I sometimes play through a Peavey Classic 30 - not the greatest...
The C 50 410 isn't a great "out-of-the-box" harp amp, BUT... There's a
website somewhere that details "Bassman" Mods for the C50. If you have a
good amp tech, he could probably get it to be better than the average
50-watt rig (for the $$$$).

You MIGHT even find it tolerable with (Weber) speaker swaps & some tube
substitutions. My C30 os not *bad* - it's just not *great*.
