RE: [Harp-L] "starter" amp recommendations

[Steve Shaw <moorcot@xxxxxxx>]

Mine's a Roland Mobile Cube. It packs quite a punch for such a little feller. It runs on 6 AA batteries, and if you want to run it from the mains you'd have to buy a mains adapter. I don't bother. If you use a cheapie electret mic for cupping in your hand, you can use the "instruments" socket on it and get some decent effects (not so with my Microvox setup, for some reason - I have to use the mic socket only). I get a really good, clean sound, which is what I want. It has reverb and delay and more. You might get it for around $160-170 in the US, leaving you change for your mic. It won't turn you into a pro but you'll have a lot of fun with it. Others' kilometerages may vary...

I am wondering what inexpensive amp the collective wisdom of the group recommends for someone wanting to try electric harp.   I'm able to spend up to about $200, knowing for that price I won't get anything that will fill an arena with sound, but hoping for decent sound
