RE: [Harp-L] Super Champ XD tube amp

["Bradford Trainham" <bradford.trainham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I have the Super Champ XD and, by all acounts, it seems to work well for me.

I rolled off the highs and much of the mids on the clean channel, dialed in
a teeny-tiny bit of dirt on the DSP channel and I was good to go. 
Fifteen/Twenty watts (The brochure says one thing; the manual says another)
won't cut through a serious rock band, but I was able to be heard well
enough. 
But in all contexts, the word is, whether playing guitar or what ever
through the amp that you have to replace the speaker. 
 I haven't done that yet, but I plan on it.
Oh, and for mics, I'm using the Audix Fireball.

I tried one out recently in a local music shop. Admittedly I didn't spend
much time setting it up, but  I have to say I wasn't impressed at all by it
for harp.

If you're looking for a dependable affordable amp then I would say try a
Fender Pro Jr.

Has anyone used this amp for harp, any comments.
I'm thinking about getting something a bit more dependable.
