Re: harp and guitar through Fender Concert

[Andrew Wimhurst <awimhurst@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My apologies. You ask whether you should use a different amp for 
guitar? If you get a decent tone through the normal 1 channel for 
guitar after you've set up the Vibrato channel for harp, there should 
be no problem. Studebaker John (I think that's his name) plays slide 
and harp thru a Concert.

BTW, I'd skip the Dano pedal. Don't they suck tone from your signal?
