Hi Charles,
  Great amp the Blues Jr, very popular with the harp pros in NZ.
A power soak aka attenuator will do the job, and give you a lot of control.
  For your situation the THD Hot Plate Attenuator would be the most
versatile.

  It has a seperate line out connection with seperate level control which
is very safe and offers a lot of freedom of control. 

  You can read more about attenuators, DIY line out circuits, and other
related topics here:
