deterioration in your
musical taste.
Jokes aside - I've been in that situation and nothing kills good harp
phrasing quicker than a loud band. Harp needs space and loud players are
usually busy and tonally stomp all over the midrange. Forget about harp in
that situation.
