My comment was not prompted by the recent discussion on fender amps. And as I also said in my post, I think this is a list where harp eqipment, including amps, should be discussed.

The point, once more said, is that the right equipment is what helps to make a good musician sound better. But the first and foremost key to good music is the musician and his/her skills.

Still interested to read about any kind of equipment, though.
