Re: [Harp-L] Re: Mouse vs. Hog 20 ...

Sounds kinda like the Crate Taxi and Limo seires amps.  1/4 inch phono
inputs and xlr for mic.

I haven't used either for harp.  Several years ago I borrowed a Limo to do
some 'singer songwhining' over on the beach at Treasure Island.  It was fine
for amping acoustic guitar and SM-58.

None of the local corporate gitshops over here stock them.  My guess it
would be acceptible if you have a hot CM or CR bullet and a digital delay.
