Hello arsenalcp114. I have

Hello arsenalcp114. I have not tried this pedal, but it looks like it would work fine for harmonica. You might want to do a Google search and see what harp players say before investing the $ though.

Dano FAB?

Hope it's OK to chime in. Danelectro seems to drop and add pedal models as frequently as a major league pitcher asks for a fresh baseball. The well-known Dan Echo has apparently been out of production for quite a while, but can be found used for around $70 from many of the usual sources. I have a Danelectro FAB 600 mS delay that I bought new some years ago for about $25, and like for harp, and while it now appears that Dano has dropped it from the lineup as well, there are even big retailers offering their stock of new ones for as little as $15. And I've used various Dano PB&J pedals with guitar in the past and they were a good value. One caveat: Dano pedals can go through 9V batteries pretty quickly, so if you can pick up a standard 9V power source and use it as often as practical, that'll reduce costs over time. (I keep hinting that an upgrade to a Lone Wolf Harp Delay would be a nice gift, but the kids keep giving me socks instead. But then, I go through socks more frequently than I go through effects pedals.)
