i'm a beginner and a i would like to start with a mini amp, even because i don´t have money to buy a pro amp.

I was looking this two models, Pignose 7-100 and Vox Mini 3.

Which one is better to play with a harmonica?

Both, none, or there is another one?

Thank you.

Vox or Pignose

Hello Pasteto- Sorry for the slow reply. I think that you made a great choice! When it comes to learning about amplified playing, the important thing is to get an amp, ANY amp, and begin to learn how to make your sound come out of a speaker instead of out of the harmonica. Just learning how cupping the mike affects tone will keep you busy for a while. Good luck and keep practicing (and jamming if possible).
