Re: [Harp-L] Amp for Guitar and Harmonica?

[Eric Nielsen <ericbarnak@xxxxxxxxx>]

When I played both harp and guitar in bands, I used a keyboard amp. It
works for a variety of instruments. At times, we even used it in lieu of a
PA during practice. Not sure of pricing; you'll have to check that out.
