A delay is the single most important effect for any musician playing any 
 electronic instrument.  I own 3 different delay pedals, not counting 
the ones in my rack reverb processors, and I carry at least one of them 
to every gig (usually the delays built into the RP200, which sound very 
good with harp -- they don't have a tap tempo function, unfortunately). 
 I check out new delays all the time -- they've all got different 
sounds, and you never know when one will turn your amp and mic into a 
new kind of dream machine.

A guitarist who can't understand why a harp player would want a delay 
has a very, very limited understanding of the things a delay can do. 
Does your guitarist have a delay pedal?
