Hi Dave,

I'm thinkin that this could be a pretty good harp amp, based on Fender's reputation and past. Is there any risk involved for a novice buyer like me? I like the retro look. I also like the price.

What do you think, Dave? I have a Hohner Blues Blaster mic.

I looked at it for you and a 15" speaker is not common for harp. Get the Fender Super Champ X2... it looks very much like a black-face Princeton and sounds great and has some great features (reverb, delay, etc.). Cheap price too.

Plus, you can plug it into your computer USB port! I always use my Super Champ X2 for my submissions.
