Interested in opinions on this as a harp amp. I've read a couple of
posts in the archives, just wondering if there's anyone out there
using one currently and with what success. Also, any mods needed
other than tube swaps and is there a significant difference between
older models and newer ones? As always, thanks harp-l-ers!

I've had mine now for almost a year. It's a '96.
I am very happy with it, and so are the folks I play with and for.
If there are other Lansing, MI harp players on the list, feel free to
share your honest views -- a lot of folks have played through it at
the thursday jam in town.
I use either an EV 767 vocal mic, or a shaker madcat. The madcat is
new, it's mostly what I use now.
Both of those mics are feedback resistant -- feedback has never been a
problem with either, up to any volume.
Harp players using a bullet mic do sometimes run into feedback, but
it's manageable.
It has two input jacks. We've run two harp mics into at once it with
fair results. When we do that, I run the madcat through an EQ pedal,
Since the madcat and a bullet call for different tone/volume settings.
No mods to the amp -- I've not even done the tube swab yet, though I
plan to.
Fact is, it sounds good, and I'm not compelled to 'fix' it.
It is heavy, I am not young.
I build a cart for it.
3" casters, wood, handles on each side for two-person handling when
necessary.
It never leaves the cart. Everybody loves the cart.
