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

[Rick Davis <bluesharpamps@xxxxxxxxx>]

J.R., this may exceed your budget a bit but it is worth noting.  Bruce
Collins of Mission Amps modifies Fender Deluxe Reverb amps so that one
channel retains the great guitar tone and the other channel is specifically
for harmonica.  I've heard these amp in action several times and the sound
is impressive.  Dan Treanor plays one.

Another option is the Memphis Mini amp.  Here is video of the guitar
through the little 6-watt MM amp:  https://youtu.be/6Ch6AjWmS3A
