My local music store has a special on Fender blues jr 3   

http://flyers.long-mcquade.com/h/m/longmcquade/item/139067006?auto_locat...

Does anyone know if these are good for harmonica?  I am looking for a new medium size amp. 

 

Any thoughts?

Thanx.

Super Champ X2 comments

I bought a Super Champ X2 a few months back. I have been pleased with it. One advantage is it's built in effects and 2 channels. You can also further download more from the Fender website to configure your settings. It's reasonably loud, but may get drowned out when competing with larger guitar amps. So definitely need to mic it or use the line out function (reference my earlier post on the amp forum on using the line out). I used it this past week at an outdoor festival that I managed the entertainment for. It held up and worked good even in the hot sun. The line out to the PA worked well.
I am not as familiar with the Blues jr 3. I know it has a larger 12" speaker compared to the 10" in the X2. Not sure how much louder it would sound or if it is noticeable. There is not much in the way of built in effects compared to the X2. However I do know some players that really like it from comments on other forums. So perhaps they can chime in on their experience. You may want to search this forum or others for comments.

Harptrain 10?

Thank you for the advice.  I was also looking at the Harptrain 10 by lonewolfe.  I will keep investigating.
